Twelve is a restaurant specialising in vegan food and drinks: the entire menu is free from animal…read moreproducts and all the drinks are free from sulphites. Most of the food is prepared on the premises, i.e. they don't buy in factory-made meat substitutes. The restaurant itself is decorated in a modern take on art deco, in pinks and greens, with subdued lighting. There is a main eating area at the front and a smaller area at the rear, past the bar area. The rear area has a view into the kitchen if you like to see your food being prepared. We had the Twelve veggie-burger and a Tofu Teriyaki, followed by the chocolate torte, the dulce-de-leche cheesecake and a mango sorbet. The food was very good (be warned, the veggie burgers are very filling): full of flavour, and easy to forget you were eating vegetarian food. The puddings were especially good (the blood orange sorbet is to die for). We also had two alcohol-free beers and an organic Picpoul de pinet (both very nice). They provided tap water for free. Service was very friendly and possibly slightly too helpful, in terms of spelling out their vegan credentials in detail. It was also very relaxed - in the sense of being just a little too slow for us. But the overall experience was very enjoyable, and they were certainly doing good business (booking is recommended on Friday and Saturday evenings). The total bill came to £110 for three people, two courses each, with wine/beer.

TL;DR Decor, service, food all outstanding! Save room for cheesecake…read more I'm not vegan but this place makes me believe that I very happily can be. The first thing I was struck by was the decor. It feels a bit like Art Deco era Miami -- very chill, good energy. Then you meet the staff who could not be more welcoming, knowledgeable, or passionate. Never thought I'd be so excited about kombucha but their passion is infectious. Then the food. The food! *emphatic chef's kiss* We got the burrata, scallops, burger, and cheesecake. I was only able to get one pic before I couldn't stop myself from devouring everything. I anticipate that I'll be at Twelve so often that they'll start charging me rent. Worth it.

I have always found the staff to be friendly and polite. My only two little gripes with Cloisters is when I first went into the coffee shop I wasn't sure if it was table service or I had to order from the counter. This did make me feel a little intimidated to start with, but as a frequent visitor now it's fine. I also have found that the lack of card paying facilities makes it difficult when I forget cash as the neares cash point is a fair walk away. The cafe itself is set out in a quaint setting and appears very cosy. The tables are set out fairly close together but not so close that you are tripping over each other all the time.
