My all time favourite vegan place - Edit
Every burger, side dish, or other main they make is extremely well thought in terms of balancing ingredients and super tasty. We go on a regular basis and often bring our dog too

Disappointing - Edit
No Sunday roasts on Sunday for summer and yet no information on the website to tell you this. We heard other people were disappointed at the lack of their advertised roast dinner too, don't know how they wouldn't realise vegans would specifically turn up on a Sunday for this and be disappointed. Having had a lovely roast a few weeks ago we thought we would return today. My partner was only given a brunch menu which was very confusing as it was 1pm and brunch had finished and it delayed us ordering. Once we eventually found something that didn't hugely appeal (compared to th roast) we then waited half an hour for food so it made us late meeting friends.
Read moreThe food was ok but unhealthy. My partner had a chili cheese burger, I had Korean tofu poppers and cauliflower wings with cheese sauce and we shared some chips. It was ok but not a patch on the delicious roast dinner we had previously.
Also on our first visit here around Christmas the "spicy" noodle soup was bland and the other (mostly Christmas themed) small plates we had ordered were not that great so we didn't rate it and henceforth had decided only to return for the Sunday roast as unfortunately the menu is all burgers and small plates with only 1 large plate that isn't a burger happening at any one point (on this occasion that bland laksa type noodle soup).
Deposit required to book. Then you feel you can't leave when you don't like the menu. This is what killed Harmonium in Edinburgh along with a similar menu of predominantly burgers.
Pros: Cauliflower wings with cheese sauce excellent, Roast dinner when on is good, Korean tofu poppers
Cons: No info about menus served on the website, No alcoholic drinks/alcohol free drinks expensive, They require a deposit to book a table.

My Fav in Manc - Edit
I am a reoccurring customer to Wholesome Junkies - they never disappoint!! From Hinterland Bar, Beatherder festival, to the old spot near Victoria station.. Delicious burgers and sides! I tried the classic burger with the gluten free bun recently, amazing. Prices aren’t cheap, but it’s well worth it as a treat, and great to support a local business!!

I did not eat there, but just answered the question that was asked.
Read moreIs it still Vegan??
Well, the bottom of the menu outside says "YES! everything is vegan and alcohol-free"
I did not ask, but as it says in the board, you have to assume it is true!!!

Perfect vegan treat - Edit
Been following wholesomejunkies for YEARS and finally visited. We ordered almost everything from their smaller menu at Piccadilly Central 🌱 we tried their ‘chilli cheese burger’, ‘cheeseburger egg rolls’, mac and cheese, salt and pepper chicken and fries, plus we tried their truffle mayo and their chilli mayo- this was SO good. Absolutely delicious, if I could’ve bought that truffle mayo on its own bottled up I would’ve. We even tried their desserts- I had the biscoff cheese cake and my partner tried the sticky toffee pudding.

Pros: Incredible vegan junk food, Lovely staff

Great vegan fast food - Edit
Tried these at Nottingham Vegan Festival and wish their restaurant was closer as the burger was really tasty. They had huge queues for their stall too so they're obviously very popular.

Delicious burger! - Edit
Absolutely loved this burger! It had a truffle mayonnaise on which was to die for! My partner asked to add some different things to his burger and they were more than accommodating! Would like to go back and try more from the menu!

Wholesome Junkies @ Hinterland - Edit
Second time at Wholesome Junkies in the Hinterland alcohol free bar. I love the relaxing atmosphere in here, it’s very friendly, cosy design inside. I had the Korean tofu poppers with mac and cheese, both very tasty. Deciding what to order is the hardest part as everything sounds delicious! I highly recommend this spot - also book if you can as it’s a popular spot.

The best in Manchester - Edit
This little venue is such a treat. Hinterland and Wholesome Junkies pair very well together!
Read moreThe atmosphere is comfortable and cosy with an assortment of things for sale in addition to vegan food and non-alcoholic drinks. I have wanted to try Wholesome Junkies for a few years and I am so happy that I finally got to go! This place is a must visit to anyone visiting or living in Manchester.
As a party of two we ordered the KFC burger, the Korean Chikn burger, a small Mac n cheese and a portion of chicken balls.
I had the Korean burger. I primarily ordered this for the mushroom element and it did not disappoint. They were deliciously crunchy! I am typically the type to ask for my burgers without slaw and pickles but I decided to be brave and keep them on today. I'm glad I did, all of the ingredients paired together wonderfully. A truly delightful burger. 10/10!
My partner had the KFC. She said it was crispy, full of flavour and there was nothing she didn't like about it. She was full and still had some left but HAD to eat it all. She gives it a 10/10.
We shared the Mac n cheese and chicken balls. We knew we wouldn't be able to eat all of this but we really wanted to try as much as we could.
The chicken balls were thicc and juicy with a delicious salty coating. The texture was very chicken-like which is something I like. I'd definitely order these again. 10/10
The Mac n cheese was also tasty. The pasta was soft which made it easy to eat alongside the mountain of food we had also ordered. My only critique for this is that whilst the cheese sauce was delicious, it didn't stick well to the pasta because it wasn't a thick sauce. Easily resolved by literally shovelling it into my mouth. I'd still order this again 9/10.
The food here uses good ingredients that don't feel heavy in the stomach. I was full, but not so stuffed that I couldn't move and I really rate meals like this! I'll definitely be visiting again. Thanks for a great meal!
Pros: Food is "light" but filling, Good ingredients, Varied menu
Cons: None, this place is perfect! Eat here immediately!
