More than one thing
The Roast is where we began — and it has grown into something bigger. Here’s what’s happening now, and what we’re working towards.
Shared meals around a proper table — starting with our much-loved Community Roast, where everyone has a place.
A friendly cuppa and a bite to eat to start the day in good company. One of the ideas we are working towards next.
Simple, friendly contact for neighbours who would appreciate someone looking in — a knock on the door, a chat, a hand with little things.
Relaxed places to meet, natter and feel at home — no sign-up, no pressure, just good company.
Neighbours helping neighbours with everyday things, from a lift to an appointment to a hand around the house.
Marking the moments that matter together — festive dinners, summer get-togethers and celebrations through the year.
The simple bit
No referrals, no forms, no jargon. Just four small steps — tap each one to see what it means.
Walk through the door and find a friendly face. No forms, no fuss — just a warm welcome and a seat saved for you.
Lend a hand or lean on one — neighbours looking out for each other in small, practical ways that add up.
Become part of something local and lasting. This is your community, and there is always room at the table.

Much More Than a Meal
Before there was Chesterfield Together, there was the Roast — a proper Sunday-style dinner where neighbours sat down as strangers and stood up as friends. It is where this whole thing began, and it is still the heart of what we do.
Good food, warm company and a table where everyone belongs. The Roast is our flagship — and it always will be.
