Delicious Lunch - Edit
The Sanctuary of Healing cafe has lots of choice for vegans and is very relaxing and chilled. Had a tofu salad and jacket potato with red pepper houmous with two decaf teas with oat milk.

If you want a relaxing lunch this is a perfect spot with outside seating in the courtyard when that weather is sunny.
Pros: Lots of vegan options , Plant milks, Vegan ice cream

Top notch service and super fresh food - Edit
Our first visit today. Last lunch Order is 14:15. We were right at the last minute so the soup had sold out but the service was amazing. The food was sooooo fresh and the bread basket was a joy. Vegan spread available. Soups vegan, one sandwich and one salad. Vegan baked goods and ice cream (booja booja) available.

A Sanctuary, Indeed. - Edit
Set in a beautiful holistic treatment retreat, the café at The Sanctuary of Healing has several vegan options. I ordered the tofu salad, and my dad ordered the soup of the day. I asked to confirm that the bread, spread and dressings that come with the salad were also vegan (a few venue slip-ups in the past has taught me to not assume), which actually caused a little confusion to my surprise, but after some discussion with other staff members, it was resolved.
Read moreWe were a little early to be ordering the food, as they don’t start serving food until 12 noon, but after a little wait, the meals arrived promptly after this time. I was delighted with the flavours and construction of my salad, also the bread was deliciously soft and fluffy. My dad enjoyed his soup and also commented on how fresh the bread was.
The interior is very modern, clean and uplifting, and despite my expectations of it being pretty quiet at this time, it had a great atmosphere, with small groups of people already enjoying themselves at the location. The venue is very accessible; I noted wheelchair users and people with buggies having few issues. The toilets were easy to access too, although I think the entrance to the café could be a bit tight without assistance, so that might be something to bear in mind.
I’m thrilled at the options for vegans, with clear labelling systems, I think a little update with the staff so they fully understand the menu and dietary requirements would be a good way forwards. I’ll definitely be calling back as soon as I can.
Pros: Clearly labelled vegan options, fresh bread, clean and modern interior.
Cons: Could do with few more vegan choices, a little confused with vegan items.
