Before The Woods and Restaurant At The Woods, Luke and Curtis both worked in education. We both had a passion for, and made a career of helping others to reach their full potential and find their individual calling in life. Whilst we found our occupations very rewarding, in 2020 we found ourselves in the situation of many key workers. With a love for a career that was confined by rules and regulations due to the circumstances the pandemic caused.
It was at that time we decided to try something new and create a place that we could share our other passions with the world - caring for nature, inspiring young people and eating great food (we think thats a passion for everyone !). That is when the idea for The Woods coffee shop and cafe was born.
In 2021 we viewed a once tobacconist on Solihull High Street. Clad with mahogany cabinets and a dropped celling. What others may have seen as a huge task we saw an opportunity - The foundations of The Woods.
We have now created a place that we could only dream of. Filled with the beauty of nature (all be it artificial). We have dedicated our business to become a place that people can eat that doesn't cost the earth, both in terms of pounds and pollution. We are by no means perfect or 100% eco friendly, but that is our core value and something that we are always trying to improve upon and hope to become.
Two years into our humble little coffee shop, our dream is beginning to expand. We have just launched our first restaurant, an expansion of our dream !
Like our café, Restaurant at the woods is dedicated to minimising its impact on the planet, filled with natures beauty and a bounty of delicious food, only bigger and more extensive.
Moving forward, we hope that we are able to completely cut our impact on the planet by using some of the methods we talk about on our environment page. We also hope to open multiple restaurants and want to become known as the one place you can go where it doesn't cost the earth.
Behind the leaves, trees and grazing boards is a team (The Woods family). Everything you encounter on your adventure into The Woods has been dreamt up, designed, cooked and built by the very people who serve you. It was so important for us to create an environment that inspires a love for the wilderness for everyone who visits.
At the heart of our business is a passion for the wilderness. We want to create a unique experience that allows people to escape the suburban jungle and find peace in nature (or our version of it anyway). Our mission is to get people of all ages to be excited about the beauty of every aspect of nature, from its wild animals to its changing seasons.
Due to our passion our focus is to make our shop as environmentally friendly as possible which you can learn more about our efforts by clicking the button below

Restaurant at The Woods is an expansion of our much loved coffee shop - The Woods. Following the success of The Woods, the demand for more space for customers and a bigger working space for staff is greater than ever.
Two years after opening The Woods on Solihull High street, we simply are unable to extend our humble coffee shop any further and started work on something new, that would allow us to share our passions even further - Restaurant At The Woods.
As small two young local guys or business owners we thought we would be opening a second coffee shop and had never envisioned anything as exciting as what we have created.
With the help of our wonderful Solihull team, family and friends we have created a restaurant which we believe is unlike anything else in Birmingham. Our restaurant is dedicated to delighting guests, serving exciting new food and managing our global impact as much as possible.
Following the same forest theme of The Woods, our restaurant interior is a lush paradise of towering trees, waterfalls and the sounds of singing birds.
Although much of our interior is artificial (due to hygiene and practicality) our forest is alive, no day is the same as the seasons and weather change all the time.
