What is Shed?
Not only are they proud plant-pushers, but pioneers of a healthier future. The team at Shed see themselves as a lifestyle company that incorporates not only cafes, but a lot of other elements too. You can sit in and eat or attend a juice making workshop. It’s affordable food, not just made for a vegan diet, but for people who love exciting new tastes that provide excellent nourishment.
What’s on the menu?
From building your own bowl, to hot meals, to cold pressed juices and organic cakes, you won’t be missing out. You can choose to customise your whole meal by choosing a carbohydrate, salad, topping and dressing, or you can go for a hot bowl, such as the beautifully wholesome butternut squash tagine. The Caesar Geezer is another popular dish and a great example of a tasty, natural dressing – made up of kelp, nutritional yeast, capers and organic cashew milk. Shed also do a variety of cold pressed juices, the key word here being cold. They don’t use heat to compress their juices so no nutrition is lost. A popular choice of flavour is clockwork orange, made of carrot, apple and ginger, and boasting a nice kick.
