Old school veg

Old school vegaterian is an amazing place to eat, the staff are very friendly and kind the environment is vibrant. I love the choices in the menu I always order the milkshakes very fresh and tastey, I tend to have a mix of starters as I love trying a mixture of things and followed by Mains. The food tastes amazing and very fresh and presented with perfection. I would definately be coming back.

Pros: Brilliant menu , Excellent quality food , Lovely staff and environment

Tricked into eating cow's milk cheese instead of Vegan

Now this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down.
And I'd like to take a minute,
Just sit there tight,
I'll tell you my horrific dining experience last Tuesday night.

In West London Borough of Hounslow there's
A restaurant whose manager gives no cares
To vegans or humans or animals too,
All making their patrons feel like absolute poo.
When my sis and I, we just wanted some food,
The manager started making trouble in my vegan-hood.
I ordered a cheese quesadilla - the vegan kind;
But instead was served cow cheese which blew my mind.

I whistled for her over and when she came near,
I asked, "Are you sure this cheese is vegan, my dear?"
She spent 30 minutes saying, "Don't worry, it's vegan!
If you get sick tomorrow, come sue me, we'll be even."

I left the restaurant at about 7 or 8
Feeling ill and horrified about what I just ate.
Turns out they lied and served me cow's milk cheese.
SO STAY AWAY FROM THIS RESTAURANT, I BEG OF YOU PLEASE!!!

Pros: None, None, None

Cons: Served a vegan cow's milk cheese, Restaurant manager refused to admit to the cow's m, Lack of integrity and accountability

Sadly, a terrible choice

We went here based on good reviews and were super excited that finally there was a veggie / vegan place not too far from us. Got there about an hour and a half after it opened and it was only us and two other customers. It still took an hour for only some of our starters to come out even though they'd been open for ages nothing was prepped... After waiting for an hour we were told they don't have half of what we ordered. We waited even longer for drinks (2 hours) and we had already asked twice...only to be told they don't have some of those either! Why we were not told this earlier still baffles me and why half the menu was unavailable at a quiet time is also baffling. They waited to tell us crucial info after hoursss and they had to check two or three times before coming back to give us an answer on whether they had items or not. Didn't even apologise for serving others their drinks whilst we were still waiting for ours and then didn't apologise when they didn't have some of the drinks we ordered. Then we were told their system was down however our order was written out so there's no excuse and others got drinks and food quite quickly after they'd arrived. We remained understanding and patient but the last straw was payment. As soon as we asked for the bill (we been there for hours now) only then we were told cash only! Plus the food was overly sweet and nothing like the website showed! They also claim certain wraps are healthy and when they arrived they were greasy. They also advertise organic ingredients. They had two organic sodas, not organic food so very misleading. Never been so shocked or disappointed with a restaurant experience. We usually have a blast trying new vegan joints.

Veg*n Junk Food

I'm all for health food, but sometimes when I eat out I like a bit of fast/junk food and this is just the job. The (bean) burger and chips were delicious. But the best of all was the almond (vegan) milk(soy)shake which was worth every penny of the fiver it cost.

You can eat healthily here, but you can do that at every other veg*n restaurant. Go on, treat yourself.

It's nice inside if fairly quiet on the Thursday evening I was there. The staff were friendly. It's all reasonably priced.

Pros: Almond milkshake, Tasty food, Good service

Cons: Plastic straws

delicious burgers and shakes

Have been here a few times and it never disappoints.
Loads of burgers and wraps to choose from and the milkshakes are well worth getting.

food wasn't great

Went there in 2016
We were Overcharged
Staff ignored us
Food wasn't nice
Except the fries
The side salad was only 2 slices of tomato and a few spinach leaves. I don't remember the price but it was a shock

Don King (drools)

for anyone who loves seitan / fake vegan meats - this don king burger is the ultimate bbq burger you want to try. It has everything you crave for in a burger, plus they serve vegan milkshakes! i have now visited the place 3 times, and it been brilliant every time. Rock on Old School.

Pros: yum yum yum

Cons: don king and milkshakes are the best, rest is meh.

Great variety of VEGAN meals.

Working away from home can always be difficult to accommodate for the VEGAN diet. However, the old school vegetarian restaurant came to the rescue. Most of the burgers and wraps are already vegan or can be made vegan friendly which was amazing. Great variety of vegan starters although I went for the Quesadillas which was really good and cooked to perfection. I then had the supreme bean burger which was fresh, full of flavor and possibly up there with one of the best vegan burgers I have tried to date. Great experience overall, friendly and welcoming staff and will definitely be revisiting anytime i am in the area. (VEGAN MILKSHAKES available also - will definitely have to try one of these next time.)

Pros: Fresh and full of flavor, Clean and welcoming environment, Friendly staff

friendly service and tasty good

Super friendly and helpful staff. We had the southern chicken wrap, the don wrap and the southern burger. All came with a side of coleslaw and a choice of either salad, fries or tortilla chips. They made all vegan for us.

This could easily help me give up meat!

I love this place! Great menu, drinks and food. Staff really friendly and the venue is really cool too. The menu is a mixture of dishes from around the world. The ingredients are fresh and organic and the dishes really tasty and flavourful. I am a total foodie and it is pretty obvious that this a place that is run by people who not only love food but want to share some of the best dishes I have had in a very long time - all without meat.

Most definitely coming back for more!

Vegan Feast

As a vegan it's incredibly difficult to eat out as the range and quality of food available in general is poor. Old School is a great resturant for meeting this need of healthly plant based foods. The resturant, service and food is all top notch.

Pros: food, good vibe

Delicious and friendly!

It's not often that you can find a vegatarian restaurant where the food is tasty, leaves you full up AND has a friendly service - Old School is all that!! There are a range of dishes to choose from (Paneer starter, followed by Catch of the Day is a winner) and an immense milkshake bar and other non-alcoholic drinks. Service is efficient and with a smile, staff go out of their way to help make your visit a pleasant one. Even with a little one who screamed for a few minutes they were helpful and provided an off-menu snack to quieten her down! Our new regular food place, give this place a try and you won't regret it!

Pros: Tasty dishes, Helpful staff, Positive atmosphere
