They have a separate fryer, and their fries/chips are delicious! Delicious vegan and gluten-free options all around, including a full gluten-free English breakfast and the most divine BBQ jackfruit sandwich I’ve ever had. The gluten-free bread and sponge cake were quite good too. As a Celiac, didn’t get sick after and felt very safe! The waiter was also so kind.

Comida 100% vegana, especializado en hamburguesas. Las hamburguesas estaban muy ricas, pero la persona que pidió ensalada pad thai no le gustó tanto su comida. Tomamos tarta de postre que estaba bien. No tienen cerveza. Tomamos agua del grifo. El servicio algo lento Al ser vegano es perfecto para alérgicos a la leche Para tres personas, 68,9£
