Vegan · Bristol
Proper vegan junk food, and Bristol families pile in for it — burgers, fried chick'n, dirty fries and mac 'n' cheese that even committed meat-eaters come back for. There are high chairs, a kids' menu and enough room to get a pram in, plus plenty of seating in a room that's been done up nicely rather than left bare takeaway-plain. Staff are usually warm and helpful, though on a busy shift with Deliveroo orders stacking up service can turn brisk. Order is the thing: the chick'n burgers with their pickles and sauces, the marmite butter fries, crispy onion rings, and shakes in Biscoff and popcorn that are hard to find vegan anywhere else. Two honest snags — the music gets loud, and it's not a cheap weekly habit. One regular calls the mac 'n' cheese "so delicious every time".
