Delicious food in an lovely setting - Edit
There is an option for everyone here whether vegan or not. All the food sounded delicious, but we ordered the pardon peppers, tofu tacos and the mushroom calamari to start and the sfs burger and shrub burger for main. I would definitely just get starters to share next time as they were big and filling.
Read morePros: Something for every one , Outdoor seating option but also lovely inside , Tofu tacos were amazing
Cons: cocktails were a bit expensive

Found by accident - Edit
On reading the menu in the window, didn’t realise at first that everything was vegan. Extensive choice. Personally not keen on pretend meats, but there were plenty of other choices.

Definitely worth a visit - Edit
This place was great! We ate here on a day trip to Chester. It's comfy yet stylish, all vegan and absolutely delicious. We ordered burgers with cole slaw, the fries were super delicious and we would have had some donuts too if we'd had more time. Definitely recommend this place!

Mmmm Broccolini - Edit
Hot chocolate was alright, too bad they ran out of whipped cream.
Read moreSeitan Katsu came with seaweed which I don't eat anymore, the seitan had a thin crispy batter to it, there was not enough of it! Rice was good and the Katsu sauce was alright, more on the sweet side, 3/5 stars
Sunday roast was great, the broccolini was the star, seitan was great along with the parsnip mash, wanted more of it! 4.5/5 stars
SFS burger was really dry, even though the red cabbage kept dripping juice, the leaf (not the red cabbage) was really dry too, almost waxy.....the buns were crispy on the outside, and it's quite thick compared to the super thin crispy seitan, due to the buns, it made biting into it awkward. Only highlight really was the seitan cutlet and the fries (although too short and bitsy/ stubby) along with the cheese/mayo (?) dip, 2.5/5 stars
Restaurant is lovely, great location, good staff.

Best vegan place I've visited - Edit
I visited this venue last May and wasn't disappointed. I had had the intention of visiting other venues during my long weekend stay in the city, but Shrub was so good that I returned the following day. The menu has so much choice that it makes for a very difficult decision.
Read morePros: Loads of choice , Reasonably priced , Food delicious
Cons: Too much choice - need a longer city visit!

Fantastic Food! - Edit
We've wanted to visit Shrub for ages and a spontaneous visit to Chester meant we could finally go! Well worth it - the food was amazing and we've definitely got to come back for the 'Shrub Roast' which looked amazing. Great choices; really tasty and the portion sizes were spot on. Every member of staff was friendly and helpful too and we've already started planning our next trip.

Tasty dishes, seasonal menu - Edit
Super tasty dishes (the cauliflower bites should not be missed) with a regularly changing menu. We have brought a few meat eaters here and they have always loved it.
Read moreMost mains contain meat-replacement ingredients (beyond burger or seitan), so good for "meat lovers", but some mains are veggies only. Some of the mains have been smaller than others in the past.
Pros: Tasty dishes, Menu that changes regularly, Interesting drink options
Cons: Some (not all) mains can be a bit small, A bit pricier than other places

Lovely meal - Edit
All of the food at shrub was delicious. I rarely have three courses for dinner but I couldn't resist here. I had the flatbread for the main course and it was so good! There is a huge choice and service is excellent too.
