The shop is only small but is like an Aladdin's cave with so many different items stock. The staff are wonderful and know exactly what they are talking about and if they don't they look it up for you; they will not just pretend to know and risk giving you bad information. They will also give you there honest opinion if they think and item is not going to help you, they won't just sell you something just for the sale. If I am ever unsure about anything I am considering to take as a supplement to my diet I will always visit this shop first for an honest and straight forward answer. The prices are very competitive.

I wandered in while waiting to go on Brum Radio and ended up buying my lunch of a thai vegetable wrap and a super red juice. Both were fresh, healthy and wonderful and also massive shouts to the woman behind the counter who was friendly happy and well informed about all of the products. We ended up having a lovely chat after I had paid my £5 for my food/drink....I left smiling and went to eat sat on a wall, in the sun. Ideal. If you are veggie, vegan or health conscious definitely pay this place a visit. 5* experience!

This shop is a lovely gem of a shop in the little town of Oakwood. It might not have the fruit and…read moreveg section as in Love Organic, Chapel A, but it certainly can match them for organic nuts and seeds! As well as this there is a vast selection of health supplements, which is surprising for such a small space, of all kinds from homeopathy right through to oral vitamins. They also have a huge selection of quirky items such as organic beers and alcohols, free from foods and even those awesome old school jam jars of sweets, like mint imperials, which are the kind of thing you expect from a gift shop in Devon. The lady at the counter was absolutely lovely and gave excellent service - multi tasking a customer on the phone and a lady in the shop simultaneously! They also have an in house Doctor who can provide acupuncture, amongst other services - housed above the actual store. All in all I found this shop to be brilliant. For all your organic health needs, come to The Health Store in Oakwood.

On entering the shop, my eyes were met with a beautiful array of fresh, organic fruit and…read morevegetables. (Or venchtables as I used to call them, until I was embarrassingly old enough to know better.) Large wicker baskets full of apples greet the customer, many having the all important bonus leaf. It truly made me want to pick them up and start skipping through a nearby meadow, wearing a flowing dress and possibly conversing with tamed animals. Too far? Forget it. A former vegetarian myself, I understand the convenience of having somewhere like Out Of This World to rely on in a city centre. It means being able to purchase items which are sometimes not even stocked in the larger supermarkets, to maintain a balanced diet without being forced to use unwanted substitutions. Too well stocked to be a health food shop, Out Of This World falls into the category of health food supermarket. There is a huge range of the usual nuts, seeds and pulses; but also a surprising number of Traidcraft toiletries, recycled stationary, hair dye and household cleaning products. Alongside fairly traded tea and coffee, vitamins, supplements and natural remedies, the store also caters for sufferers of restrictive diets. There is a varied selection of groceries for people who have to omit gluten, wheat and diary from their nutritional intake, and a large number of vegetarian and vegan ready meals. One reason why I particularly like Out Of This World, is because they stock Samuel Smith ale and lager. A real favourite with my Other Half and I, they provide us with a constant hoard. Bondgate Bakery in Otley supply the store with freshly baked loaves and buns, with gluten and wheat free alternatives available. A deli counter offers freshly made quiches, samosas and wraps - a handy lunch or a lazy supper. The staff are very approachable and were more than happy to assist me in finding a difficult item for a family member. What I mean by that, is my Gran was looking for bee pollen, because the lothario that she listens to on her local radio station had been praising its medical benefits. Any shop that can help me in my quest for bee pollen, has earned respect in my eyes.

A lot of places have changed in what feels like a very small space of time, but not Out Of This World. I used to come here on Saturdays to purchase their organic milk and elderflower cordial for the bar that I worked at on Call Lane. It was always handy to stock up in case anyone wanted a White Russian, but really it was mostly to supply my need for coffee. Also, there is nothing quite as refreshing as elderflower cordial and lemonade. Seriously, it used to be my favourite drink. I love the smell when you walk in to this shop. It's not exclusive, it's that same smell most organic shops have, but it is lovely. The smell of good. Only goodness. Nothing in here can really be bad for you. At least, that's what we can believe until we learn otherwise! Within you will find, as well as hoards of organic foods, all sorts of enviro-friendly cosmetics, cleaning products (for you and your clothes) and much more. It errs on the expensive side if you wanted to do your weekly shop here, but it is sure worth buying that elderflower cordial. Yum!

They are, quite simply, incredibly well-stocked and whatever your seemingly annoyingly untreatable complaint, they'll have something alternative for you to try. The staff are not only caring and considerate but exceptionally well-informed and even attend courses to stay up-to-date with new products. After having no luck at all with conventional medicine for a sinus condition, I was recommended a harmless spray which cleared the problem up brilliantly. They also stock an excellent range of special foods for dietary conditions as well as all the health shop standards, homeopathy (the only shop that stocks a proper Weleda range) essential oils, vitamins and natural pain relievers and will also order in anything you want. On top of all this (literally, upstairs) is a gorgeous coffe shop with homemade cakes and great hot and cold lunch dishes. This really is an extraordinarily good place, we're lucky to have it in Bridgford and long may it last!
