About Whale Tail

Tucked away off the beaten track in Lancaster, this is a fully vegetarian and vegan spot where the specials board changes often and the portions land generously — the falafel platter with chips, the homity pie, the bowl of hot stuff and the lasagne all come in filling and full of flavour. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, plus a garden out back that's dog friendly and an easy option if your child needs air. The staff are patient and reassuring with questions about what's in things, which helps if anyone's fussy or allergic. Food comes out quickly. Two snags worth knowing: it's up a flight of stairs, so prams are awkward, and weekday lunchtimes can queue out the door — book if you can. Leave room for cake; one slice regularly feeds two.
