WHETHER apple and berries tickle your fancy or its bananas, mango and peach there's a flavour for everyone at a new Winchester juice bar.

Warren and Cheryl Scarr, of Quarry Road in St Giles Hill, have opened a new juice bar in a bid to bring healthier products to High Street customers with Rawberry - a healthy food alternative serving organic coffees and vegetarian wraps.

For Mr Scarr, who has given up his near 30 year career to take over the former Pitfields in the Brooks Centre.

“We're deliberately offering food that makes people feel good,” he said. “I have a corporate background for 29 years but I wanted to get out and do my own thing. I had this idea and thought there was a gap in the High Street in did some work on developing the idea and thought this might be a goer.

“It's based around juicing. All our research for it was good on a number of different levels. We tested it on the market for three months to see what the response was like and a lot of people said it was great if we had somewhere open everyday. So when the opportunity came up we took it with both hands and we're both excited about it.”

The whole enterprise has been a family affair. The couple are being helped out by their daughter Emily, who has just returned from Cardiff where she studied fashion. Son Tom, a digital marketing analyst in the city, and other daughter Molly, who's off to Bristol, have been nipping in every now and then while they set up.

“We're hoping we will stay here for the rest of the year and depending on how well we do we'll look at somewhere more permanent,” Mr Scarr added.

“It's early days and it's about testing the concept. It's not just opening up a little coffee shop. It's amazing the ideas we've had from customers and it would be great to grow the business. We're making a brand that we'd like to grow and see where it can take us.”
