Wild Bunch is a smoothie and juice bar, café and health food shop situated in the part of Chiswick High Road where nobody goes. It's west of Sainsbury's and near where Blockbuster used to be (any teenagers reading this might be interested to know that in the good old days Blockbuster was where we went to rent a DVD, like a real life Netflix shop).
The café isn't big but it's big enough, with a few small tables and some stools facing on to the street. We were the first in on Sunday morning quickly followed by another couple and their baby, who we suspect were the owners judging by their enthusiasm for testing the opening and closing of the door (it was pretty cold).
The menu has a wide array of juices and smoothies all of which I would have quite happily have tried. I had the Sweet Beets, a combination of beetroot (surprise!), carrot, apple and lime. Mr. West4urants had the Gold Immunity Booster, a good winter choice, comprising orange, carrot, lemon, ginger and turmeric.
To eat, I had the porridge with honey made with soya milk - you can choose your milk - with banana and grapes, sprinkled, but not liberally, with bee pollen and coconut. My husband had the avocado and smoked salmon on rye open sandwich which was beautifully presented. A wholemeal bagel with almond butter, bananas and grapes served to the man next to us also looked good.
The employees were young, pleasant and helpful, but not overly so, and from a variety of European countries - Hungary, Poland and Italy on this occasion. Brexit could cause some serious staffing issues.
We took away some Ma's, Bouncy and Smackers Bars (get it?) as a healthy treat for later in the day. All in all, we came out feeling rather smug with our virtuous start to the day.

The salmon and avocado on Rye looks amazing!
