Nooch in Shropshire

Stumbled upon this little gem whilst sheltering from a downpour. We ducked into the alleyway for cover and saw the chalkboard. We had our dog with us and it stated that dogs were welcome so we went inside to check it out. Immediately the staff made a great fuss of our dog and welcomed us in. The menu was just too difficult to chose from because there were so many options. One of our party was coeliac and had the choice of almost everything on offer. When the food arrived, I had pad Thai and my wife had tempura broccoli with a side of fried rice, both dishes were delicious. I can highly recommend this place for the food and the very friendly staff. Next time I'm in Shrewsbury it'll be top of my list of places to visit.

We took my mum to visit Shrewsbury and whilst over there want to sample the famous Nooch Sunday roast. Really was delicious and good portions. Happy to have her see that vegan food can be good experiences too. Only regret was that some of the veggies were very very salty. Hope it was only a mishap on that day

Went with 30 people for Sunday lunch. Absolutely amazing vegan roast and veg and the cheesecake looked divine. The staff were brilliant and coped amazingly with such a big group. I left with a list of dishes I'd seen that I want to come back and try (butter "chicken" curry, tempura veg, pad thai). Nooch is a hidden gem among Shrewsbury restaurants.

Delicious food, simple yet diverse menu, great value for money - fabulous service. I highly recommend this place! Even if you are not vegetarian it's still a great option, decent portions for a great price.

Very friendly staff and an interesting choice. Of food styles, Indian, South East Asian and "Fish and Chips" style. We both went for the Indian style, a veggie jalfreizi and a cauliflower curry. Both were delicious and perfect size portions. We will visit again

Booked for Spanish tapas night and ‘accidentally’ ended up coming here another two times in the one weekend! The tapas was some of the finest food we have ever tried. Everything tasted sublime and is presented beautifully. Service is quick considering how busy they were, and very friendly. Nothing is too much for them. Other two visits we tried the banana blossom fish and chips with battered sausages and mushy peas, and then the naughty nooch breakfast the next morning. Reasonable prices for the large portions. We’ve booked in again for Spanish tapas night round two and have been looking forward to it all week. Make the effort to visit! You won’t be disappointed

This place is such a hidden gem, we visited on Sunday lunch time and both had the Sunday roast, there was such a variety of different veg as the sides that it felt like a real treat to have so much choice rather than the standard vegan veg options at most other places The staff were really welcoming and the atmosphere was lovely. Really quaint but inviting decor and just an overall sense of being able to sit back and enjoy really good quality food The banana bread with fruit and ice cream was honestly one of the best vegan desert options we've had in such a long time Even if you are a non vegan the food is so tasty and there's such a range of choice you won't be disappointed Portion sizes were generous and food came quickly Cannot recommend this place enough!!

Popped in for some lunch with friends - the service was fantastic and it was the best cheesy baked potato and slaw I’ve ever had

Nooch is, in my opinion, the best restaurant in Shrewsbury. I LOVE their tempura brocolli and their french toast. I often go for a coffee and some cake. My family always ask to come to Nooch when they are staying in Shrewsbury. It's brilliant.

Given the chance, I would give Nooch 100 stars out of 100! Me and my partner visit Nooch frequently, sometimes multiple times a week for either breakfast, lunch or dinner, often bringing our family and friends to share the joy of Nooch with. As soon as we enter we are greeted with smiles and friendly chatter, the atmosphere always being welcoming and wonderful. The interior is beautiful, from local artwork to local dried flowers and plants. I must say as well, they always seem to play mine and my partners favourite music too which is great. The food is always faultless, being the best food we have ever eaten. We’ve eaten in top vegan restaurants in the UK from London to Edinburgh, to abroad in Berlin and Barcelona. Nooch came along and absolutely smashed every other meal we’ve ever eaten out of the park! Head chef and owner Luke has many years of experience, leaving him with the most precise and broad range of food knowledge to create insanely delicious food. From grander dishes like Biryani, to the kale on the side or a cake to take home- every aspect of every dish is thought about with care. The presentation and garnishing is gorgeous, the whole experience leaving you questioning why the place isn’t a Michelin Star Rated restaurant! We have enjoyed many of their themed evenings (Thai, Chinese, Mexican, Henstone Distillery, etc!) as well as their wonderful take-out picnic baskets and wholesome Sunday roast dinners. My partner and I hold Nooch and its staff very dear to our hearts, treasuring every visit and awaiting our next as soon as we leave. Whether vegan or simply an enjoyer of foods and fine-dining level experiences, Nooch does absolutely not disappoint a soul.

