The Hub Vegetarian Cafe — Restaurant in England

A relatively unknown gem of a place on the edge of liskeard town centre within Liskerrett community centre right next to the end of the old cattle market car park (90p for one hour 1.60 for two). I think you probably could park in the small community centre car park up varley lane for free but I never have so not sure. It's an interesting and strangely comforting setting perhaps once having been an old Cornish style school building but not sure of it's history. Room itself is quite small but with a very high ceiling appropriately decorated in a homely style with some amusing signs etc. The centre has decent WiFi and toilets near the entrance.

The menu is impressive lots of beautiful veggie options from snacks to large mains and a standard hot and cold drinks menu. TBH I'm not a big fan of the coffee there but I don't think anyone is going there for the coffee so that's mostly irrelevant - I stick to tea or water. What I do go there for is the delicious, incredibly fresh and beautifully presented vegetarian food - the food there is consistently the best vegetarian food I've ever had and some of the best full stop and I'm not a vegetarian generally speaking.

Quite cleverly you can usually select either a smaller or larger version of your main usually about 8-9 for small and 10-11 pounds for the larger one. For 90% of people the smaller version will be enough and I expect two people of normal appetite could even share the bigger one adequately. The first time I went there for lunch I had the large portion and didn't need to eat dinner and breakfast the next day was touch and go. There's a few sandwiches which are about 5 pounds and breakfast served up till 11:30.

Beware everything is made and put together fresh so if you just order behind another table for example you might be waiting awhile for your food 30-40 minutes potentially but normally it's quicker and I promise even if not it'll be worth the wait. I know you can ring in for a takeaway and I would imagine you could order ahead and dine in If you were pressed for time. It's an amazing place and in a way a surprise it exists here - I recommend anyone vegetarian or otherwise to give it a try and if you like it tell...

Ohhhh so good! I am not vegetarian, just curious and wow veggie food is not what I remember. I ate here twice in a week (visiting parents). Each time you get a base salad which always changes with lots of colours, tastes and interesting bits with the chosen protein on top. So interesting to eat, you keep finding new stuff. Very filling (I had the small portion and even then couldn't manage a dessert - so sad). But not heavy like fish and chips (which I love) and keeps you filled for hpurs (unlike Chinese food). The pot of tea for two is sufficient for 6 cups. Excellent value. The entrance to the community centre is a bit off-putting but don't worry. The cafe is a little oasis of colour and culinary delights (couldn't resist a bit of alliteration there). Such a surprise, which totally exceeded my expectations. And I didn't get to try a sandwich (stilton with lots of green salad and caramelised red onion - yes please). I will definitely be back and in the meantime have been inspired to do similar food at home. Try it, but leave...

It's ok, but we were forgotten about in favour of other customers so it took half an hour to make us 2 coffees.

Someone ordered a Vegan breakfast which they had run out of, but then it's replacement was delivered as a non-vegan order. The lady double-checked that was ok, but then rather unnecessarily said "you didn't say vegan"... Except he had clearly ordered a Vegan breakfast, so he shouldn't have to specify that twice! Internal communication needs to be improved. I resented being made to feel that it was us who hadn't informed them, rather than them who hadn't communicated properly.

The lad who worked there was very friendly though, I'm just not sure why he couldn't make the coffees while his mum was prioritising...
