They are both vegan and actual vegan places are a bit thin on the ground near me. We did find a pub with a vegan menu last night, so that was dinner sorted. I had a Wagyu burger which was frankly rubbish, I much preferred the taste of the veggie burger my nephew had. Mine was over cooked, small, dry and pretty tasteless and it was on one of those f
king godawful brioche buns. I normally pick up on this, but completely missed it on the menu last night. His burger was much better. Service was fairly dire as well. They were both happy, I was distinctly underwhelmed with my food.
However, this morning was a much better result. They found a small cafe near me which has a really good breakfast menu, from FEB “selections” through to pancakes, syrup and bacon (which I really don’t like!). For everything on the menu, there was a veggie or vegan equivalent/option, which was pretty good considering it was a small local cafe.
I went full English (traditional, with meat), which was ten items for £6.95. The options were the usual suspects - bacon, sausage, egg (fried/poached/scrambled), mushrooms, beans, tomato, hash brown, black pudding and doorstep toast (from homemade bread). It was much better than my photos portray. The vegan pancakes were really good and the seitan “bacon” was too. I’d happily eat both of those again no problem. I’ll definitely be back with GF when she’s not working (she’s a vegetarian, but eats fish occasionally (I know, technically she’s a pescatarian)).

Menu (some of it, anyway) for info/realistic “northern” pricing...
