Amazing food and the kindest staff - Edit
Fabulous supper club. Every course was delicious, the staff were very friendly, and the environment was relaxing. Took a pain au choc home to try afterward - it was perfect! I work at a non-vegan bakery where I can no longer eat the pain au chocs so Cradle was a brilliant find. Will definitely visit again.

The best pastries I’ve ever had - Edit
The most delightful all vegan bakery, with wonderful, sustainable lunch options as well as a Friday supper club. Could not recommend this lovely little place enough!!
Read moreCroissants are some of the things I love most in the world and I am in constant search for the best vegan croissants/pain au chocolates etc. I would say these are some of the very very best *ever* - I was blown away. I could not believe how good everything was- already planning my next trip back!!!! I only wish it was open more days of the week!!

Thank you for bringing a piece of France to England! - Edit
I can't give enough praise to the high quality pastries and coffee! The shop was very busy (which is always a great sign) so we weren't acknowledged for a while after arriving.
Read moreWe really enjoyed the food though and it was a wonderful surprise to find another French vegan in such a small village!
It was clear that the produce was so great that all the locals, vegan or not, were enjoying them and supporting the business.

Lovely little gem - Edit
The food looks and tastes amazing. The kitchen is open, so you can watch your food being prepared, and it is clear that they take pride in their dishes. Great selection of drinks, including a home made Kombucha, and a small selection of deli items available to purchase.
Read morePros: Seasonally bespoke, fresh dishes, Friendly staff, Easy to find/parking nearby
Cons: A bit pricey, but treat yourself, it's worth it. , Small menu, but less waste.

Awesome lunch stop - Edit
This is quite a small vegan cafe, seating can be limited. Lunch is really just one option (one starter, main, desert) but there's also cakes and pastries.
Read moreThey apparently do dinner Friday nights but I've not been.
Food was really tasty and the staff were all very good, my only minor complaint was all the plastic plants. A vegan cafe should be all about real plants!
Pros: All vegan, super tasty, Great unique drinks options
Cons: Plastic plants?!

Cosy and tasty - Edit
We visited this lovely little cafe on Saturday breakfast. We found it to be a good level of busy with locals coming to pick up pastries for breakfast and others coming to eat in.
Read moreThe pastries were delicious. We couldn't decide so shared a selection and they were all as good as they looked. They're very filling pastries!!
I'd absolutely come here again. They appear to do all they can to reduce food waste and help the economy/community (eg the chai syrup comes from a company who provides employment to refugees, and their cider is made is made from wasted apple)
Pros: Delicious breakfast pastries , Great ethos, Good atmosphere
Cons: No other breakfast options than pastries
