Swayed a non-vegan!

Visited with a friend who didn’t realise the whole restaurant is vegan - said the gouda burger was the best he’d ever had! He didn’t believe me at first when I said it was a plant burger!
Absolutely delicious food and lots of great GF options for myself. Will definitely be back next time I visit Chester.

Pros: Lots of GF options

Amazing experience

Food was gorgeous and I loved how the menu was filled with lots of fresh food and creative ways of serving vegetables rather than relying on mock meats! Everything we ordered was delicious, arrived quickly and the service was very good. Everything arrived quickly, including drinks, and we were checked on regularly throughout the meal. The restaurant itself also had a really good vibe and seemed to be doing really well.

We would recommend everyone try everything we got!! Best vegan food I’ve had at a restaurant in ages.

Pros: Delicious fresh food, Fast service ,

Nice for date night

Lots of choice on the menu including fake meat dishes as well as dishes celebrating vegetables like veggie laksa. Good choice of booze

What A Fantastic Vegan Find

Shrub is a fabulous place and I will definitely revisit. Its spacious, has a lovely vibe and the staff are brilliant too. Ordered corn ribs with BBQ sauce and beetroot houmous with flatbread...Mains were squash, baba ganoush with wild rice and quinoa for me and linguine verde for hubby who ended with raspberry chocolate tart. The food was excellent, full of flavour and very tasty, we left clean plates. Highly recommended.

Pros: 💯 vegan, Great menu, Friendly staff

Incredible

I am never one to write reviews but I am so glad we found this place and hope many others will too. The food was incredible, so flavoursome, the BEST vegan restaurant I have visited in my 3 years so far as a vegan. Wonderful atmosphere created by the interior design, layout, lighting and waiters. My partner who isn't vegan thoroughly enjoyed the food too, struggling to believe this delicious food was plant based. We had a cauliflower starter we've been attempting to recreate since as it was so divine, we had no idea cauliflower could be so delicious. We enjoyed our evening so much we revisited the following day for Sunday lunch, which also did not disappoint. Delicious vegan food at such a reasonable price and wonderful staff/service. Faultless and I can not wait to return whenever we are able. THANK YOU.

Pros: delicious food, creative menu, well priced

Worth the visit!

We've been twice in the last week and both times didn't disappoint.
Portions are huge!
Tough to choose just 1 thing on the menu as it's all so good.

Pros: Great vegan options (not the usual suspects)

Cons: No kids options

A new favourite!

A fab addition to Chester's growing vegan repertoire. Spoiled for choice, I had the mushroom "calamari" wrap and some bacon cheese fries (and a cheeky pilsner). My omni friend (who was also very impressed) had to roll me out of there. I'll be coming back as often as I can.

Unpretentious, casual and great food

Should have paid more attention to another review... The main meals and starters at dinner are huge! We had mushroom calamari, BBQ cauliflower and meatballs (main) and barely finished.

Have since been back for drinks, focaccia and doughnuts at lunch, and hoping to go back for a drink tonight (last night of our trip).

Great location, lovely setting, and casual.
A bit loud for my liking as there's music playing both inside and on the terrace, which was a bit too loud.

Pros: Entirely vegan, Great location, Big portions

Cons: Music was a bit loud

At last Chester has a great vegan restaurant!

Visited 19 August 2020
A bit overwhelmed by choice and ended up eating too much to leave room for their awesome looking doughnuts. All of the food was fantastic and service was excellent. Will be back!

Pros: Everything is vegan, So much choice, Large

Full vegan menu!!

Amazing takeaway from Shrub during lockdown - easy to order via text and collection was quick & safe. Loads of options, all vegan - can't wait to try the full menu when they open up properly. Mushroom calamari and cauli-bites were unreal 😍🌱

Sunday lunch

I have only had a take out Sunday roast from Shrub due to its soft opening during the pandemic. The roast was really tasty though my husband and I both loved it and very much look forward to getting to properly visit Shrub when life is a little more normal again
