The Veggie — Restaurant in Bradford

We visited twice last year. The first time they put cheese on my mushrooms, despite me stipulating I had a dairy allergy, they claimed it was vegan however, as a lifelong vegan I know the difference between vegan and dairy. They took it away and came back with it scraped off, I could still smell the cheese. My husband ate it and I ate something in the car that we had with us.

We returned several months later hoping it was an honest mistake because they were busy and asked for our meal to be gluten free & vegan. They assured us their bread was gluten free and vegan, I asked where it was from because I have been caught out before and had gluten free bread that has egg in it (severe allergy).

I have no doubt we'll be back. That was one of the best meals cooked by someone else I've had for a while. Restaurant quality food in your own home for only £34. I'm a very...
