Amazing food and lovely staff!!☺️

I was there with my parents and we all had lunch there. I had the Tacos which tasted amazing and the loaded Nachos were also delicious. They also have loads of cakes and muffins each day which also taste soooo good!! The staff was also verry lovely😊 I would advice everyone to go and check them out if you’re already in the region❣️

Pros: Amazing food, Lovely staff, Great variety of baked goods

Beautiful !

I have been making scrambled tofu for 15 years. And hands down this is the best I have ever tasted. My partner had the breakfast wrap which was equally as amazing, and a muffin. Beautiful food ♥️🌱

Delicious food

Saw advertised on Facebook their Indian Thali evening - delicious food, with 5 different curries, a bhaji, rice, naan and poppadoms and dips, finished off with my first ever vegan cheeseboard! Wish I lived closer to come more often!

Thank you for leaving such a lovely review; we agree, the muffins are delicious, you'd never know they were Vegan! Just goes to show, you don't need diary or eggs to make a cake taste super delicious. Hope to see you again.

Fabulous place

Food was perfect . We ordered a soup, came with 2 large slices of sourdough, and a salad bowl which was enormous and delicious. Wine was lovely too.
We sat outside but inside is really nice.
Great service helpful staff.
This place will go from strength to strength.
I hope it eventually opens in the evening at weekend .

Pros: The food, The wine, The staff

Cons: None

Vegan food done right!

Tried out the botanical kitchen, and I was so impressed. The staff were very kind, welcoming, and super dog friendly. The food was incredible, bursting with flavour and well presented. I had the granola, tofu scramble on sourdough, and the special which was Kentucky fried oyster mushroom tacos (these really need to have a permanent place on the menu!) . Everything was extremely delicious, easily some of the best food I’ve had in recent times.
You can really tell that a lot of thought has gone into creating these dishes. Vegans and non-vegans will leave here very happy, and wanting more!
I can’t wait to visit again and I can highly recommend to others 😁. They deserve all the support in the world!

A must if in Bowness

A delicious Sunday lunch, far too much to eat in one sitting so we brought it home to eat later. The team were very friendly and helpful. Must go back and try the week day menu

Vegan paradise in Bowness

I wanted to visit on opening day as it's long overdue having a vegan presence in Bowness. Lovely place with outdoor seating and dog friendly outside and on the ground floor, has a small mezzanine floor upstairs. Has a really good selection of vegan dishes and the coffee is fabulous. Had a vegan chilli bowl and Beyond burger and two oat flat whites served with a chocolate chip cookie. All the food was made to order and delicious and good sized portions.

Will definitely revisit when next in the Lakes. Highly recommended.

Pros: 💯 vegan , Dog friendly
