Beautiful food, beautiful place, highly recommend! - Edit
The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, the decor is classy while the managers has created a very relaxed atmosphere
Read moreThe menu has a wide selection of different foods to suite all pallets, with fresh ingredients, offering meals like seitan katsu currys, to a good solid burger.
The prices are very reasonable and then have some great offers on in addition making it ridiculously cheap.
The staff are lovely and speak highly of the owners and its clearly a lovely place to work.
Our server was called Sophie who was lovely and was very helpful giving us further recommendations for places to go for the rest of our trip.
I would suggest you don't ever come to Chester and not go here. 10/10!
Pros: All vegan, Offers on food and drinks

More restaurant than cafe - Edit
The food here is amazing! Full of flavour, freshly cooked, and not what I’d describe as simple cafe food. The service was first rate, and they also took the time to check for specific allergens in the dishes we ordered.
Read morePros: Amazing food, Totally vegan, Fairly priced
Cons: Not accessible because of the building, Needs more restaurant food, less cafe food

Great vegan - Edit
We were delighted to find Shrub in the rows. Nice wide variety of delicious choices. We started with vegan maple sausages. The ramen was fun because it is so hard to find without meat. And the celeriac steak was innovative and the dish went together well.

Favourite restaurant in Chester - Edit
We have been to Shrub many times and the food is always delicious! The flavours are always spot on. The staff are always so lovely and the venue is gorgeous. The new breakfast options are so good and the waffle on the dessert menu is amazing. Have tried many of the cocktails and they are lovely. We have never had a bad meal here and would recommend it to vegans and non-vegans alike.

Great food and atmosphere - Edit
Great food, great atmosphere, lovely staff. We sat outside because the weather was nice but inside looked just as beautiful. My husband and I shared mushroom calamari then both Sunday roast, both were excellent (up with the top vegan roasts I've had) portion size was big which sadly meant we had no room for pudding! Could not reccomd this lovely spot enough! Will definitely return if in Chester again.
Read morePros: Loads of options , Good value , Nice atmosphere

What a find ! 😍 - Edit
Only ended up here because the restaurant we were going to was shut, so glad because this place is amazing ! The vibe was so cosy, the food was gorgeous and the staff super friendly. We went with a non vegan who loved it as much as we did 🙏

Delicious food in an lovely setting - Edit
There is an option for everyone here whether vegan or not. All the food sounded delicious, but we ordered the pardon peppers, tofu tacos and the mushroom calamari to start and the sfs burger and shrub burger for main. I would definitely just get starters to share next time as they were big and filling.
Read morePros: Something for every one , Outdoor seating option but also lovely inside , Tofu tacos were amazing
Cons: cocktails were a bit expensive

On reading the menu in the window, didn’t realise at first that everything was vegan. Extensive choice. Personally not keen on pretend meats, but there were plenty of other choices.

Mmmm Broccolini - Edit
Hot chocolate was alright, too bad they ran out of whipped cream.
Read moreSeitan Katsu came with seaweed which I don't eat anymore, the seitan had a thin crispy batter to it, there was not enough of it! Rice was good and the Katsu sauce was alright, more on the sweet side, 3/5 stars
Sunday roast was great, the broccolini was the star, seitan was great along with the parsnip mash, wanted more of it! 4.5/5 stars
SFS burger was really dry, even though the red cabbage kept dripping juice, the leaf (not the red cabbage) was really dry too, almost waxy.....the buns were crispy on the outside, and it's quite thick compared to the super thin crispy seitan, due to the buns, it made biting into it awkward. Only highlight really was the seitan cutlet and the fries (although too short and bitsy/ stubby) along with the cheese/mayo (?) dip, 2.5/5 stars
Restaurant is lovely, great location, good staff.
