Odd - Edit
Not a huge number of vegan choices on a large menu but I went for the ‘roasted red pepper sandwich with pickled onion, pine nut pesto and oat fraiche’ and confirmed I had no allergies. The sandwich came with no pesto or oat fraiche, but this wasn’t mentioned when it arrived. I basically paid £8.75 for a small salad sandwich. When I queried it, they said they had no oat fraiche and therefore wouldn’t put the pesto on either ‘because of allergens’. I’d already said I had no allergies but asked which allergen they were worried about. ‘Gluten’. It was a wheat bread sandwich. They remade the sandwich with the pesto so it was tastier, but the whole thing was odd and awkward and I wished I’d not done a detour to visit. They took the tea off the bill, but to be honest the tea was fine.

Light and tasty meal - Edit
Sandwiches tasted incredible but could have had something like chickpeas to make more filling and nutritious. I would have also liked more vegan sandwich fillings to be available. Service was fairly quick but waiting for a table can take 30-40 minutes.

Aubergine Schnitzel is delish! - Edit
I had the vegan aubergine schnitzel with new potatoes, rocket, pickled onions, capers, dill and oat milk dressing, and it was really lovely. Light and fresh but satisfying. I’ll definitely have it again. My carnivore father couldn’t believe how pretty and colorful it looked😄
Read moreThey offer oat or soy milk with coffee, though there are lots of speciality teas to choose from.
They also offer a vegan club sandwich with red pepper and mushroom, vegan soup (lentil and sweet potato the day I visited), avocado toast, spinach and avocado salad, and a handful of vegan side dishes.
There are lots of vegetarian options. Most people come for the pastries and afternoon tea, which are vegetarian not vegan. The only vegan cake listed on the menu is a carrot gugelhupf, which looked good. Would have liked to have seen more vegan cakes/desserts as they are easy to offer.
Pros: Quality food, Colorful, interesting options
Cons: Need more vegan mains , Need some vegan more pastries/cakes
