New separate vegan menu including moving mountains burger food quality was standard overall, but the flower flower wings were fantastic!

Pretty standard family friendly chain pub in a relatively new housing estate. Staff were friendly and the menu was clearly labelled to cater to vegetarians and vegans. Menu choice was on the limited side for vegans (curry or burritos as a main) but the burritos were fine. Presently surprised by the dessert options, apple pie or chocolate tart with the option of vegan ice cream. No soya milk for hot drinks though. Given how cheap it was I can definitely recommend it as a regular place to eat out or stop by.

So, my mother and I decided to try this pub for a vegan meal. The waiter didn't know what a vegan bless him, but he really tried to make sure that our meal was totally vegan when explained. We ordered a starter that was amazing (for the cauliflower - it will not disappoint), but when the main came out, it was quite basic... vegan burgers and chips... that was it... and it has the similarity of something that was heated in a microwave, I mean for £20 overall (drinks, starters and nets) I shouldn't really complain.... so that I drink for the starter.

No garlic tasted on balm mushrooms on garlic bread, the chips tasted and looked like they had been reheated a few times. Salad on the cauliflower bites was dry and old, the raspberry donut dessert was so dry 2 of us no more than eating a spoon. Very disappointing, considering that it initially looked as if one had thought a lot, but obviously no execution. Even though they had a vegan menu online they lost them in the restaurant so asked us to go online to get our order
