Filmore & Union announces Skipton as venue for eighth site


Independent Yorkshire-based healthy eating company, Filmore & Union, is opening its eighth cafe and restaurant this month in the West Yorkshire market town of Skipton.

Over £200,000 has been invested in to the new three floor development by the two and half year old company, which already has six other cafes and restaurants in Yorkshire as well a site at Newcastle Railway Station.

The new healthy eating cafe, situated on Skipton High Street opposite the Town Council offices, has taken over a month to renovate and is providing up to 25 new jobs for the local area.

The company has taken on local Michelin-trained head chef, Marcin Kuc, from neighbouring Addingham, to lead the kitchen.

Filmore & Union will officially open its doors to the public at 8am today (Monday 10 November), serving freshly prepared healthy breakfasts, wholesome lunches, organic coffee and gluten free cakes, as well as fresh juicing and smoothies, all made with seasonal ingredients sourced from local suppliers.
