The Andanças Canteen is back this year and with several new features.

This year we don’t have just one canteen, but two Andanças Canteens, run by two local organisations and located at their respective headquarters: the Sociedade Recreativa Campinhense and the Centro Social e Paroquial do Sagrado Coração de Jesus do Campinho.

In these canteens, festival participants can find omnivorous and vegetarian options for lunch and dinner and complete meals [soup, main course, drink, bread and dessert], with local products and at a fair price. Each meal will cost €12.

In line with the production and consumption principles of the Andanças Festival, with the idealised objectives of ‘zero waste’, seeking to contribute to more sustainable consumption and lifestyles, these canteens will promote
◊ the reduction of food waste through Dose Certa, raising awareness among people to serve themselves only the amount of food they will consume;
◊ the consumption of local products, encouraging national production, creativity and more sustainable, quality products and services;
◊ the Zero Kilometre, looking for local suppliers whenever possible, promoting the local economy, but also reducing the ‘ecological footprint’ and unnecessary food costs;
◊ the use of the mug, because at Andanças we don’t use disposable crockery – there are no disposable plastic cups, plates or cutlery. There are reusable mugs for each participant and the plates and cutlery are washed after meals;
◊ recycling as a habit that has already gained strength in everyone’s consciousness – at Andanças we selectively collect waste for recycling. Mini-bins for packaging are dotted around the venue; organic waste is separated for local composting.
