Non-veg cafe on the top floor of theGeorge Fisher outdoor equipment shop. Meals are not suitable for vegans but has a vegan date slice and provides plant milk for drinks. Reported closed March 2024.
Readers may be wondering why I submitted the café given that all it has for vegans at present is a date slice and soya milk. My reasoning was as follows.
1. The date slice is very tasty.
2. The date slice is very big!
3. The staff almost fall over themselves to help you, running downstairs to get soya milk and apologising profusely because the little free biscuits aren't vegan. They really seem to want to give diners the best experience so if more vegans turned up there might be more provision for us.
In other news, there is a view of the fells from the back window (though slightly obscured by fire escapes and condensation) and this is an interesting old building where you can buy all the outdoor gear your purse can accommodate. One warning: watch out for the open railings at the edge of the mezzanine; my mother leant her walking stick against them and watched in horror as it plunged through the gap and down to the floor below, narrowly missing innocent shoppers.

Nothing to eat for vegans - Edit
Very apologetic but absolutely nothing to eat for vegans. Friendly and they did have soya milk.

Pros: Very friendly staff, that date slice!, nice location
Cons: Not much for vegans yet, up two flights of stairs
