Falafal salad on specials

Vegan cheese, spread and rolls could be switched. Vegan soup was tomato, but I went for the falafal salad on special for £8.50.

Pros: Vegan special quite good

Cons: Limited vegan choice

No vegan options

Based on reviews we came here for around 11am, parked in the main Lulworth Cove car parking without realising it cost £10 for 4 hours. Checked the menu and there were no vegan options, and minimal vegetarian options. Gave it two stars as there were at least some options, but there is definitely not any English breakfasts on the menu now!

No longer much choice

Does have vegan cheese, soup and a flapjack but otherwise there wasn't any other choice on the menu now.
Does have plant milk

Unexpected vegan friendly spot

I didn’t expect much in such a small touristy spot, but this place had several vegan things on the menu, including a full cooked breakfast and a fishless finger bap. The bap came with fries and salad, which was good as the bap itself was literally just fishless fingers and bread (apparently English people like plain fish finger sandwiches like that - but I was able to add sauce and salad to mine).

Pros: Vegan options well marked on menu, Nice food, though not the most flavoursome , Nice service

Disappointing due to reduced menu

Due to a staff shortage, Finley’s were running a reduced menu when I visited, which I totally understand. However the only vegan option was soup, which was okay. Nothing special. I get that lots of places are having issues and need to do what they can, but was disappointed that the vegan options bore the brunt of it.

Pros: One of few places in Lulworth with a vegan option

Watch the rooks while you enjoy your vegan meal.

We had a fish sandwich, which came with chips and a small, fresh, tasty side salad and a little paper pot of mayonnaise.
The staff are friendly and the local rooks are entertaining.
Handy local choice if you're visiting Lulworth Cove, walking the coastal path or staying in West Lulworth.
The ice cream parlour next door serves plant based options, too.

Pros: The 'fish' sandwich came with vegan mayo, Friendly staff

Cons: No spread on the 'fish' sandwich

Nice, convenient little cafe

Nice little cafe by the car park, indoor & outdoor seating. Not huge amount of option’s: breakfast, burger, soup
& sausage baguette. Cheese burger was nice, lots of mayo/salad but I am just not mad about the bean/potato/veg kind of burger.

Cons: Only few options

Delicious chips and mushy peas!

Had chips and mushy peas here one evening sat outside in the sunshine. Lovely little stop off before venturing along the coast and taking in the cove views. Also serves veggie burgers.

A few vegan options

My husband enjoyed the vegan burger and I had the soup of the day which was delicious, and I believe the soup is always vegan.

Lunch stop

Although there aren’t many options I was impressed with the veggie burger. Seems to be made of beans and other veggies. Unfortunately the chips are not vegan but the burger was enough for me.

Pros: Yummy food, Right next to the beach , Quick service

Cons: Not many options, No vegan chips

Perfect lunch spot

Typical seaside cafe / bistro offering a good variety of vegan options located in the heart of the main tourist attraction. Food is not high end gourmet but highly appreciated at the end of your hike along the coastline. We paid £24 for 2 x fishless fingers baps (that came with crisps and salad), 1 x bowl of chips, 1 x mushy peas, 1 x curry sauce, 2 x 500ml cold drinks.

Pros: Menu clear about what is vegan and what isn’t , Staff is very much aware of vegans needs, Good portion size

Cons: Vegan options are not on the main menu, Some menu items are confusing / need clarification, Had to wait 30+ mins to be served

Yummy Vegan Options

Was surprised to find amazing vegan options on our walk Durdle Door to Lulworth Cove. I got the vegan fishless finger bap, which was delightful, and my hubby got the vegan spicy bean wrap. Worth a visit!

Pros: Yummy Vegan Options , Unique beverages

Surprising find!

Great café with broad selection of vegan choices displayed on billboard outside. Did not expect to be eating vegan fishfingers in a bap in Lulworth! Vegan breakfast served until 12pm; vegan burgers, falafel wrap, jackets with vegan cheese - yum!

Pros: Broad selection of dishes, Tasty-looking vegan breakfast, Outdoor seating available

Cons: Take your own vegan mayonnaise/salad cream!

Okey

Food is okey. Haven't even expected any vegan options in this small place. So i was impressed. But it's not the best i ever had.

Pros: nice people

Nice but not amazing

The food there was fine, but it wasn‘t anything to be amazed by. The staff was really friendly though, so it‘s a nice place to stop by if you‘re really hungry.

Not so fast Fast food

I was glad to see this listing right next to the Lulworth cove.

However, the food was disappointing. They didn't have the vegan curry available anymore. The waitress was helpfull in looking for vegan alternatives. It was a very busy summer day but they were clear on the waiting time (20min).
We got a white baguette with vegan cheese, a bun with vegan fish fingers and a falafel wrap for the 2 of us. It was quite heavy and bland. The food came with salad and crisps but the bit of salad contained a lot of raw onion including the stem.

Pros: gives options at a remote location, know the meaning of vegan

Cons: not so tasty, no healthy options
