When…read morethere's only enough time to do so much but you're hungry, you'll be in and out of the Alternative Tuck Shop in no time. The shop is TINY and there's only room for a few people in there at a time. I suggest grabbing a menu outside and then deciding before you make it inside. I had the Chicken Curry sandwich and it was so delicious I dove straight in and didn't even take a photo. Portions are generous. One thing you should plan ahead for is a place to sit if you choose not to walk and eat. Unfortunately, the Alternative Tuck Shop doesn't have any seating indoors or outdoors. Highly recommend this spot!!

Inside the tight quarters, the choices were well marked so ordering and payment was easy enough. After ordering they bring it out to you back outside.

Their waitstaff was friendly and courteous. Food-wise, I wasn't too impressed. I ordered the steak and rarebit pie, which I hate to say, tasted really weird. It tasted as though the meat had been preserved for some time and became slightly rancid. I still ate it all anyway, and thankfully I didn't feel weird after the dinner, but it just wasn't that palatable. There was also a side of what seemed to be some carrot potato salad with some greens (not a whole lot). This was kind of mushy and weird for me. The green juice was refreshing, but it just came in a small bottled glass, so there wasn't a whole lot of it to drink. At least it's a great place for a large group if you need to seat a huge party.

If you let them know about any dietary restrictions that you have, they'll bring out a manager to talk to you. It's nice that they care this much, instead of brushing it off! It's also got a nice, cosy ambiance. A great place to catch up with friends!

They have breakfast and lunch options but we only came by for baked goods and coffee. I wasn't a coffee drinker then, but I remember thoroughly enjoying my croissant, as well as the tart I took back to savor later. It's a cute, homey place, easy to stop in and out of if you're in a rush, but comfortable enough to spend some time hanging out if you're in need of a more relaxed visit.

In fact, somehow it manages to avoid all the late-night drunk student/lager lout crowd. They don't belong here, it's just too classy. The staff deliver generous portions, and free warm Turkish bread for starters, which is always welcome. The service is unbelievably good, friendly, and it's run by people who really do have passion for their cuisine, and are eager to leave every customer satisfied. If you ask them, they'll even bring you Turkish tea afterwards, although it would be nice if it was served in small Turkish glasses rather than over-sized Coffee cups. I highly recommend Cowley Road's legendary Bodrum Kebab restaurant!

This location in particular was always neatly kept and had friendly staff. It sort of reminds me of a classier Zaxby's with a focus on grilled, spiced chicken rather than fried. I'm not a big wing fan so I usually got a chicken plate with a breast or thigh. Younger me was much more spicy-averse, and even though Nando's is known for its manageably spicy Peri-peri chicken, you can still find plenty to eat here even if you're the type to find mayonnaise too intense, lol.

I think it's a great concept - healthy food at affordable prices!…read more For example, breakfast pot and a coffee were £4.99. Also was asked if I were a student, which probably means they have a student discount. The only hiccup was that after I ordered my pot, in 10 minutes I was told that the oven is broken and I would get my pot in 10 min. Spoiler - 10 min turned into almost half an hour. To be fair, they gave me another pot (I think it was English breakfast) in the meantime, so I am not overly upset. However, if I was in a rush it could have been an issue.

I ordered the vegetarian burger which is made of beets and grains and comes with cheese and lettuce. It was okay.. The bread was decent but the flavor of the burger itself was not mind blowing. For the sides I had. The fries, witch were good and the hummus with pita bread which was a little disappointed. The bread was cold and crumbly and the hummus did not have a lot of flavor. We also tried some of their specialty drinks (Goji Berry tea) which was a little too sweet for my taste. For dessert we had a little pastry which was really greasy and bland. I will probably try different menu items in the future because i believe there is a lot of promise on the concept and I just ordered the wrong things.
