Boo! HNY (well late I know...)
Either I'm just getting better at finding great places to eat out now or maybe vegan food really is making it into our bars, restaurants and cafes more and more? Whatever, it's great!
For 2014 I'm opting for a new style of food review posts - I'm sure you don't need to read all about my lovely day out & how I met my girl friend and how we talked about the usual stuff - you know diets and men...! So I'll cut to the chase - what was the cafe, the service and the Vegan FOOD like?!
Where: Summersault - Rugby, UK
 |
| Outside, with strange windbreaks? |
Style:
Organic Veggie Restaurant Cafe & 'emporium' - classy eclectic, yet cohesive decor, filled with beautiful home furnishing trinkets. Beautifully done & with dining on a glass roofed top floor which is lovely. Far better than the usual messy 'rustic' eclectic 'style' of veggie cafes......
Service:
Warm greeting, friendly, helpful & knowledgeable about Vegan options.

 |
| Fresh salad bar 12 options. |
Food choices:
6 veggie hot dishes on the day, sadly all with cheese! Only hot Vegan option was a lentil veg soup. 12 different salad bowls to chose from though (8 Vegan) + 3 different homemade breads + plenty of cakes/bakes - 2 of which were Vegan.
 |
| Soup, bread, salad & lemonade! |
Nom factor:
Eating in: The soup was like a thick hearty casserole & absolutely delicious! Huge chunk of sundried tomato bread was also incredible (and they have Vegan margarine). I had 4 salads - Quinoa & herb, butter bean, tomato & cucumber & bulgar wheat with veg - sadly all of these lacked any flavour - some more herbs, dressings, spicing & seasoning would have made all the difference.
Drinking: I drank Fentimans lemonade & didn't try the coffee, although I'm assured it's good.
 |
| Salad plate, quite expensive for what it was. |
Took away: Some rich fruit cake - packed full of flavour & cherries (my favourite) - it was soooo good! The date flapjack slice I had a corner of (yes, really) was also lush - if a little crumbly.
How much?!:
Soup & bread £5.30
Each salad £1.40
and 5 pieces of cake for £11.00 + a mint tea bag for 20p
Other stuff:
Child friendly (we had a babe in tow), didn't visit the loos (constitution of a camel), made me want to buy home furnishings (could make it expensive), would travel just for the fruit cake (which makes me a fruit cake - but who cares...).
Comments:
Wish they'd use less cheese!
Go for the cake. (Yes it disappeared without a photo...)
Live your life by the sign propped up against the bar ;)
