Healthy beachside cabin to hit St. Aubin

Saturday 14 July 2018

Nude Food, known for its clean eating and healthy ethos, is expanding to the beach. Customers will soon be able to munch on healthy café food while looking over St. Aubin’s Bay at Nude Beach, just opposite La Haule Manor.

Lucy Morris, owner of Nude Food and Nude Body, says she grew up in St. Aubin's Bay and has always thought, "...one day it’ll be nice to have a beach bar."

Clean eating and healthier alternatives have become more popular, but Ms Morris says she feels there still aren't many cafés offering this kind of food. 

Seeing a gap in the market, she is hoping to give people a beachside alternative to burger and chips. She explained: “We’re not going to be selling the same kinds of foods, it’ll be beautiful looking, beautiful tasting, healthy food.”

"The food’s going to be healthy, fresh, and local. I’ve been speaking to one of the local fisherman about getting his catch of the day…it will be fresh, not farmed, not shipped in from anywhere.”

Pictured: Nude Food are all “all wholesale”, with “no additives, no preservatives and no refined sugars.”

The business owner described the cabin as being in a “prime location”, but says the space just isn’t being utilised properly. 

Ms Morris was recently granted a license that will allow her to serve alcohol in the cabin. She said: “At first, I thought it’s not the Nude brand to sell alcohol, but there’s alcohol that’s really clean. People like a glass of wine with their meal and the food we’re going to serve there deserves to be complemented with a glass.” 

She also explained how she’d been approached by people asking if the cabin will be a place for people to gather and have drinks before a christening or a wedding reception, so thought an alcohol license would be necessary to provide customers with that experience.

While set by the seaside, Nude Beach will not just be a seasonal cabin. Heating will be installed so that customers can pay a visit in the colder months. Morris added: “When there’s a storm over the bay, there’s nothing nicer than being in a glass box, warm, cosy, eating good food and watching the weather outside.”

Nude Beach is expected to be open its doors in the first two weeks of August
