Canalside Kitchen is open for brunch Monday-Saturday 11am-2pm.

Join us for brunch Monday to Saturday between 11am and 2pm and enjoy healthy, wholesome food in a calm and relaxed setting. We also serve the best fresh coffee, chai lattes and hot chocolates in the area! Come take a break and enjoy a chat in our friendly café, chill out in our quiet conservatory or connect with nature in our peaceful gardens. Mind Body Lab is the perfect setting for a catch-up with family, friends and colleagues or to simply sit and unwind.

Our food is fresh, whole and plant-based. Our sourdough bread is made fresh every morning and collected from our local artisan bakers, www.medicinebakery.co.uk in Codsall.

From a scientific perspective - The science and benefits of a whole-foods plant-based diet are supported by numerous studies and research findings and include a lower risk of heart disease, improved weight-management, reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, lower risk of certain types of cancer, improved digestive health, reduce inflammation, increase in longevity and lower environmental impact. With the majority of the world's population being lactose intolerant post infancy, a diet free of milk-derived products is the healthiest choice for most people and will reduce the risk of chronic inflammation and and other chronic illness.

From a yogic philosophical perspective - We promote a compassionate and more mindful approach to life - which begins with one's personal choices and self-discipline. The moral choice to abstain from eating other sentient beings plays a fundamental part in the purification process of mind and body. We absorb the energy of whatever we eat, including the mental state of the animals we consume. When these "toxins" and the low quality (tamasic) energy they bring into the mind-body are removed, we begin to increase calming quality (sattvic) which yoga seeks to optimise in practitioners.
