They take cards now - Edit
Volunteer run place that is on the up again, with a fresh coat of paint and more positive attitude after the spycops scandal set them back for a while. Great atmosphere and the most healthy and affordable food in Nottingham.

Laid back - Edit
Been here a few times, food was always very good and very cheap. Nice to be with like minded people to chat about animal welfare to the general state of our world. Voluntary run , a real hippy feel about the place...love it , bonus its a 5 minute walk away from me .

Ethics before profit - Edit
The place to brush up on every thing from anti fracking to burger mix.The peoples kitchen allows money to be raised for many causes, as much about human rights as animal rights.
Read morePros: informative on animal/human rights, lends itself to fundraising for animal/humanrights, inexpensive
Cons: more functional than decorative

vegan homecooked meal - Edit
great that it's vegan but the quality and quantity of the food is variable. As it a community space they only serve food once a week on a saturday, eve at 7pm. i've had some lovely 3 course meals here but also some dire ones, such as 1 course which consisted of overcooked pizza!! It all depends on which volunteer is cooking.
Read morePros: ethos is great. vegan . cheap
Cons: variable food quality.

I've only visited the sumac a few times but I had great experiences. The food is fantastic and the people are very friendly. Kind of feels like you're sat at home with your family.

Awesome community space! Awesome food! - Edit
The volunteers at Sumac have made a brilliant community space, with books, music and tasty vegan food. We had a thali that was truly delicious, and rivalled the best Indian restaurants I've been to - at a fraction of the price. There's a real community spirit and strong radical and vegan politics. This is how to change the world. Definitely stop in and check it out!
Read morePros: Great space with real community, Tasty vegan food for little money, Building a real movement for change

Great atmosphere - Edit
We went to the Nottingham Picnic at The Sumac Centre last weekend and had a wonderful time. The atmosphere was great, everyone was friendly and the bar is non-profit so the prices are very reasonable. We're heading back this evening for a fundraiser dinner and intend to become members of the social club.

Needs supporting! - Edit
Sumac is voluntary run so I'm up for supporting it whenever I'm in Notts. Bit of a trek from town, but while you're there why don't you see if anything needs doing e.g. cleaning and tidying? You can feel you've added to the running of this great activist social center. It's a shame us outsiders want to help more than the trendy local activists.
