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!

Lui's Plaice - Fish & Chips
100 High Street, NP12 1AF

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.
