Great vegan options

This is a fantastic example of a non vegan place basically allowing anything on the menu to be ordered vegan. They have vegan cream - so all creamy pasta can be made vegan. You can add and minus any ingredients off any dish. So you can replace non vegan items for vegan versions!
I was able to get my favourite creamy avocado mushroom pasta recently and it was delicious!
My partner has been getting vegan cheese on his pizzas as well! Very happy! It

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Able to change pretty much any dish to vegan

Cons: Packaging for take away is still plastic for pasta, Swaps can get a little pricey (not too bad)

Four stars for effort

It's great to see a popular family restaurant making an effort by adding a vegan menu; you will need to ask for it though, as you will be presented with the omni menus by default.

I shared a pumpkin salad, bowl of wedges and entree sized anti pesto fettuccine with a friend and that was a LOT of food. The salad and the wedges were very generously sized; the pasta, just right for 1 person.

The pumpkin salad was refreshing and pleasantly seasoned with a balsamic dressing. The pasta was quite good and made with enough garlic to ward off the vampires in the Hungry Jack's car park next door! The wedges were badly cooked unfortunately and very oily; they were served with vegan sour cream and sweet chilli sauce.

The chips and wedges available on the menu are cooked in a separate fryer at this particular eatery. Worth checking if dining at other locations.

The customer service was very good and the staff (including the owner) asked on several occasions if all was well. The owner also mentioned that a vegan dessert menu is in development.

The four stars is largely for effort; the food is possibly a little uninspiring and hit and miss but they seem to be putting in more effort than most to cater for ethical diners.

A Vegan Oasis

A whole dedicated vegan menu, though basic, the food is fantastic in taste. We got a main anti-pasto to share as well as a bowl of eggplant chips. Delicious, and a really great place for a chain store to start with some vegan options.
