3FF is a community dining experience on 3rd Fridays at Number 28 in Belper.

🥑🍓🥕🫛🥦🍍🍋🥗

📆Friday 16th October we are back at Number 28 with a '3rd Friday Feast' that's open to all.

⏳Doors at 6.30pm - food at 7pm(ish)

Lead cook Marcela, aided by Pippa-from-number 28 & friends, will be serving an authentic meal of Mexican tacos

• Soft corn tortillas with two fillings

• Mole (‘sauce’ in the Aztec language), made with three types of chillies - ancho, pasilla and mulato - for a depth of complex and sweet flavours

• Salsa verde with courgette, sweetcorn and home-grown tomatillos

• Refried beans

• Rice

Marcela’s recipe - as with most authentic Mexican cuisine - focuses on flavour rather than heat.

❤️‍🔥You can add heat with the *optional* salsas on the table 🔥

💦If you’re wary of hot spice, we see you! 👩🏻‍🚒

Dessert

• Spicy marble cake with a pouring sauce

🍷🍻if you fancy a tipple, please bring your own or grab a take-away from the Angel micro-pub next door.

The dessert will be made with capomo flour (technically a seed, but also known as the Maya nut). Marcela will tell us a little more about this product and why it is close to her heart and her work. Her company Tierra Foods is involved in tree planting in Mexico, and surplus funds raised will be sent to the charity FCEA - Fondo para la Comunicación y la Educación Ambiental

Book your FREE SPOT now.

We collect donations after the meal, so please bring cash if you can. Any surplus will be donated to charity - more about that on the night.

🤗If you're feeling a bit shy or unsure, please reach out and we will do our best to make sure your needs are catered for. Come alone or with others, it's all good!🤗

With love from Team 3FF 😘

What are you waiting for?

There’s only one more 3FF after this before we wrap up for the year. We’re not cooking in December, so book now! The last 3FF of 2026 will be on 20th November, when Miles of Freedom Feed Em fame will be guest cheffing with the lovely Ola & friends.

WHAT IS THIS?

3FF is a community dining experience on 3rd Fridays at Number 28 community space in Belper.

Each month a team of volunteers serves a main course and pudding.

Donations are taken after the meal, and any surplus after costs is donated to a charity of the lead cook's choice.

Diners are asked if they're willing to volunteer for a small chore - many hands make light work, and many friends are made while drying dishes!

Spaces are free to book, but we ask that when choosing how much to donate on the night, you consider:

A: what you can afford (paying nothing is of course acceptable)

B: a donation based on the costs for putting on the event (usually around £5-10 a head) plus more if you value community projects or want to support the chosen charity.

C: adding a solidarity premium, to help subsidise costs for your neighbours who may be less able to do so.
