Tasty and thoughtful food - Edit
The menu was incredibly creative with a lot of thought gone into the flavour/texture combinations. So much to choose from. The cafe is set in an amazing space, a real feast for the eyes and a must visit for any anarchists out there. We were there a bit too early to experience the very tempting lunch menu, so we had the cooked breakfast, delicious.
Read morePros: The space the cafe is set in is very cool., So much choice and all vegan., The menu changes regularly.
Cons: Far away from where we live.

Restaurant quality food - Edit
We found the venue by following the signs for Rockaway Gardens Irrational Rust. Brilliant.
Read moreWhat was a junk yard still has many wrecks as works of art! It’s a fantastic warren of irreverent, imaginative, and incredible buildings etc and then there is the cafe. There’s outdoor and indoor seating. Inside there is a self service area either pay at the honesty box or if also ordering off the main menus pay for it all at the end with the chef.
There are two menus, brunch and lunch with three of the lunch items changing on a weekly basis. They use unseasoned produce such as Ramsons which was one of the ingredients in my meal.
We had a main meal each plus took as take out for the evening sausage rolls, samosas and cakes.
All the food was delicious and the main meals beautifully presented. Chef is very friendly and helpful. We both loved it here and look forward to returning on a Sunday for the Roast.
Toilets are in a separate block.
Pros: All vegan, The amazing food , Friendly and helpful service

Organic, fresh, & unique - Edit
A seasonal menu made with food mostly grown at Rockaway. All made on site by an expert chef. Highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a unique dining experience with great vegan-only options. The desserts are also incredible.

Really cool place - Edit
Loved my visit here. Tbh, food-wise they have a self-service cafe without much on. I had a carrot cake, which was lovely. However, I believe that they sometimes have Sunday dinner and events, so I'll definitely be back to try them!
Read moreWorth going for the art space alone, though. Really interesting place to go explore!

Delicious food - Edit
Such an interesting place. Worth the visit for the amazing sculptures alone. The food is good and cheap. There isn’t much choice in terms of menu. You get whatever they’ve decided to cook that day. Personally I like that. A nice surprise.

Laid back vegan roast - Edit
Filling plateful of nut roast, potatoes, greens, carrots, and homemade gravy for a tenner each.
Read moreClever remote buzzer system lets you know when your food is served, so you can find a seat and relax or browse the yard full of fascinating old stuff - vehicles, automata, sculptures - and listen to the music. Live music some weekends (check their Facebook page for info). There's also a punk barbershop, screenprint workshop, and stuff for sale.
Really lovely, unusual place.
Pros: All vegan, Lots to see

Great little cafe in a crazy space - Edit
The Green Door cafe has passed on from its original chef to one of the Rockaway crew head honchos. She serves lunch between 12 and 1.30 during the week and another chef does the weekend. At other hours there is a self service tea, coffee and cake option available. The food options change each day. If they are anything as good as the grub we had on the day we passed through then this place should soon be packed out. For a very reasonable price we had a great Thai curry dish that was pleasantly spiced but not hot. The homemade seitan bacon sandwich was top notch too. There was a mint rocky road cake that lacked the chewy bits but tasted great. All In all I wish all the new vegan cafes were this genuine and honest rather than hip and fancy. If you are coming from a distance I would phone to check there is space.
Read morePros: all vegan menu, Affordable and friendly, In an entertaining environment
Cons: A little out of the way!, Could do with a bit more heating when it’s cold.
