Great vegan junk food

Friendly staff, explained the menu really well. Food came instantly and was exceptional I would definitely recommend it if you're in the area. Great cocktail choice too.

10/10 food, drinks and service

It was so hard to decide what to order everything looked amazing! We ordered the royale burger with cheese and bacon with the 4/20 fries, the zinger burger with kebabish fries, the buffalo cauliflower wings were unbelievable🤩 all of the food was amazing and the staff are so friendly! I can’t wait to return. We also had a few desserts all so delicious (especially the brownie!).

Great food and fast service.

The food is amazing. I had salt n pepper fries (AMAZING!) with the pulled pork crispy seitan burger (I can't remember the name of it) 😅

Go on a Thursday and you can get 2 courses for £21.

I love this place.

Pros: Everything

A must visit

We have been a number of times. This time we got the Camembert, kebab fries and burger. Staff are amazing, knowledgable, so friendly and happy to help. Cocktails are tasty. We always forget to save room for pudding, but they look amazing. A must visit for a vegan. 5 stars as fully vegan too.

Pros: Fully vegan , Good options , Good deals

Pleasant vegan Chinese food

I had the katsu chickn with noodles. It was fine.
What was totally wonderful was the chocolate brownie sundae with hazelnut ice-cream. Made my evening.

Pros: Restaurant , Amazing ice-cream sundae

Their Hot Sauce Makes Life Better!

So, if its your first time (which it was) it took a while to get used to the menu: lots of options and options for the options. Once you clear that hurdle its totally OK/good vegan junk food...However!...they brought out their special hot sauce a little after the food arrived and life was once again wonderful! All the colours of the world turned up a notch and I was at peace with my fellow man (I liked it). I liked it so much I experimented with pairing it with the dessert. Nice!

Pros: Special Hot Sauce, Special Hot Sauce, Special Hot Sauce

Lovely service and food (soy allergy)

The majority of the menu uses soy oil. However, I was offered a tasty mushroom carbonara instead. They also have the apple crumble that is made without soy.

Great overall despite this, would've liked more soy free options and alcohol free drinks on offer like mocktails or cider of course.

Delicious food and great service

We had a fantastic meal here. I had the loaded fries Kebabish and my wife had the sweet potato curry. Both were amazing. If it hadn’t been a completely plant-based restaurant I would have thought they’d given me real donner meat! There is so much yummy food on the menu, I’ll definitely go back next time I’m in Liverpool

Straight forward honest Vegan Food

Got a delivery to our Hotel so I won’t blame them for the main issue we had. I accept we can have cold/crispy or warm & soggy sides. They choose to pack so it warm (understand that as if it was cold I’d prob complain 😇). The burgers were divine all be it a bit spicy for my wife but overall a throughly enjoyable take out delivery.

Pros: Flavour, Variety

Would recommend, the menu was completely vegan. The sundae was amazing. Book in advance though, as I had to wait an hour for a table

Food, portions, atmosphere

I think this placed ticked most of what we look for in hunting down all vegan places. It had really tasty food, big portions, and ample area inside to sit down and have a few courses without feeling guilty about taking up seats.

Spoilt for choice

An extensive menu of vegan dishes imaginatively presented and served by friendly staff. There were so many things I wanted to try so I’ll have to go back and work my way through the menu dish by dish. I had a homemade cucumber soda with my seitan kebabish. #Veganuary

Pros: Choice , Friendly service , Clean

Great vibes and great food 🙌🏻

Really enjoyed our visit to Down the Hatch. There was so much choice and all of it sounded so good. The salt and pepper seitan wings were my favourite part! The mac and cheese was great and so was the burger.

They had a great selection of drinks, we had the mulled wine which was part of the Christmas menu and it was so tasty!

Can’t wait to visit again when we are next in Liverpool!

Pros: Great food , Friendly staff , Lovely vibes

Cozy little vegan restaurant

This place is so good looking and cozy, and the food is very heart warming (mostly it's junk food, but It doesn't even feel like it). Definitely to be tried out!

Lovely Staff and Food

I wanted to start by saying how exceptional the customer service was here. Staff was friendly, and accommodating, and went above and beyond for us.

I ordered the Char Swoo Chicken with noodles and my partner ordered the Zinger Burger.

I enjoyed my dish, great portion size and the noodles were good. The burger was yum, but not rave worthy.

The venue itself is cool, and has a great atmosphere.

Pros: Service, Venue

Bit disappointing

I loved the vibe and the staff were super friendly. There was a really nice atmosphere, unfortunately the food let it down. Since the food should be the star of the show, I'm only giving 3 stars.

I ordered the salt and pepper fella (oyster mushroom) burger with salt and pepper fries. My friend ordered the royale with cheese burger (soy patty) also with salt and pepper fries. My burger was saturated in oil, so much that as I picked it up to take a bite, oil literally poured out. It tasted okay but that amount of oil is so off putting. I enjoyed the salt and pepper fries which randomly had some part cooked onion scattered amongst them. My friend said his burger was okay. He didn't eat all his fries as he felt full. He had several sliced chilli peppers in amongst his fries together with the onion. We weren't sure how, although we both ordered the same fries, that his had so much chilli whereas mine had none. The only conclusion we came to was they were cooked together and he ended up with all the chilli by chance. On a positive note the portion size was good.

We didn't try a dessert but the dessert menu looked good.

Woo Tan Scran a vegan Chinese takeaway is based in the same address and so there's an option to try some of their food on the menu too.
