Limited options - a standard garden centre cafe.

Had the Vegan Gardner's Breakfast, which was basic yet serviceable. Veg sausage, hash brown bites, mushrooms, beans and toast with spread. Portions were a little frugal, but I suppose the smaller size of the vegan breakfast is reflected in the lower price.

Oat milk was available for teas etc. at no extra cost. Staff were lovely ☺️

There are only 2 other options marked as vegan on the menu: a hummus, beetroot and carrot sandwich; and a mixed vegetable tagine jacket potato.

No vegan options in the cakes and scones department, which is disappointing when they've made the effort elsewhere on the menu. There was a pre-packaged "We Love Cake" tart labelled as vegan, but I don't consider that a genuine accomodation.

Worth noting that the children's menu did not have any vegan options, though I expect they would probably be able to adapt the cooked breakfast and sausage and chips options easily enough.

No gender-neutral toilets, but there is are mutiple accessible loos which are not gender-segregated and do not require a radar key. The baby changing space is not gender-segregated.

I wouldn't recommend it as a destination for vegan food, but if you're in need of a convenient rest stop on the M6 then it would do the job.

Pros: Nice staff, No extra charge for plant milks, Food ok

Cons: Limited vegan options, No vegan cakes/scones etc., No vegan kids options

The only vegan cake/snack option (doesn't count in my personal opinion). at The Topiary Restaurant in Carlisle
