    Excellent dining experience for vegans. Perfect for a special occasion. We had the crispy tofu starter which really set the standard for the night. It was delicious. We shared 3 small plates and a side - all of which were like going on flavour adventures. Really high quality food. Then!!! Lovely Stephanie, our waitress for the night, gently encouraged us to take a look at the dessert menu, and having never seen so many vegan options before we had to dive in! I ate so many things I’d never tried before and absolutely loved it. 10/10.

    I absolutely loved my meal here. Our waiter was charming and friendly. I had the pumpkin linguine which was excellent (if a little smaller than I might have hoped for). And the chocolate truffles were absolute perfection - so good I had to just close my eyes and let every bite dissolve in chocolatey heaven in my mouth.

    Relaxing atmosphere, peaceful and beautifully presented tasty food. . Our waitress, Samantha, was perfect. I really loved my truffles sooo chocolatey and my husband his vegetarian cheese cake. Hmm we just couldn't get enough of the crispy potatoes. Great for us being a vegan and vegetarian.

    We were at a table where my chair was centimetres away from another customer at a different table (albeit 90 degrees to my chair) but as they all spoke very loudly it felt quite intrusive and made it hard to hear my friend.

    Wonderful dining experience. Friendly staff and amazing food. Lovely atmosphere and busy pubs just over the road if you want to go on to something livelier. The Clementine sponge is a must have. The staff were very accommodating when I explained that I couldn’t eat really spicy food and gave suggestions from the menu. Would recommend and will definitely return.

    My aubergine dish was only lukewarm although to be fair I didn’t send it back, but I think it must have barely seen the inside of an oven. We paid with gift vouchers and the server commented that they were old which I thought was a bit rude as there was no expiry. Place is looking a bit shabby now. Carpets worn and do with replacing.

    We had a lovely dinner here as part of a trip to Brighton. Fabulous harissa carrots, yummy cauliflower wings, a potato and beetroot dish and a delicious linguine. Staff were great and we loved our dinner and our experience here.
