Cheap & good vegan food

Firstly the food is really good, vegan pub food. Things like Sausage, chips and gravy, burgers and a selection of curries are well done and it's nice to get unpretentious vegan food in nice, normal pub.

Secondly the everything, from the food to the booze is dirt cheap. There's several pints for less than £2, you easily get a meal and starter for less than a fiver. Everytime I come here i'm once again taken aback at how cheap everything is. Mega recommended.

Pros: mega nice, mega cheap, mega awesome

Friendly pub with good grub (and beer!)

We visited this evening with non-veg family. We were impressed with the huge range of all-vegan starters, mains, and especially desserts. Between us wevtried the chilli (yum), veg curry (yum yum) , veg burgers (yum yum yum) and something else that I can't remember the name of - but it was yummy anyway...
Butterscotch cake, choc cake and cherry sorbet completed the set (and left us all very full). They ran out of tofu for one of the mains, but told us promptly and offered a free spring roll (yum) as compensation.

It took a few minutes to order because there was just one person behind the bar, but he was very friendly and helpful, and service was speedy once our order was in. Everyone was impressed and we plan to return very soon!

Pros: huge range of homemade pub grub , friendly service and atmosphere, amazingly cheap

If only all pubs were like this one.......

So strange to come from the capital with its hundreds of veggie outlets and thousands of vegans and find an all vegan pub in the middle of nowhere (well ok .... Glossop Derbyshire!) Why isn't there one of these here in Hackney? Great pub food, not a lot of greens but plenty of flavour. And Puddings! and loadsa really good home made ice creams! It made me think that Happy Cow should have an "app" that allows you to put your journey start and end into the site and it then suggests all the vegan friendly places en route! Anyways support the Globe!

Yes please!

Forget the meat substitute dishes (boring...) and go straight for the chickpea curry and the parsnip chips. And the chips. Oh and the pilau rice. I kept talking about the pilau rice for days. Absolute winner, dead cheap (most dishes were around 2-4 pounds), huge selection, nice atmosphere and really friendly staff. It was quite busy when we went (Sunday evening), but we managed to squeeze onto a small table anyway.

Definitely worth the trip to Glossop, or combine it with a hike up Kinder Scout which is absolutely glorious!

Pros: tasty food, super cheap, big choice

Cons: can be busy

Vegan Pub Food!

I'm from Glossop originally and my folks still live there so I always try to get a meal in the Globe when I'm down that way.
It's ridiculously cheap, and so are the drinks. It is possible to get a main course and a drink for under a fiver.
The chickpea curry seems to have gained somewhat legendary status amongst Glossopians. Even my meat-eating mates will go there just for the curry and the accompanying rice alone is amazing.
The chips are hand fried so they taste like proper chips. As it should be!
I've also had the chilli-deluxe in there which is very tasty and the casserole which is lovely too. But I'll always go back to the curry....mmmmmmm
If you are planning to visit then please remember that this is a pub in a small market town, not a fancy restaurant or a Manchester city-centre bar. You sit at pub tables in the pub, which gets busy during the evenings. If you go in the daytime it is nice to sit in their beer garden, which is lovely in the summertime. I wouldn't recommend sitting out there in the evening as it gets crowded with smokers.
However, it's a really friendly place and there is often live music on. They don't allow any idiots in either. It's the kind of place you can go on your own and just start chatting to the people on the table next to you. You can get a main meal or just a snack--they do samosas etc. if you just want to nibble (or if you get the beer munchies!)

Pros: great value for money, friendly, chickpea curry!

Cons: none

The Globe, Glossop

I went here on Monday for the first time with 4 people who have given me massive recommendations re this place.

The place is a pub of the variety that does guest beers and the like. There is a food menu in there and everything to eat is vegan veggie. The prices are also budget friendly.

As a first timer there and with so much to choose as a vegan, I ordered a samosa and a spring roll for a starter. Both were fine. I then had the veggie steak and mushroom casserole type dish with chips and this too was fab (the chips even by them self are great). I then had a chocolate cake with ice cream for dessert.

Interestingly to drink there was some vegan fruit wine available at the bar so I gave that a try also.

I thoroughly enjoyed the lot, even more so at the bargain prices charged. The place itself is a pleasant enough boozer with a relaxed and friendly vibe.

I read the prev reviews on happycow before I went and noted the comment someone made about the loo. I asked the ladies in the group I was with what the ladies loo was like and they told me that it was fine. I went to the gents and I'm not saying by any means that it is the swankiest loo that I've ever been in. It was though no different from what I would expect iin a pub of this type. It was a unanimous agreement in the group of 5 people that I was with that the previous review where the Globe was marked down to 2 out of 5 because of the loo is grossly unfair.

Glossop is also nice little town in the hills if that is your thing. The Globe is approx a 5 min walk from the train station and passes a health food shop on the way should that be useful.

I'd be delighted to eat here again.

Pros: 100% vegan vego, Great food, Bargain prices

I love the idea that this pub is al Vegan and the food is really cheap. I was disapointed though specifically with the Noodle dish. My main concern was the stae of the toilets, they looked like they had not been cleaned for some time.

Great value vegan food

I completely agree with the other reviewer. Yummy vegan staples in a homely real ale bar. Perfect!

Pros: value, beer, hills nearby

Cons: can be really smoky
