Cosy cocktails - Edit
Visited last week and had a fab experience drinking their hot cocktails and food. I went for the Caesar salad and it was delicious and filling. Menu was pretty good and space and owners created posi vibes.

Not just a shack - a vegan palace - Edit
FM had a great time dining here during the Covid eating-out rules. The bohemian decor creates a cosy and fun atmosphere, and the service is friendly and pretty fast. The range of food options was good: FM sampled the jackfruit wings, oyster mushroom linguini, and the doughballs. Maybe a little bit expensive, but the food quality was solid if not amazing, with no dishes that were a miss.
Read morePros: Lots of options, Fun bohemian decor and cosy atmosphere
Cons: A little bit expensive, No standout dishes
loveshack
Why thank you so much for taking the time to review us and of course for the visit, first time our humble establishment has ever been referred to as a palace, but we will take it nonetheless!
Read moreWe're very pleased you enjoyed the weird and wonderful decor and vibe of our quirky little railway arch, although we're sorry if you felt we were a little overpriced, we really try to make sure there is something available to suit all budgets, and that whats on offer is reasonably priced, so we're sorry if you didn't find this to be the case.
Either way, hopefully we'll be able to welcome you back again soon and if you don't already, give us a follow on social as we often run happy hours and evening deals.
Take care and hopefully catch you soon! x

"Second Home" to many! - Edit
When I moved to London, I loved this place so much, I moved next door (around the corner) and held my wedding reception there! The staff are the friendliest bunch of people you will ever meet and the shack itself has the quirkiest, homely vibe. It is pet friendly, the food is great (I recommend everything) and the vibe is always chilled. I spent 2 New Years eves in a row there too and I've attended more events there than I could count using my fingers and toes. From yoga to clothes swaps, jam sessions to full moon parties, comedy nights to supper clubs - this incredible space is all about community.
Read morePros: Community vibe, Outdoor garden seating, Pet friendly
loveshack
Hahaha YES Taryn, you absolute ripper! What a truly bloomin' heartfelt and bloody lovely review this is, it has got to be our favourite review EVER and struggle to see it being beaten!!! We LOVE you Taryn and its because of people like yourself that the Shack is what the Shack is, we are built on community and community has to be build on the individuals within it and you are one of the strongest heartbeats within this community so thank you for everything you are and everything you do. We're so pleased you found us and we found you. We remember you sitting all un-assuming reading with your smoothies in the early days, who knew you'd become one of our bessies, thank you so much and heres to many more happy years! All our love darling! X

The food is only surpassed by the staff . - Edit
Myself my husband and our toy poodle love this place , it’s such a chilled out space with lovely owners and staff. The food has always been so delicious and I love that they give a doggy discount ; it’s very much appreciated on a nurses wage in London😜.
Read moreWe’ve only managed to get to one of the talks that are hosted here but the talk on Funghi was so interesting; I’ll never look at mushrooms the same way !
Pros: Delicious food ! , Lovey staff , Chilled out setting with incense😄
Cons: I only wish there was a happy hour !😄
loveshack
Yes guys, thanks so much for taking the time to plonk us a little review and such a nice one at that! We really appreciate your support and obviously for taking the time to put into words your experiences at the Shack, we have dabbled with the happy hour situation, so watch this space and maybe the next time you come and see us we may have a happy hour or two operational, either way, stay safe and see you soon! x

Great website, terrible quality, worse value for money - I'd head to Oddbox - Edit
We wanted to love this lot and, during the lockdown we went all-in and ordered a £75 box.
Read moreThe best thing I can say about what arrived is that there really wasn't much of it so we got through it quickly.
We reckon we could have bought the whole lot for about £25 - £30 and got much better quality.
I contacted them to ask if something had gone wrong and they offered me 25% off my 'next order'!
Left feeling exploited. The site won't let me give them one star (or none).
Pros: Nice website, Erm, No
Cons: Really poor quality fruit and vegetables, Massively overpriced, Jamie in CS
loveshack
Hey Monsense thank you so much for taking the time to write this review and express your opinions on the business and the service you received. Everyone is of course entitled to their opinion and as such we think its probably only fair and right to include the whole story to give people some context, so that other people can make an informed decision and make up their own mind based on all available information.
Read moreTo paint a picture, during the lockdown Love Shack pivoted the business model almost overnight to become a fruit, veg and daily essentials delivery service. With the help of an out of work electric black cab driver and friend we were delivering same day all across London. Hand picking and collecting fresh fruit and veg on an almost daily basis from New Spitalfield Market.
We did this in order to pay staff monies owed to them and in an attempt to keep the business afloat, albeit bobbing around.
In the three months of operating we received but one piece of negative feedback or a bad review, which is what you see before you.
These particular customers claimed that their box was not only missing produce, a lot of produce, but, that it was also of a terrible standard, however, they chose to bring this to our attention OVER THREE WEEKS from having received their goods, furthermore they had no evidence whatsoever, not even so much as a photo to prove their case.
As a business we tried to resolve the issue as best we could, however, with absolutely no evidence and three weeks after receiving their "bad and missing" produce, there was little we could do, than to offer them 25% off their next order, they chose not to take us up on this offer and felt their time and effort would be far better spent making slanderous accusations.
Again, thank you very much for your time!
Take care and all the best!

Lovely but can be improved - Edit
(I think aatmankothari's review from a few months ago is spot on, so I'll reuse some of it😄The staff was super friendly and the ambience was good too. Loved the vibe. There's scope for improvement in the food: the full english breakfast and the jackfruit wrap were nice but not fabulous.
Read moreloveshack
Hey Mcld we're sorry you only thought your experience was worthy of 3 stars, as we said in response to aatmankothari's review, we're genuinely saddened by anything below a 5 star, but clearly something was not on point for your visit, so we apologies!!!
Read moreHowever, the Shack is a place of constant evolution and improvement, as and when we have the time and money to do so, two commodities which are difficult to find in a new independent business, but slowly we're getting there, swing by and see us if you're ever in the neighbourhood, we'd love a chance to turn those 3 stars into a 5.
No pressure obviously, either way, take care and hopefully we might see you soon! x

Quirky, adorable and great Full English Breakfast - Edit
Had the full English breakfast and it was the best of three vegan full English breakfasts that we had at 3 different vegan places in London. The waitress was super friendly, and her puppy, Lettuce, was very cute. It was not the cleanest place, but it was an experience like none other and most importantly, the food was fantastic.
Read morePros: Great food, cute puppy, hammocks!
Cons: Dirty, Near loud street

Hey Jessica, thanks so much for taking the time to review us, so pleased you enjoyed the full English and the experience, we were very new to the property when you came to see us and lots has changed and hopefully improved since, although, the breakfast, its still bangin'!!! and blows many people (including non vegans) away, you should come and see us again and see if its still up to scratch haha.

Fun, freeing and delicious - Edit
I adore this place. A haven in East London. They are sustainable and think about the environment, while providing the most incredible atmosphere of chill out and fun lounging space for you and your mates. Food is delicious, fresh and made with love. They also stock food from small and ethical supplier - the best vegan cheeses and cakes. The staff are great fun and friendly people with tons of personality, who are great with customers. I hosted my birthday here and it was superb - all my friends loved it and LoveShack laid on a bbq and gorgeous cake. Perfect 😊
