Out of the Woods is out of this world
>>> Posted 28/11/06
New juice bar, Out of the Woods, is set to make a natural impression on the residents and businesses of Holbeck Urban Village.
The idea, a joint venture between co-owners Jon Baldwin and Ross Halliday, is to offer a healthy fast food alternative using fresh ingredients from local suppliers. The juice bar will be offering sandwiches, salads, sushi and of course smoothies and juices. Out of the Woods will also be opening from 7am to offer a healthy breakfast including muesli, granola, porridge and fruit salads.
This is a juice bar with conscience, not only is their mission to create a healthy Holbeck but almost all products will be made from fair trade and locally sourced ingredients and the cutlery is made by veg-ware who provide disposable bio-degradable utensils and recycled napkins for restaurants. The environmentally aware company have also refitted the shop, on the corner of Marshall Street, using reclaimed timbers and recycled materials.
Jon is excited about his venture and has high hopes for the Holbeck area :”We were looking for somewhere to start up our business and this area just seemed to have so much happening. We completed a survey of local businesses asking them if healthy alternatives would appeal and everyone seemed really excited about it. We are really pleased with the area as there is this community vibe you get just from walking around the place and there is also a lot of history that seems to be being brought back to life. It is not just another city living scheme.”
Out of the Woods, Water Lane, Holbeck opens on December 8th 2006.
