Millions of tonnes of food are thrown away in the UK every year, with Britain wasting more than any other European country.

Now a group of entrepreneurs have built an app that they hope will cut down on waste by allowing restaurants to sell food that they otherwise would have thrown away at knock-down prices.

Too Good To Go, an app that launched in several UK cities this year and is now arriving in London, shows users local restaurants that are willing to sell high-quality dishes for between £2 and £3.80 – often less than half the normal price.
