Why is this on happy cow?

Yet another place that someone once stumbled across a vegan option at and added to Happy Cow. Can we have some editorial standards applied? Having soy milk doesn't mean it should be listed here.

Pros: Open

Cons: SFA vegan options, Plum slice tasted days old

A great high tea

I discovered these guys do a Vegan High Tea right here on Happy Cow!! The review was from 2020 so I asked The Store if they still do them and yes they do!!! They have a couple of price options, standard (with tea, coffee or OJ) or with bubbles (unsure if that’s as well as or instead of the other drink options). You can book and just decide if you’re doing bubbles on the day, as I did for a surprise high tea :)

As at Feb 2023 it's $44pp (minimum 2 guests) or $54pp with bubbles.

We were really impressed with the high tea content - the savoury and sweet options were both great, as was the coffee! The service was also great, from multiple staff.

The down sides are the road noise if you're outside, the high tea is lovely but pricey and, apart from the high tea, they only have limited cabinet food (I asked them for more info, but was only advised re the cabinet food).

Pros: Great vegan high tea, Great service

Cons: Limited vegan cabinet options only (Feb 2023), The high tea is pricey

Lovely vegan high tea

I brought my staff here for our Xmas do - we came for the high tea with bubbles. It was lovely and enjoyed by both the vegans and non-vegans on the team. We had polenta croquettes, a slider, potato ball, club sandwich plus fancy sweet treats. We booked in advanced.

Pros: lovely vegan high tea, helpful staff, nice location

Cons: would be good to have more vegan options of course