I visited with my partner a few weeks ago, my second time visited (again for lunch) his third and I was so impressed with the food and the variety available I'm a vegetarian myself but my partner isn't and he's the one who recommended notch too me! Anything you order will be absolutely amazing, friendly staff with a cosey environment. Love it. Xx

We came for lunch. The coffee was lovely and the restaurant was nice and warm despite the cold weather (especially upstairs) so my children were lovely and toasty. Upstairs got a little smokey from the breakfasts cooking as the windows were all shut to keep the heat in, but the waitress noticed and was friendly and sorted this quickly. Also, we didn't really mind too much with it all being vegan. They have children potions of everything, which is really good because lots of places just do chips and beans for children. We had the breakfast which was very tasty, a roast, coffees and flapjack. It's a once a year treat for our family of four unfortunately! 😜 But if you aren't hit as badly by the cost of living, then absolutely go there more often. It's tasty food and bonus that it's pretty healthy and fresh.

The Sunday dinners are out if this world. They hold all you can eat nights every so often and I would also recommend going! Service is good and food is delish! Dog friendly too!

We booked with Nooch for our community groups first event. The food was incredible and they did a fantastic job of accommodating all of us. Would highly recommend Nooch to anyone looking for a location for meet-ups and events.

Fantastic food. I have visited many times for brunch and lunch, and had delivery and take out and it’s always been fantastic. The food is truly excellent and delicious, probably my favourite food in Shrewsbury.

Lovely waitress, excellent food! My gluten free husband was well catered for and he really enjoyed his dinner - so much so that we had breakfast here the next day! They were even kind enough to pack us a lunch for our journey home. The food was flavourful, fresh and delicious!

An absolutely amazing meal for a family birthday celebration. We had the upstairs room which had been decorated and had a special menu chosen by the incredibly talented Luke. The food was simply sublime and couldn’t be faulted other than to say we were defeated by the quantity. For veggies and vegans this place is like heaven. For carnivores like me you wouldn’t even notice that the food was all plant based - the bacon was unbelievably tasty and in my opinion nicer than normal bacon. Stunning Birthday cakes were also made by Nooch. Local spirits and the wine were fabulous, the bill was really reasonable too and the staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended

I wouldn't consider myself a fussy eater, but as someone who enjoys cooking delicious, real food at home, I always hope for the same when I go out. Nooch did not disappoint. Every mouthful of every course was more delicious than the next, we had tempura broccoli, Mac and cheese, pad Thai and the chorizo tacos followed by a chocolate orange cake with ice cream. Far better than what I cook at home! So much flavour! I would recommend each and every one and hope to return soon to sample more of the menu. Staff were really friendly and service was fantastic. Relaxed atmosphere, great music and generous portions of delicious food (and wine!) what more can you ask for!? Well done Nooch!

Easily the best food in Shrewsbury. If you’re staying over in the town or live here then this is a must visit. We go multiple times a month and we’re never disappointed. The food is incredible, we love the Nooch Burger, and they have all-you-can-eat themed nights throughout the year, which is all fresh and made to order. Breakfast is also great and served all day, so you can stumble in later on with a hangover and not miss out 😅 They even sold us all our Christmas dinner trimmings! Saved us a heap of time and effort on Christmas Day. We are vegan but know meat eaters that have said they have had some of their best ever meals here so whatever your dietary preference this place is well worth the visit.

We always have a fantastic meal here, we’ve been to most of their themed nights as well as a few times for breakfast and for their normal evening menu. Can’t recommend this place enough whether you fancy trying some new cuisine at one of their theme nights or you just fancy a burger. Everything we’ve eaten here we’ve loved. Fantastic selection of wine and beer as well as some excellent shakes. We are so lucky to have such an outstanding business in Shrewsbury.

Every seat in this restaurant should be packed from the moment they open until the moment the doors shut. It is the best food I've tasted in decades. Truly mouth-wateringly scrumptious! I don't eat desert usually - I tried desert because the starter and main course were so tasty. I love this place - I only wish I lived closer, but I will certainly be eating here every time I pass by. Thank you, and compliments to the chef!

