One of my favourite cafes

This cafe is a proper old school caf and that’s what’s so charming about it. When you’re sitting inside it feels like you’re in your front room, photos of your family members on the wall. The food is AMAZING. Seperate vegan menu with excellent options. The toasties are to die for. The peach iced tea is chefs kiss. The cups they serve the coffee is top tier and the kind of cup I’m here for. The staff are so friendly. The chilli jam and chutney you can buy is amazing but they are definitely undercharging for it. Can’t wait to return. It’s definitely going to be one of my go-to places. Please never close down, thank you x

Pros: Vegan menu lots of options, Size of cups, Homely feel

Great little cafe

This is the kind of place that I enjoy going to when there’s no vegan only place nearby .

They have a great vegan menu with tasty and varied dishes (not just the easy stuff!) and it’s all at a reasonable price.

Location is just by the bus station

Pros: Great selection, Low price , No plant milk premium

Cons: Vegan menu is almost a secret…

Amazing food, vegan menu, 10/10 service

Will absolutely be returning to this hidden delight!
The vegan menu has lots of options, the food we had was incredible and the customer service is even better!
We also met the chef and you could tell how passionate she was about cooking for all needs.
The photos speak for themselves!

Pros: Vegan breakfast, Chilli Jam!, Lovely Staff

Cons: Not open in the evening!

Lovely!

I really liked this place! They have friendly and helpful staff.

Full vegan menu, includes toasties, sandwiches and brunch. The soup is always vegan too which is great!

Offers Oat or Soya milk, there is no extra charge for this with tea or an Americano, but I had a Latte. Nice coffee and nice big cups!

I went for the pancakes with blueberries and maple syrup which was very nice. A vegan pancake option can be quite rare!

Looking forward to visiting again and trying one of the breakfasts or maybe the soup!

They have cakes too but the only vegan option today was an apple and cinnamon scone that I didn't fancy.

Amazing Service

Ruth hosted our monthly vegan meet up for 23 people on a day when she would normally be closed, and put on a dedicated set menu for us with a few different options. The service and food were both amazing, and I can’t recommend Woodchats enough. Her new vegan menu has loads of great options.

Pros: Great service , Delicious food , Very reasonable prices

Good Vegan options

June 2022 ... New 3 page vegan menu, with some favourites and lots of new tasty options 💚😋

Friendly service and tasty, homecooked food.
The soup is lovely and there are Vegan options to eat, including cake and non-dairy milk.
I had butternut squash soup and beetroot & houmous sandwiches. I'll try the 3 bean sausage roll next time.
