Cafe Shrub - Blaydon

Useful to know, this place is here like on a good hiking trail in an otherwise vegan desert area. takeaway while covid etc., but well managed. good vegan rolls and hot drinks. option to round off the card payment for charity. 1 toilet around the front.

A lovely cafe with about a third of the menu suitable for vegans. The options available are also very good as well. We ordered a hotdog each with onions and garlic mayo, which were delicious and a very good texture and a sausage roll to share that was flavoursome but the pastry was a bit too flaky. To give us some energy on our walking route we also bought two treacle flapjacks and some hot drinks. The flapjacks were awesome by the way and the coffee and latte I'd give a big thumbs up too . I would definitely recommend a visit to the heritage centre and café.

The menu offers beautiful vegan options, making it a great value. Dogs are welcome, making it a perfect stop for boxing after a long walk.

Located right on the Derwent Walk and cycle path, this restaurant has a prime spot with a rich history. The falafel wrap was delightful, however, the sausage roll seemed a bit tired. The vegan flapjack and brownie were typical homemade treats. With ample seating both indoors and outdoors, it was a very pleasant experience overall.

I often go for walks in that area and sometimes crave a quick bite to eat. I decided to try the veggie sausage sandwich, but I waited 20 minutes for it to be made. When I finally received it, I was disappointed to find that it only consisted of bread and a sausage, with no other toppings. The sandwich was dry and lacking in flavor. While I appreciate that they offer vegan options, the long wait time and subpar quality were disappointing.
