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.

Great food, inexperienced staff - Edit
We went for the brunch menu, and only after ordering were told that they were out of chicken (so, half of the savoury menu). So we had two coffees and two full English breakfasts.
Read moreThe coffee took quite a long time but both were very nice (latte and cappuccino).
The food took even longer, but was worth the wait - absolutely outstanding. Good solid portion size, scrambled tofu egg was great. Honestly cannot fault the food.
The Staff however had their backs to the restaurant for the vast majority of the time we were there, and the people on the table next to us got very aggy as their table wasn't cleared for about 20 minutes, despite the place being only at about 1/4 capacity.
Overall we will definitely be coming back, but the staff really need a bit more training / to be more attentive. I feel bad leaving less than 5 stars but honestly it's not constructive just to leave five stars for the sake of it. I really really hope this place does well, and commend the cause.
Pros: Incredible food, Good portion sizes , Wonderfully decorated
Cons: Inattentive staff

Good but could improve - Edit
I was soooo excited to eat there that my partner and I ordered loads of food! We had the fried mixed plate: seitan bites, tofish fingers, onion rings and cauliflower wings. Most of it tasted samey and wasn’t salty enough but the seitan was delicious. For mains we had the steak and the moving mountains burger. The steak was tasty but nothing special (quite a small portion too) and the moving mountains burger was great - if you like the actual taste of beef. I was a little freaked out. Would be nice to get fries with the burger. Also had the brownie - it was ok, the ice cream however was out of this world. I did think the dishes were way too expensive for what you get but knowing all profits go to a vegan cause made it feel less like a rip-off. Hopefully the food will improve over time, they have only just opened so I assume they are still figuring things out. Staff were lovely though!

So glad to have found this place, I had a toasted sandwich and it was one of the most delicious things I've ever had. The artwork on the wall was awesome and I love the purpose it has. I was incredibly jealous of the burger a couple of tables away so excited to try that next time!

great experience - Edit
Went for the second time today, had the loaded sweet potato fries, 2 of the burgers, cauliflower wings and for desserts the pie and a cheesecake. Everything was delicious! The staff was really attentive. And the best part is the non profit concept. Definitely one of my top 3 favourite places in London

The best birthday treat!! - Edit
Went without making a reservation but the guys were kind enough to seat us anyway within 2 minutes
Read moreHad a browse of the extremely well planned menu and went for the Chicken SEITAN Burger and Full English breakfast and IT BLEW OUR MINDS!!
The breakfast sausage is some Godblessed-seitan wonder which is better than any sausage replacement I have ever had and the burger is really well seasoned and PACKED with all the good stuff!
I was hesitant regarding the pretzel buns initially but they work perfect with the meal
Staff so kind and helpful I wanna just hug everyone and thank them for an amazing experience!
Will come back ASAP!
Not to mention did not even realise Earthling Edd is responsible for this heavenly feast! He was one of the people who helped me so much at the beginning of the journey.
Pros: All the seitan!, Lovely staff, Amazing artwork and atmosphere
Cons: NONE

The food is delicious and they have some really interesting options on their menu. The staff is so lovely and there is a nice, relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant. We loved the decor as well, and the vibe of this place. Also, it's great that all their profits go to animal rights organisation. I'll definitely be back 😊

Fantastic - Edit
If I lived closer I’d honestly be here every week! The food was amazing, even though on the day I visited their fridge was broken meaning limited food options. What I did order was SO tasty- 10/10! They’d also ran out of ketchup?! But that didn’t spoil my visit at all. I ate so much that I was too full for a pudding, so I’ll definitely be back as I want to try the cheesecake.

Don’t waste your money - Edit
The food is bland, greasy and practically cold. Such a let for a good concept.

When I went I also noticed that although there were many waiters, service was slow and not efficient. Waiters were just hanging around not knowing what to do. I agree that the food was not good though it looked good.

Bit disappointing - Edit
We went on Friday lunch time and the service was pretty dire. Not sure what was happening in the kitchen but people who arrived more than half an hour after us had actually eaten and left before we even got our main courses. The food was OK - but not having any gluten-free burger buns despite the Surge burger being listed as a gluten-free option isn't great.
Read moreI know it's only recently opened, so I hope to go back in a month or so and update my review more positively.
Pros: Really nice decor and atmosphere
Cons: Such a long wait for food, Gluten-free options not great
