Earthlings

We made a special trip to Earthlings to celebrate my mum's birthday with afternoon tea. Having driven for an hour to get to what I'd believed was a vegan establishment, I was disappointed to be offered cows' milk for my tea. The menus are misleading, as each one has the word vegan at the top; vegan establishments do not offer cows' milk!
This aside, the ambiance, decor and staff were lovely and the food was beautifully presented and delicious, if a little pricey...although certainly not 'run of the mill'!

I think the pictures of the food say it all with this place, gorgeous fresh food, absolutely bursting with flavour, and the choice of drinks and desserts, all vegan friendly, was incredible. Card payments accepted, and plenty of parking around the houses at the back if you can't park in the front of the cafe - can't wait to return, well worth the journey!

Earthlings is owned by Hilary Martin, located in the heart of Bromley Cross village near Bolton. Earthlings is not a vegan cafe per se, but specialises in healthy food, that is 100% plant based, made to order using the best ingredients, without refined sugars or additives. Hilary offers Juice Cleanse packages, to suit individual requirements, consultations, life coaching, classes and workshops and Earthlings is available for private functions to hire.

I chose celery soup, avocado and houmous sandwich served with tortilla chips, whilst my husband had the Buddha bowl with cauliflower rice. We both chose Pukka Refresh tea made of fennel, peppermint, rose and liquorice, which certainly lived up to its name.

The dishes were delicious, fresh and packed with flavour and we enjoyed every morsel. Who could resist the dessert menu, I chose the salted caramel slice and OH mango cheesecake, presentation was stunning. I will be reminiscing about my salted caramel slice for a long while to come, as will OH and his cheesecake, how to put into words our thoughts....AWESOME.

Hilary has created an oasis in Bromley Cross, apparent by its popularity and how busy it was, many others think so too. Earthlings is a hop skip and a jump from the rail station and although there is no parking, just a couple of spaces outside, there is off street parking.

Only been once but well worth the travel, lovely food and nice people.

Beautiful, fresh, vibrant food in a cafe that also serves juices. The menu has one soup of the day on the specials board, varied mains choices and fabulous vegan desserts. This is what we have been waiting for!!!!!! Wonderful.

Lovely vegan food very tasty well presented and attention to detail
