Over the past few year many members have on the Forum anguished over the lack of a non smoking eatery in Putney - at last this month the High Street has seen the arrival of a new coffee shop - "not another one!" I hear you sigh! but Natural appears to be different, for one it is totally non smoking.

Part of a fast growing cafe operation offering an exciting innovative range of natural products in a fun and uplifting environment. ‘There is a greatly increased awareness now of healthy eating and nutrition. We offer a delicious range of food and drink which tastes great and is also good for you’, said Paul Currie, founder and MD of Natural.

Their aim is to offer delicious, convenient food and drink filled with nutritious ingredients, and, in addition to the design-led seating area, there is also a retail area within the store selling a range of healthy products. The broad range includes freshly made juices and smoothies, organic fair-trade coffees and teas, salads, wraps, baked potatoes and sandwiches, all with nutritional information explained in a fun manner. You can either eat in or takeaway. The stores are very family friendly and offer a ‘Kids Corner’ with DVDs and toys in all stores. They are also all non smoking.

Four stores have been opened to date, in Chiswick, Wimbledon, Godalming and now in Putney.
