Excellent choice for a pub lunch - Edit
Normally it can be hard to find vegan options at pubs but there were loads of options and the waitress said they could adapt more. I had the vegan fish and chips and it deffo hit the spot

Excellent Options - Edit
Visited in June 2024 - amazing to see so many vegan options on the menu! Food was generally good - slightly smaller portion sizes than previous and prices now a bit higher but would go back for a special occasion.

Delicious food - Edit
Many different vegan options to choose from. I had roasted aubergine and red pepper dip with bread to start and 'chicken' souvlaki for main. Sadly too full for a dessert so just a very tasty espresso for me! I honestly thought there was a vegan in the kitchen as the food was done so well with a lot of thought and effort made. Definitely want to return and try something else!

Surprisingly Good Find - Edit
A pub I’ve driven past loads of times and finally booked a table for a birthday. Was really pleasantly surprised to find loads of vegan options on the menu, lots of good variety. Felt like a lot of effort had gone into it. Staff were very attentive and vegan aware, food was good and prices were reasonable. Highly recommend, will be back.

Lovely pub with nice gardens - Edit
Great there are vegan/ gluten free choices.
Read moreNot the cheapest pub so could not visit every week. I feel the menu is better if just vegan. Gluten free choices not very exciting and expensive for what it is.
Keep checking menu for different choices.

Beautiful food in a lovely pub - Edit
The roast dinner and pumpkin pie was amazing and clearly all had good thought put into it, rather than just offering an uninspired "vegan option"
Read morePros: Huge vegan and vegetarian menu, Care and consideration taken into food choices
Cons: Some flies kept disturbing us

Lovely pub with great vegan options! - Edit
We celebrated a big family celebration here and loved they had great options for everyone. I was impressed with the number of vegan choices, including on the wine list! We even had some vegan kids in the group
Read moreand they were happy to make smaller portions for them and customized it as requested. We tried the veg curry pot pie, vegan Sunday roast, vegan burger, the fruit crumble with vegan ice cream, and many vegan starters! We liked everything and would be happy to return!
Pros: Lots of vegan choices , Vegan wines!, Was able to accommodate our large party & request
Cons: Had to pay a deposit to hold reservation , Must order drinks at the bar

Great Vegan choice - Edit
Good choice of food for everyone, and specifically a good choice for vegans. I got to eat my first vegan pie and it was delicous. They've gone the extra mile, with even vegan mayonnaise available. The only downside was it did feel a little pricey, but that could just be down to the price of everything going up. Would highly reccommend, and would suggest you book in advance.

Lovely Sunday Lunch - Edit
It’s a good thing we’d nothing planned for the rest of the day following our meal. I had to have a lie down! I can’t remember the last time we ate so much! Restraint was out of the window as it was our friend’s birthday. 😅
Read moreThe pub was so welcoming and cosy on this grey rainy day. The service was very very good. Our red wine was lovely and we couldn’t fault the food. Such a warm and hygge place! We booked in advance.
Pros: A lovely vegan menu, Cosy atmosphere , Friendly and attentive staff

Our go to place to eat - Edit
We eat at The Chester Arms regularly. The vegan menu is great so you never need to compromise. The vegan options are well thought out rather than the lazy options you get at some places.
Read moreWe are always made to feel welcome and have introduced lots of our friends and family to The Chester Arms too.
It’s a shame the app won’t let me give it 5 stars because it deserves all 5!
Pros: Comprehensive vegan menu, Great value , Friendly and welcoming

Lovely extensive vegan menu. - Edit
A great places that puts thought and effort into its vegan options rather than just offering a burger or the ubiquitous sweet potato and chickpea curry. Lots of options for all courses, always my first port of call for a nice pub meal.

Great Vegan Options - Edit
Ate here on Father’s Day and was really impressed with the range of vegan options.
Read moreThere is a separate vegan menu and loads to choose from.
I had the mixed grill which was a decent size and tasty.
Was great that 90% of the deserts were vegan so when my daughter couldn’t eat her ice cream I could finish it off!

Visited again last night (Aug 2021) and had the “lamb” skewers and “chicken” burger. Both tasted amazing!

Cons: That you can’t give this place 5 stars

Only place to come locally for a banging vegan roast. We also had the lamb skewers to start and they were absolutely incredible, you need to try if you miss the taste of real lamb!

Imaginative vegan menu - Edit
My favourite place in Beds/Bucks area, I always visit here when I'm working in the area. Separate vegan menu with four or five options each for starter/main/dessert. They seem to add imaginative new dishes every few months. Quality of food is excellent and service is always friendly and efficient.
Read moreAbsolutely LOVE the sriracha cauliflower starter and I recommend saving some room for the chocolate oreo cheesecake.
Worth booking ahead, because they can get quite busy and staff will advise best time to avoid long waits for food.
They also have proper beer and vegan wines.
Only criticism is that veggies are sometimes a little overcooked. But I guess you can state a preference for crunchier veg when ordering.
Pros: Separate extensive vegan menu , Quality of food, Excellent service
Cons: Serves meat, Vegetables sometimes a little overcooked
