Only 2 options and neither are a full meal

The staff were all great but the fact remains that on their menu there is either a lasagne with salad or a falafel burger with salad for the same price as a non vegan option that includes chips etc- all really dissatisfying and expensive

Pros: Nice sfaff, Good food service hours

Cons: No choice of vegan options

I had the vegan burger which was fine. I didn't notice any vegan feta to be honest. Quite a small burger. My partner had the Cob Style Salad but they didn't have any pomegranate seeds so gave him sweetcorn instead. No change to the price though.

We sat outside as we had our dog with us. Halfway through our meal, two men came out and sat on the next table to us smoking away which wasn't very pleasant for us when we were eating. There were other tables available further away but we got the impression that they always sat at that table and weren't going to move for anybody.

All in all, it was OK as there aren't many vegan options in the area (except the Bear's Head, which has upped its game recently on the vegan front).

Pros: Vegan menu

Cons: Smokers in your face in the outside area

Generic pub food

Has a vegan and vegetarian menu which is great and more than many other pubs have.
But like many chains of pubs the food is bland and microwaved.

Pros: Vegan option

Cons: Microwaved food, Bland , Weatherspoon generic ambiance

It’s a chain pub

Giving it 4 stars as there’s not much else in the area. Had the Moving Mountains burger which was pretty good. Spicy because of the vegan Sriracha mayo. Portion sizes are on the smaller size. They have three vegan desserts which is pretty good and in general there is quite a bit of choice.

Pros: Quite a lot of choices, Prices are ok

Cons: It’s a chain if that bothers you
