Review: great place, nice decor good atomospere. the food lacked vegan options and there seemed to be no way of altering other dishes. i guess that's what you get when a meat eater thinks they can cater for veggies. the food is nice a little confused on flavours but rustic good sized portions. just felt a little let down by lack of choice and adaptablity.
 
Pros: nice decor * good atomosphere *
Cons: disappointing confused menu * lack of helpful staff *

Review: I've always liked Greens, the atmosphere is great, the staff are very friendly and the food is some of the best I've ever had. The only criticism I could have levied at it before was the lack of space. Since they expanded into the shop next door, there has been a big improvement in this, although it is always still very busy. I guess that is the price to pay for popularity! Book well in advance if planning to go.
 
Pros: Fantastic food * Much more spacious since refit * Friendly, helpful staff
Cons: Need to book over a week in advance * Limited choice for vegans *

Review: A very noisy and busy place. Tables very close together - not recommended for intimate meal! Our table was right at the back and I couldn't get out to go to toilet without my partner getting out so I could get past. Food not really that special and tended to be in bulk rather than quality.
 
Pros: fully veggie * *
Cons: noisy * cramped *

Review: Agree with all points made by other reviewers - vegan options were extremely limited, no vegan wines, over-priced and mediocre.
 
Pros: Erm, some vegan options * *
Cons: Limited food * A trek out of town centre *

Review: This is the kind of place where they jam in as many tables as possible and deal with you briskly. I felt uncomfortable checking whether a vegan-sounding main course was vegan, so ordered it anyway. It came drenched in buttery sauce not mentioned on the menu, and my friend wasn't happy. Portions were tiny, we had to get chips on the way home!
 
Pros: pretty street outside * presentation of food *
Cons: £11 for a small main * butter in everything * unfriendly service

Review: I can echo the sentiments of other reviewers. On my visit I was told by a less than knowledgeable waitress that it was "impossible" to make a good vegan dessert.... so they didn't bother.
 
Pros: * *
Cons: Expensive * Not really vegetarian *
