User Comments:
AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!
I ordered a five bean chilli, when it came i was instantly dubious of the meal and ask the waiter to check with the kitchen if it was in fact the five bean chilli. He told me it was. I began to eat my food , and i could instantly tell this was not a meat substitute in my food. I called over another waiter and asked if it was meat. He confirmed it was. So after checking if it was in fact what I ordered I was duped into eating something that was of animal product. As you all are probably aware this was a really upsetting experience! I had to go and vomit immediately and left the premises. PLEASE AVOID!

They are not vegan compliant as it is impractical to keep a pan animal product free due to the high volume throughput. However if given a bit of notice they can provide vegan friendly chips. The owner understands the vegan diet.

They can cater for vegans with prior notice, for example with risotto. However a vegan diner here had to send back their meal twice before it was suitable.

Staff here informed our researcher that they don't think they provide anything suitable for vegans. No soya milk available either.
Nothing is suitable for vegans.
The owner is very negative about catering for vegans and has basically said they should not come here for food.
