The Potting Shed - Maidstone

The restaurant is lovely and spacious, perfect for social distancing. The menu is extensive with plenty of vegan options clearly labeled. We had a great time dining there.

During our visit, the restaurant offered about 4-5 vegan dishes including appetizers, main courses, and desserts. We decided to try the vegan powerball and sweet and sour cockerpeapot. The vegan powerball turned out to be spicier than expected (this was not mentioned in the menu) and it was missing the quinoa which was a disappointment. The portion size of the stew was small and the taste was just okay. Although the dining experience was not exceptional, we appreciate the effort to provide vegan options. The prices were a bit high for us, but the atmosphere of the restaurant was stylish and enjoyable, especially if you choose to dine outside. The service was decent, although we had to wait a while and the staff was forgetful. We hope that they will make improvements in the future.

There are many vegan options available at this restaurant, including sharing boards, starters, mains, and desserts. It's a refreshing change from the usual burger or chickpea curry. I will definitely be coming back!

Give 4 stars based on great service and availability of vegan options if there is not always a lot of choice in smaller cities. We both had the pumpkin soup, I had the cauliflower lentil cake and partner had the vegan roasts. They were not amazing, but the portions were good and food came fast. The waitress was careful to ask if we were vegan or vegetarian and knew about the vegan options.

Many vegan options are available here from parts plates, starters, net and dessert. A real effort from the bumps to curry instead of the usual burgers or chickpeas. Back!
