Nice - Edit
A small cafe with sandwiches, burgers and cakes. All the food is homemade which shows, but the selection is a little small as a result. I'd give 4.5 stars if I could

Great little vegan eatery - Edit
Pot of tea and a burger, delicious! I had the quarter pounder and my partner had the tofu burger, both were lush - all homemade, including the burger bun.

Basic fare - Edit
Nothing too exciting or interesting here, but at least it bears some resemblance to whole foods and the service was pleasant. My tofu sandwich would have been much better with about a quarter of the mayonnaise mixture — the pressed bun was actually pretty enjoyable. Chips were good, though not seasoned. Reuben was good, and the salad in the side was fresh.
Read moreSkip the cakes, though: neither of the two we had had much flavour. They weren’t sweet enough to count as a treat, and the textures were not hugely appetising.

Delicious burgers! - Edit
Clean and tidy little restaurant. Friendly staff and good menu. Suitable for shakes as well as burger and chips with everything vegan. Just a bit expensive - the burger and chips would be more reasonably priced at £9 or £10 rather than £13.
Read morePros: All vegan :)
Cons: Expensive and portion sizes small to average.

Seasonal burgers and great cakes! - Edit
Holy Cow has a wonderful changing selection of seasonal burgers, with highlights including the tempeh BLT and the vietnamese tofu burger. It's super close to the bus station, so easy for travellers to pop into. Everything is handmade from scratch and tastes delicious. The garlic mayo in particular is a favourite!

Tasty food but not loads of options - Edit
Food we ordered was tasty but wasn’t a huge deal of options - open sandwiches, soup, salad or burger. Service was lovely and attentive and vibe inside was nice but would’ve liked perhaps another option or two!

Holy Cow - this place is delicious! - Edit
We sat outside in courtyard on a sunny evening - lovely setting. Our group of three had the portobello mushroom burger, Vietnamese tofu burger and Quarter pounder with cheese. All delicious and the chips in their skins were out of this world. No alcohol on the menu when we visited - I had the caramel Frappuccino - wow! 😍 Definitely recommended.
Read morePros: All vegan, Delicious food, also appreciated by meat eater., Lovely staff and nice courtyard outside
Cons: None really except no alcohol if your preference.
