My wife and I visited here and ONLY had food and drink so this does not speak as to the gaming aspects of the venue. We had made a reservation and I am uncertain if this is needed usually but would expect it likely would be.
We visited here on a trip to Norwich and had pretty high expectations from both the impressive menu and also the reviews. Our expectations were absolutely exceeded by the quality, flavours, service, and presentation of the food. We ordered the lahmacun and buffalo oyster mushroom wings and the tomato and basil salad as sides to the burrito, and a double cheeseburger with sweet potato fries.
As you may see from the photographs the presentation was outstanding and the hot food was piping hot. All of the food had incredible flavours and the ingredients were clearly high quality. The buffalo sauce on the oyster mushroom wings was delightfully umami and slightly sour and the batter was light and crispy whilst the mushrooms themselves had enjoyable bite to them. The salad was light and fresh with good balance between salty from the capers and olives with freshness from the tomatoes and basil. The brioche bun was unbelievably fluffy and bouncy and the patties were robust, umami, and smoky with the cheese beautifully melted and an outstanding burger sauce that was very gherkiny. The burrito was enormous and almost overflowing with beautiful smoky refried beans, a gorgeously creamy soured cream and cheese with the rice and plenty of roasted vegetables. The lahmacun was zesty and vibrant and something I have never seen made vegan before. Finally the sweet potato fries were golden and crispy on the outside yet fluffy and gentle inside and everything that was meant to be hot was piping.
The service from the hostess/owner/bar lady was polite yet enthusiastic and welcoming and she passed on our praise to the chef for us. Probably the best ever vegan meal I have had on 8ish years of being vegan alongside...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI went here for afternoon tea, just looking for a vegan cafe while travelling. Didnāt know it was also a board games cafe until I got there. A nice surprise, and boy did it look well kitted-out for it! Shelves and shelves of games to play off the shelf while you eat, and a decent amount of games for sale there, too.
The food was excellent. I just had the chicken wrap (a lunch menu item) which was brilliant and refreshing on the hot summer day. They also did a peach iced tea special drink which also really hit the spot. Oh, and a little tub of premade vegan chocolate ice cream, which was delish!
The rest of the menu looked amazing. I might have to sneak back here for dinner before I leave the city in a few days⦠š
The service was prompt and friendly. The atmosphere was nice and chill. Clearly a very accepting and friendly place to be. The bathrooms were gender neutral.
Edit: I went back for another lunch, going for the main menu, trying the imitation beef burger, with some chips, a spider, and finishing with the ā deep fried Oreos! Never seen that on a menu, before! Itās exactly what it sounds like. Not bad. š
The food was amazing, but the service was a bit confusing. I thought it was all table service, but the man who sat me down didnāt come back to take my order, so after waiting a while, I went to order at the bar. Maybe just a weird day or caught them at a bad time. They were otherwise great and let me customise my burger by adding gherkins. (I was also a bit stressed for time that day, so I may have overestimated how long I was waiting...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreHorrible racist unpleasant restaurant. Shocking service Me, my partner and friend came to the restaurant as Vegans hoping for a lovely meal. Instead, we were made to wait for 45 minutes for food, With absolutely no friendly prompts from staff or apologies at all. We were going to a gig so had to leave after an hour. After asking for the food to be boxed and taken away We waited another 10 minutes. By this point, understandably, none of us wanted to eat as customer service had left a distaste, and our appetite far gone. We asked for one of the burgers to be removed from our order and instead of being able to work this out, in a friendly, professional manor with the manager, we were immediately told he would call the police if we didnāt pay for everything. I must stress we were the only black people in the restaurant at the time, and the delivery and sheer size of the commotion made both me and my partner feel as this had strong racial motivations. The manager proceeeded the chase us down the street like criminals, and then after pulling my partner back, asked to have a āconversationā which honestly makes no sense after threatening police action. I really donāt recommend this place. Even before this incident, the atmosphere was dull, under staffed and those who were there were plain rude and nonchalant. To add insult to injury a mushroom burger is priced at at 19Ā£ !!!! We all left seriously in shock, intimidated and of course hungry. Horrible horrible place. And...
