Has potential! - Edit
Lovely little cafe in Bowness-on-Windermere which was one of the few places we found that was open and served breakfast.
Read moreThere's not currently a vegan option on the menu, however, when I spoke to the staff they were happy to knock up a vegan breakfast for me, and it was lovely.
I got chatting to the chef and I mentioned how difficult it had been to find vegan options while visiting the Windermere area. He said they were planning to update the menu and wanted to include more vegan and veggie options.
Pros: Friendly staff, Good food and coffee, Reasonably priced
Cons: Not officially any vegan options on the menu.

Limited choice - Edit
Good choices are available for vegetarians, but nothing available for vegans, although they will alter what they can to make it work.

Seems good value for money - Edit
Only came for a drink but the menu looks decent and based off the tea it seems good value for money (3 cups from one pot) and the mugs are cool!

Ok food - Edit
Had the smoked tofu with JD Tennessee glaze and edamame beans. It tasted okay but the tofu was silken tofu and didn’t have a great deal of flavour.

Cons: Lacking flavour

Not great - Edit
2 stars seeing as a non-vegan place can get a max of 4 stars on the app even if it’s fantastic. Had potential but the tofu and pie were both served with soggy soft sweet potato fries and the tofu dish in general was quite oily.

Gigantic portion, great service - Edit
Very good food and service. I had the vegan smoked tofu with spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, salad, and sweet potato fries. Tofu was soft and smoky and the portion was huge! Enjoyed the meal here. Reservation is recommended for dinner, as can be quite busy.

Awesome vegan options and staff - Edit
Waiter misheard our order and because we had ordered mostly vegan options came back to double check the misheard bit showing they care about dietary requirements. Pie was absolutely the best pie I ever had and chips and fries and side vegetables were awesome too.
Read morePros: Fair number of vegan options, Staff understanding of dietary requirements

Not worth it - Edit
Was super excited to see this restaurant had a vegan pie option however it was from the freezer, unseasoned and just potatoes and pastry making it very dry despite being undercooked. Veg was unseasoned but fries were nice. Wouldn’t recommend for a vegan option.
Read morePros: Good location , Portion size
Cons: No flavour, Poorly cooked food, Price

Tasty vegan options - Edit
We really enjoyed the food here and were pleased to have a couple of options. We noticed there were more options than they marked out on the menu and think they’ve missed a trick there. The staff were happy to be flexible with the dishes.
Read morePros: Really tasty food, A couple of vegan options, Lots of dishes which could be made vegan
Cons: Could do with some more vegan options, Doesn’t mark out what could be vegan

Not great - Edit
I popped in for breakfast. Just a few small amendments would make this a good vegan venue, e.g. non-dairy spread, or nut butter. I had the veggie sausage sandwich, which was ok but nothing special.
Read morePros: Nice ambience
Cons: Not many vegan breakfast options

Good food and mocktails! - Edit
We had a veggie burger (halloumi and falafel), and a vegan burger (portobello mushroom). The portion sizes were good and the option to swap to vegan coleslaw was appreciated. We also had a soy vanilla latte and a mocktail, both of which were very nice. I think the menu was good for veggies but the vegan options could be improved, a lot of the veggie options involved cheese and if there was a way t remove these and broaden the vegan menu it would be good. The vegan symbol was also very close to the veggie one which made it a little difficult to distinguish.

Almost no vegan options - Edit
Ordered the smoked tofu (looked like the only vegan/GF item). Got plain, greasy, fried tofu - NOT smoked. Staff said, yes, it IS smoked. Side salad that came with the tofu had rotting pieces of lettuce amidst some fresh lettuce. My friend (not vegetarian) ordered chicken salad. Super greasy, not much lettuce. Disappointing!

big breakfast - Edit
Bowness in Windermere has very few vegan options so once i discovered The Magic Roundabout, i was very happy. They have quite a few vegetarian options which they can make vegan. I've twice had the veggie full english breakfast. Its very generous and delicious. The falafel burger is also very good. Staff are friendly, its clean and good food.
