    An absolute gem of a place. Could not fault a single thing from the delicious food, helpful and friendly staff and perfect location and ambience. Really made our weekend finding this wonderful spot for Sunday lunch. Whether you are vegan or not this place is definitely worth a visit.

    The Sunday roast deserves its hype. Service is good, but slow because of a small kitchen that has to cook for 100+ covers, so be prepared to wait during a busy service.

    Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. Great staff who were friendly, chatty and attentive. The food was probably some of the best vegetarian dishes we have had. The quality, care and attention that went into each dish was obvious. We will definitely be coming back and will be recommending to friends and family.

    The 2nd time I have eaten here. Sometimes I feel that vegan eateries get decent reviews simply because they are vegan, but by any standard Shrub is super. A genuinely warm welcome on arrival and attentive and efficient waiting staff. Food was faultless. Not the cheapest but it is in a superb location. Already discussing our next visit !

    We had a lovely lunch and cocktails at Shrub. The service was excellent, attentive but not pushy, the food was delicious (as always) and the staff were very friendly. Very nice relaxed atmosphere.
