So much more than words can transmit - Edit
One of the ultimate stand out vegan places I’ve ever been to in my life. The three of us had their famous £22 Sunday Roast extravaganza each selecting a different meat (roast chicken, lamb and turkey). You are also provided with a Yorkshire Pudding then it’s self-service vegetables and all the usual trimmings such as sauces, stuffing and lashings of gravy. I had a bit of everything, piled my plate high then proceeded to devour the whole feast with a pint of their delicious Posh Lager overlooking Petticoat Lane Market. Not a bad way to spend an early Sunday afternoon before hitting The Oval for some T20 cricket action.

Outstanding Roast! - Edit
Possibly the best vegan roast I have ever had. I went with the braised lamb, Yorkshire pudding, and all the trimmings. So much flavour in everything and extremely satisfying. This was followed by sharing the salted caramel cake, which is delish! I cannot wait to come back to London just to come to Unity Diner.

The staff is very sweet and friendly. The restaurant has options to donate directly to charity via the menu. Original menu. I had the double bacon burger with vegan gouda cheese and the cheesecake for dessert. The cheesecake is to die for!

10/10 Sunday roast - Edit
After seeing so much on instagram about unity diner, we had to go for Sunday lunch during our visit to London.
Read moreOh my god, it was devine.
The veg choice was amazing (no plain boring boiled veg) and the cracking was amazing. We had the chicken and lamb. The lamb was good but the chicken was amazing.
If you are wondering whether to give this place a try, don’t hesitate, book a table. You will not be disappointed.

4.5* - Very Good - Edit
Very pleasant spot with excellent choices, even if the menu isn’t massive. Just a shame you’ll be paying >£20 for a burger and chips but that’s London I guess!

Great: fast food with a healthy twist. - Edit
The menu has developed over the years. They still have the fast food theme and some of the classics (tofish is legendary and must be tried). There’s a healthier twist to some of their dishes (octopus on a pumpkin puree).

Go-to for really indulgent food - Edit
Any vegan in London has to go and try Unity Diner at least once (you’ll wanna come back anyway).
Read moreLots of guilty pleasures and so so good. Some of our favorites are their hot dog and Unity Döner but there’s also a ton we haven’t tried yet during our many visits.
The absolute highlight for me personally though is always the dessert. The menu changes frequently and whenever I thought I’ve had the best dessert ever they surprise me with a new creation.
Super friendly staff too and part of your bill goes towards an animal sanctuary. It can’t get any better. 💚

Cool space, fresh food - Edit
Great atmosphere and wide ranging menu. Got the calamari chips, Caesar salad, and a scoop of the soft serve ice cream, which was honestly the stand out. Good quality and good portions, but wasn't personally blown away the way other reviews were. Pretty on par with other decent vegan restaurants I've been to, but definitely worth checking out.

Will Not Disappoint! - Edit
I was excited to finally try Unity Diner, and
Read moreI can happily say it lived up to the hype! Judging by other reviews it can get busy, but we were lucky to get there at a quiet time in the afternoon when only a handful of other people were there.
The staff who were working were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and made sure we were well looked after during our stay.
The establishment itself is beautifully decorated with artworks on the walls, and there is merchandise available to purchase, with proceeds going to Surge Sanctuary. It is obvious that equally as much care has gone into creating a rather extensive menu, featuring many English favourites. They also cater to everyone - plenty of gluten-free options and non-alcoholic drinks. I've had my sights set on the Tofish & Chips for a long time and it was even better than I'd hoped for. I would say that meals were fairly priced; the large plates are a bit more expensive, but they come in rather large portions.
Definitely give Unity Diner a go if in London, you won't be disappointed!
Pros: Sustainable, non-proft, Super lovely staff, Wheelchair accessible

