Super place for a fully vegetarian menu. It was packed on a weekday lunchtime and people were queuing out of the door but the queue moved fairly quickly. Tip: reserve a table in advance if you can. Up a flight of stairs. Menu seems to be based on Specials that keep changing.
Lovely choice on the menu and the food that arrived was much bigger than expected! Very tasty and very filling. Anyone who thinks vegetarian food is boring needs to visit this place, and lots of other eateries could learn a lot from here about vegetarian options. This is a great independent business that should be supported.
Nice down to earth place, with a nice selection of beers and food. I'd highly recommend the homity pie. Very warming and filling. Looking forward to coming back soon.
