Nice vibe 🇯🇲 The small island Iced Tea cocktails 🍹went down well 😊 Service was painfully slow but it was busy due to it being Father’s Day (& hey nothing ever happens in Jamaica in a hurry 😂) The food was plentiful and delicious. The chef came and had a nice chat with us after. All in all we enjoyed it 👌🏼We will be back 🫶🏼

Vegan

Bournemouth

About the restaurant

Sustainability and nutritional is at the core of Twelve. There are no obvious vegan cues and most of our guests don’t even make the connection that the menus is plant-based.

Twelve is defined not by what’s missing but by what it is.

Twelve Eatery is where vegans, vegetarians, pescetarians, flexitarians, omnivores and meat eaters meet to try creative dishes in a good atmosphere with stylish interiors.

We believe great food and good music should be enjoyed by everyone!

We went to Twelve Eatery for a celebration meal. It was a great experience, I like their plant based and their considered approach to the food and drink that they serve. We were made very welcome, the ambience was relaxed and friendly. We would highly recommend this restaurant and would eat there again.
