    It made such a huge difference to be able to choose anything on the menu that was vegetarian/vegan. The food was delicious and the staff were lovely too. Fabulous experience will definitely be back with our family.

    Great vegan food, including Sunday roast. Portions not large. Music too loud.

    My second visit to Shrub. ( My companions are regulars!) Biggest decision on a Sunday was do I go for award winning Sunday lunch or get FOMO about the small plates? Made the right decision. We went for 6 small plates and some cocktails followed by coffee and dessert and it did not disappoint! Simply DELICIOUS!!!! And service as always so friendly. Relaxing and delightful. Can’t wait to go back! We had the bhajis, tofu, frickles, padron peppers, artichoke wings and crispy sprouts. All incredible!

    Loved the venue and the decor, nice and relaxed and clean. Service was brilliant from start to finish. The food was amazing! Couldn’t say one bad thing about any item. We ordered 9 of the small plates on the menu and a couple of the mezze and it was the perfect amount for 3 of us. 100% recommend and will return, thank you so much!
