Redhill, Vegan Restaurant Guide

2022 Review: A “long-standing favourite”, this “brisk and friendly” red-brick late-Victorian boozer serves a “splendid range of beers” and a solid food menu[e]. One great fan and regular, though, feels “the dining room feels utilitarian and a little underwhelming compared to the bar”.

The “excellent range of vegan dishes” are “all up to scratch” at this inventive venture from former Jamie’s Italian chef Ritchie Stainsby and his wife Lauren, who started out with a tiny café in Houndsgate before graduating to bigger premises five years ago. There are separate tasting and sharing-plates menus, with gluten- and nut-free options.