Exceptional meal, nutritious and delicious! Highly recommend. Good selection of beer & wine. Friendly staff. What more can you ask for!

Exceptional food and run by super lovely people. What a nice experience. The atmosphere is warm, art is nice; visited with my sister and I had the nooch burger which was absolutely delicious and packed full of interesting flavour; hard to believe it’s all vegan...

Best Vegan restaurant in Shrewsbury!!! I have had the gnocchi multiple times and it’s lush! The Dahl and pad Thai are also incredible! Excellent service too!

My first visit here and I was blown away by the quality and taste of my lunch, the coffee was perfect too, not something I say very often. Lovely ambience too. Highly recommended.

Great food. We had the broccoli & okra small plates followed by pad Thai with optional sticky tofu added - all fabulous. The number of customer demands was at times perhaps a little overwhelming for the one front of house member of staff who nevertheless...

We've been here at least three times and every one has been great, the cauliflower cheese is a must! We left room for desert this time! For hungry vegans looking for great food this restaurant is a must!

Absolutely amazing breakfast! I had tomatoes, mushrooms and green on toast, which had a pesto style layer, it was delicious. The other two eating with me said their food was fantastic too.

Visited recently with my family, we all had a shared roast and then a selection of sides. Which is a really great option if you like a good range of things with your roast dinner. We chose the roasted beetroot, extra greens, cauliflower cheese and...

It's true this restaurant is finding its feet but the owners are very experienced and passionate about plant based food. They will no doubt become extremely popular as word goes round. This will be entirely due to the extremely tasty food and the helpful staff....

Visiting Shrewsbury to visit family and happened upon this little gem. I'm not generally a vegetarian/vegan (although I have dabbled) but to be honest, when food tastes this good, who needs meat? I had the vegan burger, which was succulent, tasty and satisfying, my wife...

Best creative vegan food ever tasted, as someone who is not vegan can’t wait to come back again. Food was packed with flavour and really fresh. Service was excellent!

Had the most wonderful evening at Nooch for my school reunion. Friendly and informative service. Spectacular food and delicious English wines. Thankyou so much … wish I didn’t live so far away. Shrewsbury is lucky to have such a gem!

Without doubt the best vegan meal I have ever eaten. The menu is wide ranging and sumptuous, the food was cooked to perfection and was full of colour, texture and flavour. I could not believe the blue cheese wasn't a dairy product. The ambience is...

After a great day out in Shrewsbury we found ourselves standing outside Nooch purely by chance. What a find! As the only veggie in the group it was a real treat for me but everyone else agreed that it was definitely a place to return...

Delicious ! we went to a Persian evening and were really impressed by the quality and quantity of the food. Really interesting flavours, we are not vegans or even vegetarians BUT wow we loved it! A plus was the service, super friendly and knowledgeable.

Amazing plant based food, perfectly cooked. Best vegan burger I have eaten. Great wine and drinks list. Very enjoyable experience.

Wonderful, freshly made, tasty food. Great service and just all round enjoyable experience eating here. Can’t wait to go back and try other items!

I've visited Nooch twice last week with friends and both times the food and service was fabulous. The menu is varied with lots of options to suit all tastes. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

Having previously visited for Breakfast, which was very good, we decided to visit for Sunday Lunch, we were a group of four adults and a toddler, we all decided to go for the Sunday Lunch which was is all plant based. The food was tasty,...

Had lovingly prepared small plates. They had 5 on the menu so between the two of us we had one of each. One spicy Chinese thing, one sweet roasted turnips thing, one mushroom thing, a dhal, and a dish with vegan black pudding - very...

We went to the tasting menu evening as a family post-Christmas treat and we were really pleased we did. The layout hasn’t changed much from The Good Life but fortunately the redecoration and new furnishings now makes it feel you’re dining in the 2020s rather...

My non-vegan husband and I (vegan) ate here last night. We echo the above review by Happy in Water. The food, ambience and staff were all fantastic. It was so gratifying to have vegan food that was interesting and creative and it was very pleasing...

Ventured in for a light lunch before the new year festivities start , we found the service was great and food very tasty , highly recommend

We reserved a table at Nooch for the taster menu experience because we were just excited to see that a vegan restaurant had opened. We were hoping to try some new food, enjoy the evening and, to be honest, our expectations weren’t that high. Well,...
