"There seems to be a black-hole when it comes to places that are listed with vegan choices in this area at the moment, so I thought it about time to give one of them a pop. We ordered the vegan fish (tofu) and chips, and the vegetable stack burger, with a side salad. I was hoping I could mash two items on the menu together and have houmous on a jacket potato, but they were out of houmous! (My inside vegan was screaming, how COULD they not have houmous! For shame, haha). The meal arrive quickly, and it was fair enough, if not dear for what you got. The tofu was just that, but deep-fried, it could have done with some nori to give it some flavour as it wasn’t seasoned, at all. I also found it a bit odd that they used silken tofu for this dish, it feels a bit like that time most of us have experienced early on in the tofu game; getting confused with firm silken, and firm. My vegetable stack came in a brioche style bun, which had me a little concerned, so I chose to play it safe with my allergy and leave it. This basically left me with a place of chips and some veg which amounted to just under a tenner, not that the bun made up for that. It has to be said however, it’s been ages since I’ve had chips and they were really tasty! The atmosphere was really lively, and despite it being 4:30pm on a Friday, there wouldn’t have been space for us if we hadn’t booked, so keep that in mind if you’re planning a visit. I’m thrilled that a pub like this is offering several vegan options, I just feel they need a little more thought than whacking some veg in a bun and plain tofu in the fryer. (talking of which, we asked about the tofu, and the vegetables, and tofu are fried separate to the meat, but I’d ask yourself if you want to be sure)."
