• Not To Be Missed A Vegan Chef Cooking Great Vegan Options

I was dying to try their Sunday Vegan Hangover, a perfect end to a day spent exploring the Makers Market in the Northern Quarter. I have been following vegan chef Charlie Hadley on Twitter and although The Deaf Institute is a not a vegan establishment, she has introduced a huge selection of vegan dishes and it gives me comfort being catered for by a fellow vegan. My husband ordered vegan roast of the day and I opted for the seitan burger. The roast dinner was huge and would cure any hangover with the best ever Mac 'n Cheese as a side dish. My burger was excellent with lots of added bit like homemade cashaw cheese & aubergine bacon. We shared both desserts, a chocolate brownie bowl, very much like a chocolate fondant, with soft Italian baby meringues and an ice-cream parlour bowl. They were lush and far flung from boring fruit salad or fruit platter, which sadly can be the norm. What a great place, service from everyone was warm and welcoming. They are hoping to increase their vegan options and currently have vegan options on their Christmas party menu, which would appeal to groups and works outings, where vegans are sometimes an after thought, but not here. We are so lucky to have places like this, wish I had somewhere like this to go to, back in the day.
