Re: Vegan friendly restaurants in UK
Just perusing ale houses as you do, and found this one in Sheffield:
http://www.thefatcat.co.uk/foodmenu/foodmenu.htm
Offering vegan food and sometimes it appears good vegan guest beers (Sam Smiths and Pitfields), they also do holsten pils by the bottle and budvar on tap, which it appears are both vegan.
Re: Vegan friendly restaurants in UK
I like Kumquat Mae in Sheffield (353 Abbeydale road S7 1 FS. Tel: 01142501076) Its not exclusively vegan but there aren't any exclusively vegan restaraunts in Sheffield. The food is really wholesome and there's always something a little different on the menue but most importantly, the place has a really nice, laid back vibe. All sorts eat there.
Also..
The fieldgate Centre is run by David and Katie Matthews. It's not a restaraunt but its a vegan shop, cafe, Environmental Centre, Independant cinema, campsite B and B, yoga, pilates, art club... and much more...they're even thinking of starting a wedding package!! Its set on four achres of organic small holding and they grow loads of veg. It's located just outside the village of Fishlake just off J6 on the M18 (north of Doncaster) and a 50 minute drive from Sheffield.
The delux organic vegan chocolate cake is luscious!!

Re: Vegan friendly restaurants in UK
What am i doing up this late? Well, i've just arrived back from an evening in Sheffield, dining out with a young lady from this forum.... myself and Miss Mogg visited Kumquat May, not a short stroll from the train station, but a pleasant one, and entered a small and well presented restaurant. All the dishes are vegetarian and some are vegan. Upon wrestling to make my own decision over what to eat i decided to go for the nut roast main course, in a rich red wine gravy with veggies, this food was very good and enough to satisfy a hungry person, I did not have to pause for thought over dessert, as you might expect, and Cattmogg had already ordered my dessert for me with my main meal (she was wearing trousers this evening) the apple tart with vegan ice-cream was generous, especially as Cat couldn't quite finish hers, so i had to assist in a fashion that any gentleman would, and finish it off. Yes it was very good, one of the best meals i've had for some time. However, don't go expecting it to be cheap, it is a fairly expensive place to eat, you can bring your own wine and beer, and corkage is free, the people that run the place are friendly. Well worth a visit.
Re: Vegan friendly restaurants in UK
Good for you Lad. Why do you worry about the prices when you get to dine with a nice young lady aye? Did you meet Cloudy?
An oh Kev.. Did Catmogg drop the dessert all over you or something!!! Because you know she has the reputation around here for her accidents. The next time I meet her, I am gonna get myself insured!
Re: Vegan friendly restaurants in UK
You're right Kiran, you better make sure you get that insurance before we next meet up. You never know what might happen when i'm around.... although i'm not so sure it'll be accidental...:D
Oh yeah, in addition to Kev's lowdown on Kumquat's, the portions
are enormous and there's good world music playing too...
Re: Vegan friendly restaurants in UK
Just been for a trip to Sheffield, home of Gatecrasher, to meet up with Catmogg and Cloudius at the Fat Cat. Very pleasant food, standard fayre, parsnip nut roast, plentiful, and an apple crumble, lacking in nutmeg and cinnamon but pleasant enough. Good prices and Grolsch on tap. Enough to keep me there for a good day.
Next stop Blue Moon cafe and the Brown Bear watch this space for Kev's review.
Re: Vegan friendly restaurants in UK
Had a little luncheon with Ms Moggridge and Littlemissvegan at the Fat Cat in Sheffield, pretty decent fayre, Catmogg now informs that Kumquatmai does a Sunday lunch also, so that is worth a look at some point. The highlight of the event was a fairly good pint of Grolsch :p (of course it wasn't as i prefer an ale), Cloudy was still in bed after his Barca trip.
Airey Fairey is also probably worth a look at some point i reckon....
Re: Vegan friendly restaurants in UK
Was meant to meet Catmogg for lunch today, but stood her up (it's usually the other way round) well, that's not quite true, i was pretty late shall we say, and despite me running didn't quite make it, obviously, as she was not there waiting.
Suffice to say it was not my fault.
Anyway.... had the sweet potato pie and salad, delicious (but there wasn't much vegan choice for main course) and had a big piece of chocolate cake for pudding, that was pretty good, there was quite a selection of vegan cakes, it'd be good to go with several vegans and try each others cake treats.
This was all at The Blue Moon Cafe in Sheffield, 'twas very busy.
Re: Vegan friendly restaurants in UK
I recently dined in The Kashmere, spital Hill, Sheffield. Its not an exclusively vegan place but i had a vegan thali and it was absolutely delicious. It consisted of lots of little taster curries in different containers with rice and nan and there was so much i couldnt actually finish it. You could order other vegan curries by pick and mix too, ie. choosing from a list of veg, beans, pulses and combining them. Gooooooooooooorgeous. :) Yum yum yum yum yum. Indian food rocks. :)
Re: Vegan friendly restaurants in UK (other)
I've been TOLD to mention this place.... Catmogg said so... i'll check it out myself soon,
The Bohemian, 53 chesterfield road, Sheffield. Apparently they do some reasonably priced vegan food and drinks, smoothies! All the cakes are vegan which has got to merit a visit in itself, there are main dishes too.
catmogg says: tasteful surroundings, chilled atmosphere, down to earth, nice people.
I'll report back.
