Great vibe and AMAZING food 😍

Spread eagle is so much fun!!! I recently went with my best friend and just absolutely love it in there! Such a cool, friendly vibe and love the decor too! There’s a little garden and smoking area outside too!

Food was absolutely delicious and so much to choose from. Also all alcohol is vegan which is fabulous as well!! They do some great brunch options too 👍

Pros: Food , Atmosphere , All vegan wine

A pub that has spread it’s wings!

An absolute must visit if you’re in or around East London! All vegan menu and drinks with some classic pub dishes reincarnated beautifully from a plant based perspective. Super cool and polite staff and quality quirky decor. Love it!

Just stupendous!

Been for a late afternoon visit twice now. Covid restrictions in place both times which meant table service.

Gorgeous pub surroundings and a huge range of vegan beer, wine and cocktails. Even without the vegan food menu this would be a very good pub.

But oh man, what a menu! Pub classic items reimagined and recreated in vegan style. Ploughman's lunch replete with excellent pork pie and vegan blue cheese. Pie, mash and liqueur on a blue china plate. Burgers, fries with curry sauce (chickpea fries!!!). If you're a vegan who wants to try traditional British pub food, this is the place.

Booking recommended for mealtimes.

Pros: Lovely staff, Amazing food and drink, Nice surroundings

Food now made in house by Spread Eagle, not club mexicana

Menu change over lockdown did not disappoint even though we came for the club mexicana. Still 5 stars and so so good, 100% vegan menu, drinks included. Had the hen of the woods buffalo burger, chickpea fries with curry mayo, pie and mash and croquettes with truffle mayo (really tasty). Can't recommend highly enough, great to have a vegan pub to visit.

Pros: London's first 100% vegan pub

Cons: No longer Club Mexicana

A must when in London!

Arrived at a time when they were only serving drinks (3-5pm), however the staff checked with the kitchen and kindly made us some food as well as we’d visited for a late lunch. The food was great, as were the cocktails, and the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating!
Would highly recommend and hope we’ll be back soon!

Pros: Tasty food, Reasonably priced, Friendly staff

Me likey

Had the triple fried chips, wings and quesadillas and a bit too much beer!

The quesadillas were the best out of the three - they were gooey, yummy and there wasn't enough! It's really good.

The chips were a bit oily and salty for me but they were cooked perfectly.
The wings were also a bit too oily but had a nice batter on it - it's a good one to try.

For the price, the servings are small but I'll be back again to try the other offerings.

The pub, as a pub goes, is a tad bit loud.

Pros: All vegan pub bro!

Cons: Pricey, Oily

Very good pub grub

Club Mexicana provide the food in this "all vegan" pub. Thankfully their food is not "all spicy and hot" but for those who like it so there are plenty of spicy condiments!
The menu is limited and we were tempted to order one of everything to share between the two of us. Only the spicy dip was left at the end of our meal and some things like the mushroom scallops and deep fried cheese could have been eaten all over again.
The only gripe I'd have is the rather boring nature of the burger bun bread, but the rest was sensuous.
Only one dessert, and it is sweetened without refined sugar so we had two ice creams in batter and left aside the chilli chocolate. very nice. It's not cheap but its good. the pub got rather busy and noisy as they do.

Returned in December 2019, and had the Xmas menu. The food is still exciting and different. You can tell that despite their success there is considerable effort made in the kitchen to keep standards high. The portions are still not generous but they are still tasty!

Pros: good different food, Not too spicy/hot, All vegan

Cons: Not large portions, Boring burger bun bread

Mexican food at a classic pub

Before you go, make sure you’re aware that it’s not classic pub food here! The menu is fully Mexican-inspired. We had a Cheeseburger quesadilla, a KFC burger and potatoes. All were good. We enjoyed the vast gin & tonic options as well!

Pros: All drinks are vegan!

Vegan pub, vegan food, all fab

Beautiful pub interior, vegan bar, vegan cocktail menu (margaritas, praise be), fantastic food.

You need to reserve, and it's a bit odd to queue at the bar to find out where to sit, but that's easy to get over.

Pros: It's what every town needs

Cons: None

well, it was ok

We went on a Saturday evening and the pub was busy.
I had a vegan chicken burger with potatoes.
Followed by a slice of cheesecake.
The burger was fine.
The potatoes were fine
The cheesecake was ok
The service was excellent
The very loud music coming from the speakers above our table made the evening less pleasant. In fact two of our party left cos they couldn't stand it!
Maybe we're just getting old and this is a place for youngsters!

Pros: The service was excellent, All the alcohol was vegan

Best tacos

This is honestly my favourite vegan food place. Their tacos are so good. Especially the fish one. Their brunch is also very nice.

Delicious vegan Mexi fare!

This is such a beautiful pub, with string attention to detail. The walls are painted in a pretty teal Farrow and Ball shade, there are fresh flowers on every table, they serve all sorts of beers (inc. GF), but they also make decent cocktails. I’ve had many a great weekend vending here sipping margaritas and eating delicious jack fruit GF tacos. Everything is vegan, the music is fantastic, and there is a shrine to Prince. Love the relaxed atmosphere. A great vegan pub with wonderful food!

VFC hell yes!

These amazing people brought their Vegan Fried Chick'n and burgers to Glastonbury festival this year and I was not disappointed - except by their opening times!
The portion sizes were good, the food was tasty and it was filling. The service was great as well, despite the queues.
Being super super critical the only thing I think that could be improved on is the batter of the chick'n. It could have some more flavour.

Pros: Great tasting food, Good value for money, Good service

Cons: Batter could have more flavour

Delicious food but very loud

Visited on a random Sunday evening and really enjoyed my BBQ plate. The 'ribs' were amazing and the waitress was super friendly.

Pros: Fantastic that it's 100% vegan

Cons: Music WAY too loud

Brunch full of flavours

I was already a fan of Club Mexicana’s tofish taco and cheeze fingers and their pub grub didn’t disappoint. The triple fried chips with chipotle mayo and the burrito were full of flavour. I also loved their mocktail options. I’ll be back to try the huevos rancheros and the empanadas!

Pros: Lots of options, Top flavours, Great service and booking options

Cons: No coffee / matcha

Quite nice

The staff were nice and it was quite loud and buzzy in the pub generally. We had the nachos and all the different types of tacos. The nachos were covered in like fridge cold toppings, which was a bit weird, especially when there's cheese sauce on it which you'd assume would be hot or at least warm. The tacos were tasty but probably a bit over-priced for the portion size. I had the mocktail strawberry daiquiri which was pretty sour. It's lovely to have an all-vegan pub, but the food and drink was a bit more disappointing than I had hoped. A gluten-free dessert option would also be good.

Pros: All vegan pub

Cons: Small portions

Great place!

Adamant about reviewing places I go because I actually read reviews so all my are authentic. Food was excellent, waiter a little cold and miserable looking (hopefully you’ll get a better one) but overall happy, just on food alone 5 star.

Pros: Taste great, Great Ambiance , Vegan chicken delicious

Cons: Waiter a little distant/cold

Delicious food, friendly

I came here for dinner the other night and was very impressed! I had a delicious vegan burger and was impressed by how friendly and helpful the staff were considering it was a busy Friday night! I’m sure I’ll be back again next time I’m in the area

amazing tofish

One of the best meals I've had. Be careful if you have allergies though, as they could not guarantee nut free.
