Huns is the benchmark I will use from now on when visiting vegan restaurants/takeaways.
There's a few small things I would change but these are personal preferences and wouldn't be reflective of everyone's opinions. We drove down from Coventry this afternoon after hearing some very good things and tried the following:
Hot Hun Burger - Absolutely phenomenal. The seitan "chicken" is perfectly crispy on the outside with a soft, juicy interior. Seitan burgers can often have some chewy parts but not here! Cooked to perfection. The only small thing I would change is the hot sauce used; Sriracha is a very overpowering flavour and I think it would benefit from having a buffalo or vinegary style hot sauce like Franks or Louisiana instead. Again, this is a personal preference but it would be great to see a buffalo version on the menu.
BBQ Wingz - Ah vegan wings with a "bone", amazing! Beautiful texture with a sticky, sweet BBQ sauce covered in sesame seeds! I'd love some more flavour options (buffalo wingz served with a vegan ranch dressing would be incredible!) These were seriously delicious.
Gravy Loaded Fries - The star of the show for me! The fries were a little undercooked but that was soon forgotten about once I tried the INSANE southern gravy! Before going vegan I loved KFC gravy and chicken and seriously, the Huns version is better! The fries are topped with their seitan chicken which matches perfectly with the delicious, thick gravy. Make the fries a bit crispier and I reckon this could be one of the very best things I've eaten since going vegan. Yes, they are THAT good!
The Original Dog - The taste of the sausage is spot on! Loaded with ketchup, mustard, fried onions and good quality pickles - I think they were dill pickles so extra points for that! This was delicious and will for sure be a staple on my future orders!
Biscoff cheesecake and raw cookie dough - Biscoff isn't really my thing but my other half adored her cheesecake. The cookie dough is in the fridge for her to have tomorrow but she had a little taste and said it was amazing!
As I said before; this is the benchmark all vegan takeaways should aim for. So many vegan places are popping up and nothing I've tried has come close to Huns. I'll be making the drive down on a regular basis from now on. To top it all off, the service is fantastic. How refreshing to call up and place an order and be greeted on the phone by a SUPER friendly person who genuinely sounded like she cared! They were just as friendly when I arrived too.
10/10 all day long....
Read moreI have been vegetarian for the last ten plus years and vegan since January 2021 - and thankfully it's been a lot easier over the past few years to become vegan... definitely so if you have stumbled across Huns. I had heard so much about Huns from my friends and family and finally we ordered some Huns on Friday and I have to say - the food is DELICIOUS. These guys were kind of like a dirty little secret as they used to do kerbside deliveries but they have now (thanks to their hard work - and delicious food) opened a shop on Welford Road. We ordered the deluxe burger, BBQ burger and also the garlic mayo loaded fries - the cost was circa £25 which seems steep but the burgers are MASSIVE!!!!! I mean, I have never experienced a burger that you don't need fries with but Huns you can do without fries (due to the sheer scale and size) - although it would be rude to not have fries?! The food was delicious, the service was excellent (so polite, friendly and just chill) and the whole process was smooth, efficient and quick. I will definitely be returning and hopefully the more people that eat at Huns, the cost may come down (economies of scale and all of that jazz) but regardless - the food was BANGING. Will be back for more...
Read moreI went into the store to take home and it’s reasonably priced giving the times we live in but I’d say it’s still a little on the pricey side.
I got the Hot huns meal (£10), it’s definitely got a kick to it but it’s really nice and saucy. Only downfall for me was when I bit into it, I could taste the oil which is something I strongly dislike in all foods. The chips were amazing, crispy but not burnt and they were so fluffy. I think they’re one of the best chips I’ve had so far!! The burger itself was £7 with an extra £3 to make it a meal. The food was made to order which is always a bonus.
Customer service was great, I didn’t get a name unfortunately because I was too hungry to ask🥲. But he was friendly and gave me an estimate for the waiting time which was 15 mins, although I’m pretty sure it took less than that.
For someone that isn’t vegan and doesn’t particularly enjoy vegan food I would rate this place a 7.5/10. Would definitely recommend to my vegan friends and non vegan if they want to...
