Some nice vegan options

I had a jacket potato with vegan cheese and beans, can't really go wrong with that. Big portion with a side salad. My girlfriend got the onion bhaji sandwich which was also really good. It was nice sitting out next to the river in the courtyard.

Relaxed and good Facilities

Quite reasonable vegan fare so this is the best place to take my son and his support team when we are in the area. They have good disabled facilities and are endlessly patient with us as we can be noisy. I myself like to come here to chill in the sun with a vegan cake and coffee.

Pros: Cake, Outdoor seating area

Not great but nice location

Lovely place to sit by the river, but they really struggled with four of us ordering sandwiches - they took over 30 mins and 4 attempts to make a vegan sausage sandwich on gluten free bread!

Lovely town hall cafe!

I had the vegan sausage and cheese toasted sandwich (without the red onion chutney) and it was so filling!!! Came with a basic side salad which paired well with the sandwich, though not anything special.
Me and my partner shared the coconut cake with chocolate ganache and it was very yum.

Most of the menu can be made vegan, and all vegan options are clearly labelled.

A good amount of tables including outdoor seating! Really lovely place for a simple lunch!

Perfect for what it is

Had a jacket potato with a bean and roasted pepper chilli.
Very simple food but it was fresh, filling and reasonably priced.

We also had a slice of a vegan coconut and chocolate cake which was delicious!

Pros: Great service, Happy atmosphere , Satisfying, fresh food

Hummus sandwich

Really loved the hummus and veg sandwich with a side salad that they do here. I’ve seen they’ve recently added a vegan sandwich which has falafel and roasted peppers in, too. Just wish there were more options!

Pros: Generous portions, Busy vibe and atmosphere, Lovely views of river

Cons: Lack of options, Somewhat pricey

Nice little cafe, lovely riverside terrace

Good value cafe run by local community charity. Basic but tasty food - vegan salads, soup, sandwiches, jacket potatoes, vegan cheese & cake on the menu with a range of hot, cold and alcoholic drinks (soya milk for tea). All priced a lot cheaper than most of the rest in town & the outdoor riverside terrace is a hidden gem! The cafe also acts as an art gallery for local artists, with a rolling programme of new work/projects, and hosts community groups & evening events.
*Little disclaimer - I used to work there prior to the pandemic, the kitchen is spotless, they use and source local produce/suppliers.

Lovely spot, basic food

I did not choose this cafe myself but was happy to find that they had soya milk for coffees and offered vegan panini, soup and mezze. This is the sort of place that probably didn’t even have soya milk a year or two ago, so I feel it’s good to encourage them by choosing their vegan options.

Pros: Clearly labelled vegan options, Wheelchair and dog friendly , Lovely patio area by they river

Cons: Vegan items lack excitement
