Eat & Two Veg

With an open kitchen, red leather booths & Formica tables, you might expect to tuck into a juicy hamburger at this faithful recreation of an all-American diner. But as the name suggests, you won’t find any meat on the menu at Eat & Two Veg, only tofu, soya & what’s mysteriously billed as ‘a special blend of vegetable protein’ used in cunning ways to simulate meaty favourites. Choose from dishes on the all-day menu such as Not Nicoise salad made with tofu, Lincolnshire-style sausage with mash or a good range of veggie burgers. More exotic mains include Thai green curry & cauliflower tagine. Staff are friendly & it’s a popular destination for a leisurely breakfast – a communal table is stacked with free newspapers – though the eatery is also building a reputation for its afternoon cream teas & Sunday nut roasts.