Will come back again! - Edit
I got the garlic greens and the steak and chips with peppercorn sauce, and a vegan propaganda. I also tried some of Purp's chimichurri new potatoes, pan seared cod fillet, chunky fries with garlic aioli, and whiskey sour.
Read moreThe garlic greens were delicious. Very garlicky, and I could have happily eaten more.
I was a little bit disappointed with the steak. The texture was good, but it just tasted salty to me. Steak was my favourite food before going vegan so I had very high hopes, but unfortunately I was a little let down. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't what I was hoping for. I also wasn't into the peas, they were tough and I felt that they didn't go with the rest of the meal. The chips and peppercorn sauce were delicious though and I was stuffed after it.
The vegan propaganda was nice and tangy, although the smell and taste reminded me a little of a new car. (Edit: after seeing the receipt I realise that this is because I was actually served the version with alcohol which is Vegan Propaganda 2.0. I don't drink alcohol often as I find the taste overpowering so a lot of alcohol tastes like window cleaner to me, hence the "new car" taste that I mention above.)
The chimichurri new potatoes were very nice and tasted exactly as I expected.
The pan seared cod was amazing! Crispy and fishy, if I get to come back I will get that for my main meal. However, Purp didn't find it to be very filling, which is why they also ordered chips and garlic aioli. The garlic aioli was amazing! I could have drank it! It was incredibly garlicky without being spicy or overpowering, I wish I could buy a jar of it!
The whisky sour was nice. I don't drink much alcohol as I find the taste of it overpowering, but the whisky taste in this was nicely hidden. I would definitely order one of these myself if I came here again.
My main complaint is that the menu is accessed by scanning a QR code, however when I scanned it, it didn't work for me. Luckily it worked for Purp so I was able to look at theirs. I'm not sure if they have physical menus available, I didn't see any.
Overall it was very nice, a bit expensive but that's to be expected. I would definitely recommend it!

Unity diner, you wowed me. This is FAR beyond the usual vegan roast that you can get these days.
Read moreThis place is also going above and beyond when it comes to vegan activism and making it easy to be a vegan 🌱 💚
My personal highlight were the pigs in blankets, the vegan Yorkshire, the leek gratin and the cauliflower cheese as they are usually so hard to find and it all taste excellent.

Yum dinner - Edit
I wanted to try their Sunday carvery/ Xmas carvery but ended up going on a regular evening and had a very tasty dinner of Tofish coujons, chips, peas and sauce. YUM. My mate had the soy free hot dog and loved hers too. We both had our eye on the sticky toffee pud was way way too full sadly! Next time!

A must visit for Vegans - Edit
I went 3 days in a row while on a recent trip to London and have been many times over the years. The food is great, good portion sizes and staff are always friendly. The Sunday carvery buffet is amazing with many choices and it's difficult not to leave absolutely stuffed. It is very popular, so better to book in advance.

Good experience - Edit
We came to Unity Dinner after many years to try the vegan carvery. The food was ok, parsnips and carrots were hard and we couldn’t eat them. We would have liked more generous meat portions and a couple of smiles from staff but appreciate everyone can have an off day and the restaurant was very busy. Overall a good experience.

Cons: Minimum vegan meat , Hard parsnips and carrots

Meh - Edit
Slightly disappointed.
Read moreThe server at the carvery gave me a small portion of vegan meat, the vegetables were hard and cold and I couldn’t cut them- for £22 I expected better. Also the staff weren’t the friendliest to us- this is unfortunate as I’ve always been a supporter of Ed and his work.
Cons: Tiny meat portion , Vegetables hard , Vegetables cold

Very yum, nice vibe - Edit
Been meaning to try UD for ages and finally went at the random hour of 4pm for a hot chai and a snack. Personally, the whole menu is not my style at all, very fast foody. I chose the chai latte and donner chips. The chai was one of the yummiest I’ve honestly ever had, and the chips were really yum. Will def come back, but would loveee to see some healthier things on the menu, soups, curries, stir fry - just something a bit fresh! The service was stun but the food took ages to come out, which is why it’s a 4/5 not 5/5.
Read morePros: Chai with honeycomb syrup 😍, Friendly staff

A Happy Cow find strikes gold again. Wonderful vegan food at Unity Diner. Quiet Friday lunchtime, Doner loaded fries, and a bacon cheese burger. Cool interior - a glowing sign saying ‘The Future is Vegan’; I wholeheartedly hope & agree.
