This January David Lloyd Clubs<\/a><\/span> is opening a unique pop-up restaurant designed specifically to complement positive mental health. ‘The Good Plates’ is being created in collaboration with experts in nutritional therapy and interior design. The restaurant provides an interactive and enjoyable way to learn about how certain foods, surroundings and social interactions can complement overall wellbeing when introduced into daily life.<\/p>\n

All parts of the restaurant are designed with positive mental wellbeing in mind, including: the food, the tableware, the d\u00e9cor and colour scheme, the lighting, music, the communal seating and conversational prompts provided to diners.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

‘The Good Plates\u2019 menu is being created by chef and mental health ambassador Andrew Clarke under the supervision of nutritional therapist Ian Marber. Andrew Clarke is\u00a0also the co-founder of the Pilot Light campaign, which is devoted to combating the stigma surrounding mental health in hospitality.<\/p>\n

When creating ‘The Good Plates’ menu Andrew Clarke and Ian Marber focused on two things: firstly, what the brain – which is made up in large part of essential fatty acids, water and other nutrients \u2013 needs to remain healthy which is complex carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins and minerals and water; and secondly what helps the gut. The gut is considered the second brain and for this to remain healthy it needs to have plenty of healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables and wholegrains, beans, pulses, live yoghurt and other probiotics.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the six-course sharing menu comprises seasonal, mood-boosting foods as well as ingredients that take this research into consideration and which are known to complement positive mental health. Cauliflower, salsify and almonds, for example, can help with feelings of anxiety and stress when introduced into a regular diet. A range of complementary non-alcohol beverages will also be on the menu.<\/p>\n

In addition to expert consultation on the food, David Lloyd Clubs is working with interior design professional Katharine Pooley, using research to guide the d\u00e9cor, lighting and layout of the environment \u2013 to ensure that all parts of the restaurant are designed with positive wellbeing in mind. As a part of this, all of the seating is communal to encourage conversations between diners (with conversation-starters provided).<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for David Lloyd Clubs,<\/strong> commented: \u201cThe Good Plates<\/em> restaurant is not an attempt to be a cure or quick-fix for mental health difficulties, but instead simply be a warm and welcoming place where people can learn in an interactive way how certain foods, surroundings and conversations can complement positive mental wellbeing when they form part of everyday life.\u00a0Inside, the aim is to give guests a positive experience and hopefully they will feel that they have benefitted in some small way from their time at the restaurant. But we also hope guests leave having taken on board some of the thinking behind The Good Plates<\/em> and introduce this into their day-to-day lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Good Plates restaurant will be open at 46 Great Eastern Street, London,\u00a0 on the 22nd<\/sup> and 23rd<\/sup> January. Diners hoping to secure their space at The Good Plates restaurant can find out more by visiting: https:\/\/www.universe.com\/events\/the-good-plates-restaurant-tickets-RTHNF4<\/a><\/span>. The experience will cost \u00a310, which includes six dishes plus up to three non-alcoholic cocktails. All money from bookings will go to charity Mind<\/a><\/span>, the mental health charity.<\/p>\n

Dishes inspired by Andrew\u2019s recipes and The Good Plates restaurant will be available in David Lloyd clubrooms in January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
