So much more than words can transmit

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.

Pros: Amazing food , Wonderful staff , Ethical interior

So good

Amazing to have a place like this! Food was outstanding!
The lobster Mac and cheese was so creamy and the fish and chips were perfect. I will keep coming back here!

Thriving vegan diner

A thriving spot proud to be vegan. Staff were friendly and a pleasant experience all round.
We tried the mooli and smoky bacon, 3D printed salmon and double bacon burger for mains and each dish was delicious! An unfamiliar experience of meaty meals that were thoroughly enjoyed. The salmon tasted just like the real thing despite a slight texture difference! The burger was a little messy to eat but delicious and the mooli was new for us but the smoky bacon made the dish. The side vegetables were crispy and well flavoured.
We also had desserts including the special of sticky toffee pudding, a chocolate torte and a gin and raspberry cheesecake. The cheesecake was especially delicious!

Pros: Delicious food, Non-profit and donations to animal sanctuary, Friendly staff

Go for the carvery!

Really great vegan restaurant. We went for the Sunday carvery and it was so good. Make sure you make a reservation for this though, as it usually gets fully booked.

Pros: Great selection at the carvery, Friendly staff

Cons: A little bit pricey

The best Sunday roast everrrrr

Came here with a friend for Sunday Roast - it's a buffet style with fake meats, mushroom Wellington and nut roast. It also had the most amazing Veggies like Cauliflower cheese, leak and pea gratin. A Yorkshire pudding and gravy!

The revenue goes to an Animal Sanctuary that the 4 owners had created called Surge Sanctuary. They also support The Hackney Gardeners project.

Sooo good and would thoroughly recommend.

Pros: Its a Non-Profit, The creativity of the food

Amazing carvery lunch

Choice of 4 different ‘meats’ as your main, yorkshire pud and many many trimmings. And amazing gravy! Need to be booked in advance. Great spot and a must visit for vegans visiting London! Go there every time I go to London.

Pros: It supports a sanctuary

Top vegan restaurant

This time they had the Redefine Meat we wanted which was delicious with a peppercorn sauce. The tofish bites are awesome with a dill, pickle, and probably mayo sauce. Yum. The vanilla crème brûlée was to die for. Crispy crackling top and divine custard underneath. Yummmmm.

Loads of comfort food options that make you realise you don’t have to miss out on anything when you go vegan.

I visited without a reservation at 5pm on a Sunday to try their new Sunday carvery. They kindly squeezed me in when super busy. The presentation I found a bit lacking as a large buffet and many things were mostly empty. I had to go back for a couple things then which wasn’t ideal. The food was nice and loved the Yorkshire pudding and gravy. I wasn’t crazy about it and probably wouldn’t make the effort to visit again for this. The range on offer is impressive with 5 mains to choose from and loads of unlimited sides. You will not be hungry after for sure! Many options are healthy too like cabbage and peas, turnips, carrots, etc. Nice roast potatoes.

Vegan fish&chips🌱

When in London, you have to eat fish and chips, and of course I had to try the recently reopened Unity Dinner.

I loved the idea of a non-profit restaurant that helps animals at the Surge Sanctuary, and the food is delicious too.

As well as the tofish goujons & chips, we tried the double bacon burger, popcorn chicken and cheesy chips. We were very full afterwards as the portions are big, but the food is excellent, so I would highly recommend it.

Yummy food!

I ordered the New York style hot dog and lobster Mac and cheese for side - it was tasty but the hotdog was not overly hot when it arrived. We were one of three tables in the place at the time so it was no where near busy and could have been hotter. The hot dog was so tasty though. The Mac was average, nothing to shout about but still nice. My partner ordered the 3D steak which was amazing!! I wish I had ordered it and definitely will next time.
We both ordered chocolate torte for dessert and it was completely frozen when it arrived. The servers were super quick to apologise and took these back to the kitchen to replace however it was clear that the new pieces had been put in the microwave or something similar to defrost. Was still tasty though! It was quite a pricey meal and definitely one for a special occasion - I think we spent £80 for the two of us.

Pros: Friendly staff, Nice atmosphere, 3D steak !!!!!! Amazing

Cons: Frozen dessert , Food could have been hotter

Vegan fast food

If you are looking for plant based fast food replacements, this is a great place for you. Too much fried stuff and too little greens for my taste. Also quite one-dimensional in flavour. Lots of oil, salt and pepper.

All in all very good

The food was good, we had the vish and chips and a Caesar salad. The chips were crunchy from the outside and soft from the inside 👌 really good. The vish was also good in my opinion, my companion felt it was a bit too much sea taste (I guess it depends on personal preference). Usually I don’t like Caesar Salad, bc I prefer a more fresh and less fatty dressing, but this one was really nice, of course still a bit fatty, but the fresh kale 🥬 somehow balanced it out for me. The “Helles” beer 🍺 was not how it taste in Germany, but I still liked it a lot 👍👍 The staff was also super nice 😊 we felt comfortable being there.

Pros: Caesar salat, Fries and Vish, Helles 🍺

Cons: Toilets could be cleaner, but wasn’t a mess either

Meh

Updated from 3 to 2 stars after having severe stomachache couple of hours after eating there and also comparing it to all other places we went, this one's just waaaay to expensive.

Nice staff, pretty big portions but way too expensive and nothing special.

Had the popcorn chicken and fish & chips

Popcorn chicken was rather bland and not worth the money.

Fish and chips were good but again too expensive for what it is.

Top notch Sunday roast

Just wonderful to have a vegan carvery and to not have to worry about what you can choose. Ate here with my omni family and all loved it. Just a shame I didn’t have room for dessert! 🌱💚

Pros: Fully vegan carvery , Choices, Friendly and pleasant atmosphere
