The Shrub - Edit
I’ve been meaning to come here for a while because i saw they had some vegan options, so I brought an open-minded friend to check it out.
Read moreWe soon found out that everything is vegan, I was quite overwhelmed by choice as I’m used to having bean burgers and the odd curry when out.
Super friendly staff, super tasty food, I would recommend the sausages!

How vegan food should be done - Edit
A tastefully decorated, spacious place in an excellent location (provided you don't have mobility issues or a pushchair, as, like most Chester venues, there are many steps).
Read moreShrub does healthy food packed with flavour. They understand what vegan customers want. My beetroot hummus was sprinkled with toasted seeds. My jackfruit salad had proper lollo rosso, not rubbish iceberg lettuce. My cheesecake had a crunchy nut base. The jackfruit itself was crispy and oozing with sticky sauce. My partner won't stop talking about his broccoli and asparagus side dish, and urging me to try and recreate it. Very reasonable prices, too. We will be back soon.
Pros: Flavours, Value, Bottle of chilled water brought without us having
Cons: No good for people who struggle with steps

Chester Delight! - Edit
Followed a recommendation from the awesome team in The Jaunty Goat (you need coffee and cake from there if you’ve not been) and boy were they right.
Read moreAmazing place. Can’t rate it highly enough. From friendly staff to incredible food to one of the best playlists I’ve heard in a restaurant, I could not fault this place. Congratulations Shrub team!
Pros: Really well presented and tasty menu, Great value for money, Really great vibe
Cons: It’s not in London so I can’t visit every week :)

Delicious! - Edit
So many delicious looking options, we had the seitan wrap and a few sides: Tofu and broccoli & asparagus with basil pesto (would recommend!). Great options as you can have a Mixture of small side plates, a standard sized dinner or lighter lunch plates. This was great value for money too.
Read moreThanks to the chef for not lacing all dishes with coriander like most vegan places do. Decor inside the restaurant was gorgeous.

Swayed a non-vegan! - Edit
Visited with a friend who didn’t realise the whole restaurant is vegan - said the gouda burger was the best he’d ever had! He didn’t believe me at first when I said it was a plant burger!
Read moreAbsolutely delicious food and lots of great GF options for myself. Will definitely be back next time I visit Chester.
Pros: Lots of GF options

Amazing experience - Edit
Food was gorgeous and I loved how the menu was filled with lots of fresh food and creative ways of serving vegetables rather than relying on mock meats! Everything we ordered was delicious, arrived quickly and the service was very good. Everything arrived quickly, including drinks, and we were checked on regularly throughout the meal. The restaurant itself also had a really good vibe and seemed to be doing really well.

What A Fantastic Vegan Find - Edit
Shrub is a fabulous place and I will definitely revisit. Its spacious, has a lovely vibe and the staff are brilliant too. Ordered corn ribs with BBQ sauce and beetroot houmous with flatbread...Mains were squash, baba ganoush with wild rice and quinoa for me and linguine verde for hubby who ended with raspberry chocolate tart. The food was excellent, full of flavour and very tasty, we left clean plates. Highly recommended.

I had a meal at Shrub back in October and it’s safe to say I’ll be back next time I’m in Chester. The menu is unreal, everything was delicious and the service was wonderful, such friendly staff.

Incredible - Edit
I am never one to write reviews but I am so glad we found this place and hope many others will too. The food was incredible, so flavoursome, the BEST vegan restaurant I have visited in my 3 years so far as a vegan. Wonderful atmosphere created by the interior design, layout, lighting and waiters. My partner who isn't vegan thoroughly enjoyed the food too, struggling to believe this delicious food was plant based. We had a cauliflower starter we've been attempting to recreate since as it was so divine, we had no idea cauliflower could be so delicious. We enjoyed our evening so much we revisited the following day for Sunday lunch, which also did not disappoint. Delicious vegan food at such a reasonable price and wonderful staff/service. Faultless and I can not wait to return whenever we are able. THANK YOU.

A new favourite! - Edit
A fab addition to Chester's growing vegan repertoire. Spoiled for choice, I had the mushroom "calamari" wrap and some bacon cheese fries (and a cheeky pilsner). My omni friend (who was also very impressed) had to roll me out of there. I'll be coming back as often as I can.

Unpretentious, casual and great food - Edit
Should have paid more attention to another review... The main meals and starters at dinner are huge! We had mushroom calamari, BBQ cauliflower and meatballs (main) and barely finished.
Read moreHave since been back for drinks, focaccia and doughnuts at lunch, and hoping to go back for a drink tonight (last night of our trip).
Great location, lovely setting, and casual.
A bit loud for my liking as there's music playing both inside and on the terrace, which was a bit too loud.
Pros: Entirely vegan, Great location, Big portions
Cons: Music was a bit loud

Full vegan menu!! - Edit
Amazing takeaway from Shrub during lockdown - easy to order via text and collection was quick & safe. Loads of options, all vegan - can't wait to try the full menu when they open up properly. Mushroom calamari and cauli-bites were unreal 😍🌱

Sunday lunch - Edit
I have only had a take out Sunday roast from Shrub due to its soft opening during the pandemic. The roast was really tasty though my husband and I both loved it and very much look forward to getting to properly visit Shrub when life is a little more normal again
