Beech Tree Inn - Edit
There’s quite a few vegan and veggie options on the menu, plus vegan ice cream and cakes in the shop. We had a tour of the animal enclosures and met some of the rescues - ponies, pygmy goats, rabbits and guinea pigs - all adorable and you get lots of interaction with them so the animal experience is well worth doing (you need to book ahead). Lunch-wise, we went for the lentil soup, roasted pepper toastie and veggie haggis. All very nice and the service was excellent. Really charming staff here too. Well worth a visit.

Beef Wellington and sweet treats - Edit
After exploring the area we stopped here as there was a variety of vegan options on the menu. Lots of option on the main menu and the days specials(as well as sticky toffee pudding dessert). Even snagged myself some vegan lemon cake!!! When we went there wasn’t many people there but still a lovely atmosphere, cosy area, lovely staff. There are some rescue animals and ponies, that children are able to have an education lesson, on feeding and caring for…..

Cons: Not a con, per say, just a little small,

3 Stars for Options, 2 Stars for Taste - Edit
We hadn’t been to The Beech Tree for a while, so it was great to see they’d recently changed their menu to include LOTS of vegan options (previously there were few vegetarian dishes, and none marked vegan). Although it was a pleasant surprise to see the new menu, our choices weren’t particularly flavourful and I think there might still be confusion over veganism (so be particularly wary if you have allergies).
Read moreI went for the “Roots Burger”. Not sure if it’s any different from their “Veg Burger”, other than there being two patties. We’d specified vegan, but still got served the non-vegan coleslaw and perhaps this means the bun wasn’t vegan either. I have no idea what the patties were made from (they were white/grey-ish in colour), but unfortunately they were very bland.
My boyfriend asked for the vegan “Vegetable Fajitas”, which was served with non-vegan cheese, creme fraiche and no rice (which seemingly should’ve been included with the vegan option). This was tasty enough but basic. We’d also ordered sweet potato fries, which were a little bland.
Lastly we had the Devils Food Cake for dessert. This was a very tasty chocolate cake, marked vegan, but doesn’t specify on the menu that you need to modify to actually make it vegan - no cream, ice cream, or custard (and no alternatives offered).
Although it’s great to have lots of vegan menu options in an area where vegans aren’t particularly catered for, our meal wasn’t great and was a little pricy for what we got (£35 for two mains, fries, one small slice of cake). We’ll stick to drinks and cake in future.
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Appreciated effort in recently changing menu
Cons: Pricy for what it is, Confusion over veganism, Bland
