Visited for a birthday celebration last month and ordered from the Sunday menu. The first waitress, whilst she was nice, she was completely unaware of what drinks were available behind the bar and had to return twice to ask. I ordered a different drink than what I wanted to prevent her taking a 3rd trip back to the bar. A second waitress took our food order. After asking if the soup was suitable for vegans, she returned from the kitchen saying simply it wasn’t. We asked if they could make a vegan version and she said the soup was ‘just not vegan’ and there were no other dairy free/vegan starter options. A member of our group made a passing comment about unnecessary dairy ingredients being included in a tomato and basil soup due to frustration and pregnancy hunger following a long wait to place the order, which didn’t go down well. Later whilst at the bar, another member in our group overheard the waitress talking derogatorily about our table. I will say the Sunday dinner we did have was delicious and generously portioned, so we could not fault it. Presumably the response will be that they aren’t a vegan restaurant and don’t have to cater to people with dietary restrictions, but it doesn’t seem to be a logical business move to have zero vegan options for both starters and desserts, it resulted in 4 of our party not ordering a starter and all 8 not ordering a dessert, since the non-vegans didn’t feel comfortable ordering desserts without the rest of us. The main take aways from our visit were; lack of vegan starters/desserts and inexperienced staff (the exception being the more senior members of the team, as again we couldn’t fault them and they were very attentive throughout the rest of our meal).
