Vegan paradise!

Everything about our experience was brilliant from the moment we walked in the door. Staff were friendly and attentive throughout, our burgers were delicious (I had the gluten-free bun) and the loaded cheesy fries were honestly the DREAMIEST! I've been longing for more of them ever since we left ..! Kudos to the incredible chefs.

We had the 'I love Ewe' cocktail and the 'Piers Morgan's tears' cocktail (a must!). Both were great!

They even brought out a birthday brownie for my friend's 40th birthday weekend... such a lovely touch! On top of everything the vibe of the restaurant is effortlessly cool and just a lovely place to be.

Special thanks to all the hard-working staff there! Also thanks to the legend that is Ed Winters.

Very Tasty

Portions weren't large but were very nice, the drumsticks were good but the lotus root 'bone' was a bit tough, the garlic greens were not impressive, the tofish was really good, not too fishy but tasty & the chips were nice & thick. The waffles & ice cream were hot & fresh. My overall impression was very good but not outstanding, I think I have been spoilt by the quality ofvegan food in Shanghai.

Pros: Tasty, Friendly

Cons: Portions could be bigger

On-point

My partner went for the meaty burger option and I went for vegan cod. Vegan fish alternatives are on the whole not amazing but this dish was honestly on-point. The flavors were perfect!

Pros: Interesting dishes, Great vegan cod, Reasonable prices

Most realistic fake meat I’ve ever had

Very stylish and cool inside. Lovely staff and atmosphere. The bacon and truffle Mac & cheese starter could’ve been a main, it was that delicious. The steak burger was eerily reminiscent of a real piece of meat which was an experience but still very tasty!

Pros: Excellent food, Liked the vibe, Easy to find

Cons: Quite pricey

Way to go for fish and chips

Went there as tourist to get as authentic fish and chips as possible. Were not disappointed 🔥

Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Service

Cons: Chips could have been saltier for my taste

Veganuary special offer!

My boyfriend and I went for the veganuary special offer where your non vegan Co diner gets their meal for free if you are vegan! I got the ceasar salad but I asked to swap out the mock chicken with tofu instead. The only tofu they had was the one they used in the to-fish and chips so they added that to my salad. My boyfriend got the vegan beef burger and we split the cheesy fries. My salad was very fresh and quite filling, but the tofu was a little too much like fish (which is their intended purpose) so I didn’t love it because of my personal preferences. My boyfriend also said that the beef burger was nothing special, but it was good. We throughly enjoyed the cheesy fries, but the best part was the friendliness of the staff! 6.5/10 for food but 10/10 for service:)

Pros: Staff, Freshness, Ambience

Cons: Lack of veggie forward dishes

Devine!

The atmosphere was great! It was clean, and the service was spot on. Do make a reservation though as they get very busy. I had the "fish" & chips. It tasted real! All of our dishes were perfect. The flavours were also spot on! I will definitely be going there again! Do it, you won't regret it. Thank you Ed!!! 💚

Pros: Atmosphere, It's fully vegan, Everything was perfect

Amazing food

The 3D-printed steak was surprisingly steak-like, as least as much as I remember the taste and texture of steak. I absolutely loved the mac and cheese, and the tofu fish and chips was a pretty solid main.

Awesome fish and chips

The fish and chips here was incredible! I'd recommend it to everyone. The 3d printed meals weren't really for me but are still my go-to picture to show meat eaters that have weird notions about the progress of mock meats.

Will definitely be going back here!

Very relaxed atmosphere at 12pm on a Tuesday. We tried the truffle bacon mac 'n cheese which was heavenly, and the best vegan mac 'n cheese I've tried in 10yrs of veganism. The gochujang drumsticks were nice, but nothing special. The tofish and chips again were nice, but a bit greasy. My omni partner and friend both said they wouldn't have known it wasn't fish. The 3D printed steak was DELICIOUS!!! Highly recommended the steak and mac 'n cheese. Portion sizes are very big. Will definitely go back here!

Mixed feelings

I was so excited to try fish and chips. Or tofish and chips. The texture of "fish" was really interesting. I would never guess that is just tofu. It pulled apart and looked like it had chewy fibers.
However, I am not sure If I can't digest greasy food anymore or if something was off, but I felt really bad after eating it.
Don't get me wrong, it was delicious, but tofu might soaked up too much oil..
Maybe share it with someone if you order it.
I might come back to try something else from the meny.

Pros: Menu, Delicious

Cons: A bit greasy

A must visit when in London

Such a gorgeous restaurant with lovely staff, options are endless and all delicious - to know your money is going to a sanctuary makes it worth every penny!!

Edit: Been 3 times now and will continue to visit whenever I get down to London!

AMAZING!! Don’t miss out on this one!

Fast food style dishes, everything 100% vegan. We adore their fish and chips. The fish is made from tofu and a seaweed sheet which is than battered and fried. Texture is insanely close to real fish. We come here every time we’re in London.

Also tried the 3D printed steak. Interesting but not worth it in our humble opinion. Quite pricy and pretty much tastes the same as the stuff you can buy in most supermarkets.

Friendly staff 👍

Great service and food

I ordered the tofish and chips. Chips were delicious, hand-cut and the tofish was incredible - so tender and flavoursome - I never would have guessed it was made of tofu if I hadn’t known. The mushy peas and tartare sauce were also great. Despite the diner being very busy, and quite understaffed, the staff were polite and affable, and it was really cool to sit at the bar and watch the hardworking bartender!!

Great Spot!

Great spot, nice looking inside and service was good. There’s also Merch to buy which is cool. Lots of choices on the menu - most of which is good, some are okay. Love the fact with some festive items, all the proceeds go to Surge Sanctuary! Unity Diner for the win!

Loved the steak

Throughly enjoyed my 3d printed steak, a unique experience. Topped it off with some ice cream and waffles. I think its worth trying for anyone who doesn't eat meat.

Perfect Place

If you aim to prove to your non-vegan friends that vegan cuisine can be incredibly delicious, this is the spot to bring them. The menu features all the classic favorites, from burgers to fish & chips – except everything is entirely vegan.

However, if you're watching your diet, this might not be the ideal place. The highlight, though, is the exceptional "tofish" (tofu prepared to emulate the taste of fish). While much of the menu isn't inherently gluten-free, a special request can be made, although it may take a bit longer to be served. Despite the wait, the experience is well worth it, and if time is not of the essence, it's a fantastic choice. Beyond the admirable cause, the food itself is truly outstanding.

AMAZING Fish & Chips

We had the Tofish & chips as well as the 3D printed steak.

The Tofish was the standout by far. I have never had tofu with that consistency. It tasted really good.

The 3D printed steak was unique. It was cool to try, but would not get it again.

The dishes came with far too many chips, felt bad to waste, but could not finish them all.

The cocktails were ok

Amazing place 👌🏾

I've been here about three times and I absolutely love it! I'd be obese if I lived close to the restaurant. The cocktails and food are amazing 👏🏾 It has a lovely atmosphere 😊
