There are many vegan pubs in England these days, so you’ll have no trouble finding a good veggie roast, with all the trimmings (served with artisan vegan beer). Above is The Queen Inn’s vegan mixed grill sharer.
The Barn (Rugby) is a fully vegan country pub, serving good home-cooked meals and tasty ale. Dog-friendly (check, at time of writing yes). Hoping to be the world’s vegan steakhouse, it now offers a vegan carvery:
Choose three slices of vegan gammon, beef or steak. Then add in your Yorkshires along with veggies (glazed parsnips, cauliflower broccoli cheese, roast potatoes and more, in vegan gravy). You can ‘double your meats’ and add in extra Yorkshires and a starter for a set price. And for a few quid more, you get a third dessert course and coffee. Again, many ‘special nights’ raise money for a farm sanctuary.
The Spread Eagle (London) was the city’s first vegan pub, which has a seasonal menu working with local producers and foragers to reproduce pub classics like this roast dinner, with minimal waste.
Harp & Crown (Wiltshire) uses seasonal ingedients to produce a fully plant-based menu, with profits helping a local farm sanctuary.
The Roundhill (Brighton) is a very popular city pub, with a safe inclusive space for all, and weekly rotating menus in line with seasonal ingredients.
The Tipsy Vegan (Norwich) offers craft beers from local brewers, along with super vegan food.
an award-winning vegan pub in Wales
The Queen Inn is not only a fantastic pub in beautiful Wales that went plant-based a few years ago, but it has now been voted not just the best-rated vegan restaurant in Europe, but one of the top five in the world! This family-owned business dates back a long time. And rather than continue the tradition of serving up meat, it has instead decided to offer plant-based alternatives like realistic redefined steaks, ‘battered fish and chips’, vegan crab cakes and cauliflower steaks! The food is so good that people travel from Scotland to taste these meals!
This pub is both beautiful and welcoming (even visiting dogs get water bowls and blankets to sit on). The pub decided to go plant-based during Veganuary and it was so successful, so far using the vegan calculator, the pub landlords reckons their alternative menu has saved:
- Over 40,000 animal lives
- Over 350,000 kilos of carbon dioxide
- Over 165 million litres of water
- Over 350,000 square metres of forest
- Over 812,000 kilos of grain
