Review: Vegan Christmas at Pho

Pho is probably my favourite place to eat at in the Westgate shopping centre. Yes it’s a chain but the food is fresh, full of flavour, and importantly for someone who eats out as much as me, the menu is fairly kind to those of us on a budget.

Review: Wildwood

I wanted to start my review by saying I had a really bad experience at Wildwood. However, this should come with the caveat that I visited the Covent Garden branch, and my experience may not be indicative of what the restaurant chain has to offer as a whole.

Review: The Cape of Good Hope

I noticed a while back that The Cape of Good Hope updated their menu and it included a host of vegan options, including a lasagne. My mind had been fixed on that coveted of dishes for some time, and when my sister (who is also vegan) came to visit, I finally found my reason to go and try it out.

Review: Victors

Thanks to the lovely Tilly at That Oxford Girl, I was recently invited to try out Victors, a Hamptons style restaurant on the rooftop terrace at the Westgate shopping centre, with a couple of friends. I’ve heard mixed things about the restaurant.

Review: Cinnamon Kitchen

I feel like it wasn’t that long ago that I last reviewed Cinnamon Kitchen, but was excited to hear that Vivek Singh’s Cinnamon Collection was launching a new vegan menu and was grateful to be given the opportunity to visit their Westgate branch and check it out.

Review: Spiced Roots

It seems almost unbelievable that I’m only just writing this post, considering I have heard and read so many good things about Spiced Roots in the couple of years it’s existed on Cowley Road (not to mention it currently holds the number 1 spot for restaurants in Oxford on Tripadvisor).

The Coconut Tree: Ultimate Sri Lankan Supper

After visiting The Coconut Tree soon after it opened in Oxford, it went straight to the top of the list of places I wouldn’t hesitate to visit again, or recommend to friends. Offering up fiery, authentic Sri Lankan street food style dishes, I counted up 17 labelled vegan options (yes, you read that right) on their current main menu…

Review: The King’s Arms, Sandford-on-Thames

On one of those unexpectedly beautiful hot days in late April, Jamie and I decided on a spur of the moment to go out for a pub dinner, and by fortunate coincidence The King’s Arms in Sandford had launched their new menu featuring a number of vegan options literally two days before.

Review: Majliss

I think of Indian cuisine as being generally quite veggie-friendly and I was happy to look at the menu online and see a long list of things I could order from (which always presents problems though as I’m notoriously bad at making decisions)!

Review: Byron Burger Part 2

You may be surprised to see me revisiting Byron Burger after my notoriously bad experience there last year. I must admit I was hesitantly curious when I saw that they relaunched a brand new vegan burger and an overhaul of their veggie and vegan options a couple of weeks ago.

Review: Quod Restaurant & Bar

This week I had the opportunity to visit Quod on High Street for a meal with colleagues. Quod change their menu seasonally, and due to the dining situation, I called in advance to double check they’d have something vegan on the menu to avoid any awkwardness.

Review: Brewdog

So I’d ordered the Hail Seitan burger, a BBQ seitan steak served with hummus and kale. The burger itself was very meat-like, so much so that I had to check there wasn’t a meat version of the same burger on the menu.
