The best restaurants serving Vegetarian food in North West

It's about 3 years since I last visited - pre covid and wow how it has changed. The outside space had been totally transformed with fountains and fairy lights. The little herb garden is full of flowers that you can see have been lovingly home grown, not bought from a garden centre for show. And that reflects the food too. A great selection of healthy vegan food with care taken to make it look good before you even taste it. Great friendly welcome without pretention. I defy anyone not to love the relaxing outside spaces. I am very pleased to once again give this little place a big rating.

Good food from a well-planned menu which changes from time to time. Ingredients are of very high quality and the preparation and presentation are to a high standard.

Me and my husband booked a table for the Platinum Jubilee Jam night. It was a warm and friendly atmosphere. The restaurant is quite quirky and different, with mismatched tables and chairs. I love it! The food is great whether you are a veggie or not. We had Onion Bhajis for starter...the best I have ever tasted! Then Mushroom and Veggie Curry...delicious, followed by Ice cream sundae! Very reasonable prices too! The Live Music Jam started later in the evening, giving us plenty of time to finish our meal, first. It was a lively and inclusive event, giving people the chance to get up and sing or play if they wanted to. It was a proper live music gig run by a local band, 432 acoustic Duo, who provided instruments for the audience to join in. So glad we went! We will certainly be back!

I've been put off returning after contending with two other female customers sat at another table far to close to me who constantly spoke about some other woman's baby who although only fairly new born had been taken swimming! I also had bright sunshine in my face and was unable to get out the sun or away from these overbearing customers until I'd finished eating. The stairs are steep to climb and too difficult while carrying any heavy bag of shopping and the café can get too busy so crowded for my liking. It also once served me smoked salmon so it isn't vegetarian or wasn't then, this was a few years ago now. I've also been given cold soup that had obviously just been quickly reheated in a microwave when it was just slightly warm around the edges! I did return and mentioned it to a male member of staff who then let me off paying for whatever I ordered then. This was when a couple with a young family ran the café.

Meat free before it was cool. Barely changed in the twenty years I've been coming here and you don't survive that long without being something special.

The Garden Eatery is amazing in Hale! From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with warmth and kindness by the wonderful staff—especially Sarah and Kirsty, who go above and beyond to make every visit special. The cafe is spotless, beautifully maintained, and has a charming, inviting atmosphere. The attention to detail in the food is outstanding, with every dish presented with care and dedication. Their coffee is fantastic smooth, rich, and perfectly brewed. But the real star? The lemon raspberry cake loaf! It’s the perfect balance of zesty and sweet, an absolute must-try. If you’re looking for a cozy spot with exceptional service, delicious food, and a welcoming vibe, The Garden Eatery is the place to be. Highly recommend!

I visited this café to pick up a lunch box and politely asked to have my tomato soup replaced with a different kind, as I have an allergy to tomatoes. However, as I was making my request, a passing manager—a woman with an Eastern European accent—rudely and unprofessionally interrupted the conversation. She dismissively told me, “You’re not allowed to choose, take what you’re given,” and then said something in her language that was clearly unpleasant. I stayed in the café for about 20 minutes after purchasing a coffee and noticed that a large man, likely a relative of hers, arrived. He never approached the counter to order, yet she brought him a substantial amount of food. They sat and talked in their language for a long time during working hours while he ate before eventually leaving. Unfortunately, experiences like this—with such unprofessional staff 👎🏻—make me not want to return to this café. The only pleasant person from the staff was the young guy, who was exceptionally polite and always smiling🥰

Qué lugar tan encantador y qué hallazgo. Gran servicio, buena gama de cervezas y aperitivos. Tenemos un lugar de primera junto a un fuego de carbón, ambiente acogedor y acogedor. Buen personal. No comimos, pero el especial sonó delicioso. Tuvimos que despegarnos después de tres pintas gloriosas de cerveza... la cerveza Hobgoblin fue fabulosa. Bien de precio.

We have visited this tea room before when in the area. Excellent choice of teas, coffees, and food. If you have room, have one of the delicious cakes. Great service. On your way out, visit their shop to purchase some teas, coffees & provisions.

Been past a few times on the bus and finally got round to trying this today. So glad we did! Lovely food, really friendly staff and absolutely fine for wheelchair access :)

Lovely local cafe serving great coffee, snacks & cakes. We are regulars there most weeks because we like to support local business & it’s such a great cause. There was just a little gripe today, upon arrival for our usual weekly treat, the venue was closed for a private function. We joined many others outside equally unaware of the fact the cafe was not open also wishing to take advantage of MeCycle. If only the week earlier we had been advised of the planned closure we could have avoided such disappointment.

Myself husband and granddaughter have just left visiting here and to say we we appalled at the condition of the animals is an understatement 🥺...rabbits sitting in broken hutches no grass a smattering of hay, mounds of poo and green water bottles, chickens with filthy water, guineapigs with similar to the rabbit one with an ulcerated eye (pics to follow) we will never return again and a report will be submitted to the correct authorities. (Unfortunately can only post a cpl of pics for some reason)

There were tasty freshly cooked main dishes and an excellent variety of salads. The sweets looked really good too but the portion sizes of the main meal meant that we were too full to eat any more.

Con tanta competencia en el área de Liverpool para cafeterías / cafeterías, es alentador ver que un lugar le da un giro refrescante al concepto. El café era agradable con una buena variedad de bebidas presentes. Luego el escenario; Tener tanta vida aquí agrega una sensación tan relajante al establecimiento. No hubo problemas con la limpieza, incluso alrededor de las plantas no hubo problemas. Sin embargo, hubo algunas preocupaciones menores, parecía haber una falta de opciones veganas para un establecimiento que afirma ser vegano. 1 pastel y un puñado de bocadillos son estándar en la mayoría de los lugares ahora. Entonces sentí que si estuviéramos sentados teníamos una cantidad excesiva de vida vegetal. Una mejor distribución alrededor del café habría sofocado esto. En última instancia, la reseña de 4 * destaca que volveremos y tuvimos una visita agradable.

The Quaker Guest House is a great place to stay. The accommodation that we had was in a separate annexe in the grounds and was well appointed. The clientele tend to be of a certain type and it would appear that many have been coming for a good number of years. The food was fine but you do have to share a table with other guests and share in the conversation which may not suit everyone. Afternoon tea is served every afternoon and is complimentary which is a nice feature. There are extensive grounds too for the children.
