No 18 👌👌👌 - Edit
Visited here for a Brunch in August after doing the local parkrun. Super friendly service and food was awesome! Lovely Pancakes and sausage Sandwich. They also have separate GF menu. I had an Iced Coffee which was lovely too. Really good value - definitely recommended! 🌱

Great british style breakfast - Edit
Our host recommended this place for their great British breakfast. And boy was she right! I had a great breakfast with all what you crave from an original British breakfast.
Read moreHomemade smokey baked beans, homemade seitan based bacon, mushrooms, sausages etc. all on one platter.
Besides that the hot chocolate I had was also great and the staff very friendly and welcoming!

Average Coffee - Edit
We didn’t manage to eat here, sadly. Arrived at 14:55 to get a food order in before the kitchen closed at 15:00, but were told the kitchen was already closed. The optimist in me thought 15:00 meant 15:00! As we were already there, we ordered a flat white with oat and a vanilla chai. Sadly, flat white came as a latte and the coffee taste was lacking. The saving grace was the vanilla chai, which was delightful!

Hi Lloyren, I am the owner of No 18 and please accept my apologies for this coffee. This is not a coffee we are proud of and it should not have been served to you. Please contact me when you are next planning to visit so we can redeem ourselves with a complimentary coffee and cake.

Lovely little vegan place - Edit
Friendly staff. Loved the Buddha bowl but it was more like a salad. I think it needed some beans/grains/pulses or to rice etc.

Been a couple of times, as it looked autumnal we thought we would order the Ch*ckin and Sweetcorn pie and the Root Vegetable Casserole with cheezy mash, everything was piping hot very tasty and lots of it, also had the Vanilla Cheezecake which was gawjus! Staff very attentive and you can always have a chat with someone there, nice place very clean! Dogs allowed as well so bring your pooches!
Read morePros: Excellent food and service, Great atmosphere , Very reasonable
Cons: Struggle to park, same everywhere though, Nothing else, Nothing else

The best vegan food in my area. - Edit
Being fairly short of vegan options in my area it's a treat to have Canteen 18 as a local all-vegan restaurant. Friendly vibe and service, dogs made to feel welcome, and the food is delicious whether you wantba healthy Buddha bowl/salad or fast food. They also do vegan nights and special events.

So many options (sweet and savoury) - Edit
Very friendly staff with cosy decor. Even my non vegan partner loved the food.
Read moreWe had a Southern friendly chicken burger, all day breakfast (vegan Black pudding was lovely) and two slices of cake.
Seems to be a popular spot with locals as well which is always a good sign!
Defo worth a visit whether veggie or vegan.
Vanilla chai latte was fab as well if you like something sweet!! 100%vegan as per the name.

Lovely desserts - Edit
It’s not the most amazing vegan junk food I’ve ever had, but I ate here a few times in Swansea and always enjoyed it. The cakes were always my favourite - particularly the lemon meringue pie, which was one of my favourites before being vegan.

Monster shake and lovely chips - Edit
We came here for a very early dinner as there aren’t many vegan options on a Saturday night. When we asked what was in the vegan shake and we heard marshmallows and whipped cream, that was enough to say yea! I got the mushy peas and tofish and chips. My partner got the poutine. The chips and mushy peas and shakes were good. I liked the tofish but it wasn’t as fishy as I’ve had recently. Still nice though. There are plenty of seats inside.
