Great place for a light lunch and walk - Edit
We enjoyed our lunch at Madhyamaka Kadampa Meditation Centre and lunch at their World Peace Cafe. My partner and I had the soup of the day, which was a warning lightly spiced lentil soup, which came with bread and spread, plus shared a roasted veg panini between us. Options are limited, however, it's a very small cafe, mostly run by volunteers I believe, but a perfect light lunch. None of the fresh cakes were vegan, but they might be able to order/make some of you are staying/attending a course. The grounds are vast and beautiful, so a lovely place to spend some time.

Peaceful and relaxing - Edit
Visited the grounds and cafe today and enjoyed a delicious vegan scone with a soya milk latte. The menu was fully vegetarian with some vegan options. Sat outside and enjoyed lovely countryside views.

Nice little place with limited but reasonable options. - Edit
Vegan panini (vegan cheddar, tomato, herbs) and a sweet coconut curry for £6.50

A previous review said there was no vegan panini, so either they listened or the menu rotates (it's on blackboards).
Pros: Very fair price, Peaceful area, Bflies & wasps feeding on windfall plums - photo!
Cons: Wasps outside!

Nice environment but limited vegan food - Edit
This is local to me and I have visited several times. The vegan food choice has become more limited over time and the last time nothing was available. Peaceful surroundings and drinks available but if you want food it's probably worth phoning first to check.

Not much for vegans - Edit
There was only soup, bread and rocky road that was suitable for vegans. Disappointing but at least there was something. Would be good if they did a vegan panini.

Worth a visit - Edit
A great little cafe set in the peaceful rural surroundings of the Madhyamaka Buddhist Centre. Run entirely by volunteers.
Read moreReasonable range of light snacks on offer. 100% vegetarian with some vegan choices. Some home baked vegan cakes available when volunteers are available to bake them.
Cosy log fire during the winter.

Lovely cafe, warm atmosphere - Edit
I've eaten here a few times now. The range of vegan foods is not as wide as I would like (there are no vegan cakes for example), but there is always at least a baked potato with hummous or a hummous wrap. Last week the veggie chilli was also vegan (although the garlic bread that it came with was not). The coffee is good and vegan chocolate bars (not homemade ones unfortunately!) are on sale.
Read moreThe cafe is popular and often busy but I've always been able to get a seat, often by the warm stove.
Pros: Nice location, Warm and Cosy, Nutritious food
Cons: Not enough vegan selection, restricted opening hours
