Excellent lunch - Edit
Went here for lunch 2 weeks ago, they have a separate vegan and veggie section so it is clear to see the choices. I had a burger and it was so good, very filling. I would recommend this place and will be back
Pros: Separate section of the menu for veggie/vegans, Good hearty portions, good value for money

delicous - Edit
what's really good about Rivo is that they have a changing menu so i can almost always pick something I've not had before! It would be great if they could start making a larger variety of vegan cakes though. The Vegan Mexican Superbowl was amazing, and their falafel burger is always great.
Pros: friendly staff, large portions , good value
Cons: more vegan cakes please!, sometimes slow

Vegan options. - Edit
The loungers can be a bit of a go to in a new place at times when with omnivores and my dog and no time to look around for options - they are dog friendly and offer some vegan meals. There's not a huge range but what they do is fine, quite tasty pub style food and standard across all their sites. Staff always seem friendly enough too. An ok venue to suit all (including the dogs!).
Pros: Options for all., Dog friendly.
Cons: Vegan options are a bit limited.

We stopped off here on the way from South Wales to London and were pleased that it was open on Easter Sunday. The separate vegan menu was impressive and is arguably as good as some purely vegan restaurants. The restaurant is comfortable, airy and spacious with lots of seating over two floors.
We ordered the falafel salad which was quite small, despite ordering extra falafels, sweet potato fries which were great and the tapas which was also very good. The hummus and guacamole had a home made feel to them and were very tasty.
Downsides are that it's quite expensive and the staff could do with some training regarding which beers are suitable for vegans.
Would definitely return in the future in the absence of a dedicated vegan restaurant nearby.
Pros: Nice, comfortable environment, Good quality food, Decent vegan menu
Cons: Staff could do with training regarding alcohol, On the expensive side

Not vegan but ok... - Edit
Personally I avoid non vegan places lately but when I used to go to Rivo the vegan butternut squash burger was not warm enough but was very nice. I think that burger is now removed from their vegan menu.

Lovely café - Edit
On the High street so I thought it might provide High street (low) quality food, but I was very wrong. Great menu with loads of veggie and vegan choices. I had a delicious haloumi and falafel salad with black quinoa, edamame and roasted squash. Each mouthful was full of those yummy ingredients, not just lots of leaves. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere and great staff.
Pros: Really friendly and helpful staff
Cons: None I observed!
