This was one of the first suggestions to pop up when I looked for vegetarian options near me. A…read moreone-minute walk from my hotel? Don't mind if I do!
Beyond the ultra-convenient location, this pub offers warm hospitality, an extensive drink menu (including zero-proof beers for your N/A pub pleasure), and good prices. It was easy to find vegan and vegetarian options. I was torn between the veggie burger and the vegan shepherds pie, until a shepherd's pie went by on its way to another table, and I was sold.
The vegan shepherd's pie is a hearty dish but is not heavy. Made with the classic savory pie veggies (carrots, peas, and onions), this pie is full of flavor. Lentils stand in for the lamb, and there's a bit of tanginess (from something tomatoey, I think). A neutral, pure-white layer of starchy goodness helps ensure that you're able to get every last bit of flavor, and a layer of toasted vegan cheese adds crunch. It was super-satisfying, and I was sad that I couldn't finish it (like I said, generous portions--don't eat a late lunch!).
I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.
