Our second site, since February 2024 we've been in Bournemouth spreading the joys of a healthier and more sustainable diet. Our focus is on making nourishing but indulgent food and the food we make is from scratch, never deep fried, and always 100% plant based meaning vegetables really are the stars of the show! We are also passionate about keeping our supply chain as local as possible and are proud to list the likes of local coffee roasters, veg suppliers, bakers, craft breweries, wineries, and social enterprises amongst our growing list of wonderful suppliers.

    If you could score higher than a 5 star then last night's experience would definitely have got it. From the venue, the service, the price and the food, this place really is amazing. We have now done two food events at the store and collected multiple of their too good to go bags, they have never failed to impress. The Curry Club menu was words cannot do justice tasty and the previous experience was a Taste of Vegivores Mushroom masterclass of culinary expertise. We still need to visit for the usual menu, I have been dying to try the Satay Slay Burger and the deals they regularly post about like Waffles Wednesday or Mac & Cheese Monday (if I remembered the days correctly). Could not recommend this venue enough, amazing people behind the restaurant concept and the food is glorious beyond possible description.

    The drawing room closes at 7pm and our on line booking was for 7pm so we were re allocated to their No 43 restaurant which is open from 7pm to 9pm. The restaurant has a lovely view out to the sea with a larger menu than the drawing room Great service in pleasant surroundings. The food was of a good standard and came out pretty quickly.
