Vegivores - Bournemouth

$$
Vegan
Vegivores started off as a street food business back in 2017 selling 100% plant based food to the Reading area.
Over the years we have grown into a restaurant and catering company offering delicious, nutritious and indulgent plant based food for weddings, corporate and casual events.
In 2019 we opened our first restaurant in Caversham, Reading, and in 2024 we are delighted to open our second restaurant in beautiful Bournemouth! We have expanded but we still offer our customers the same standards: that we create all of our recipes, we make all of our dishes from scratch here at the restaurant, our staff are family and we welcome everyone vegan or not to enjoy a meal with us!

Took my friend for her birthday lunch yesterday, I'm not a veggie but she is hence a vegetarian restaurant. I really loved the food, it was delicious, service couldn't have been better, we took up the recommendations for the food and it was perfect. Will definitely be visiting again. Forgot to say the prices are very reasonable.

Hard benches aren't comfy for any length of time. That's my only negative. The rest of the experience is SUPERB!
Business Response:
Hi Di, thanks for your recent visit and so sorry to hear it wasn't perfect due to the benches! We appreciate your feedback and in time hope to grow the amount of cushions we have available so hopefully this won't be a problem next time you visit- Overall: 10/10

We were visiting Bournemouth from Reading for a gig, so called in. Lovely food which arrived in good time. Waitress was friendly but very uneasy around our dog, which made us very on edge. She explained that she was a cat person. I just wasn't expecting it in a dog friendly, vegan restaurant.

Really lovely food, so much, we had to take some home as we couldn’t eat it all! The girl who served us was lovely as well, she was very pleasant and friendly. The only thing I would say is that the door to the restaurant was open as we entered, and it looked a bit scruffy, leaves in the doorway etc, It could have benefitted from looking a bit more inviting.
Business Response:
Thank you for your recent visit and we are delighted you enjoyed the food and the service! Thank you for your feedback, the leaves had proven to be a bit of a pain but we agree wholeheartedly with your comments and took action immediately! Thanks again, we do hope we can welcome you back again soon for more tasty treats!- Overall: 9/10

Really enjoyed our second visit here. The food is great and it is good that the menu is entirely vegan. Best starter we thought was the gnocchi. I loved the Boss's bowl main.

Lovely food and service. The only problem was other noisy guests so we cldnt hear each other!! Not a lot can do about that. Tofu curry was amazing as was the dessert and half price was a great idea. Look forward to seeing new menu amd coming again. Thanks Pam plus 3

Fab service and food. A little on the pricey side......£6 for one scoop of ice-cream.....ouch! Was hoping for a special gesture as booked for a birthday (added note on booking) but nothing. Overall, very tasty.
Business Response:
Hi Abi, thank you for your recent visit and we're so glad you enjoyed your food! We appreciate your feedback and are so sorry about the small portion of ice cream, I believe you were supposed to have two scoops and for that we can only apologise! We hope you decide to book with us again and we can make sure you have the fabulous experience we hope for all of our customers here at Vegivores :)- Overall: 8/10

Great restaurant with lots of delicious options. Really lovely approachable staff. Didn't feel the bottomless brunch was good value for money. Extremely small measurements of mimosa/belini. Slightly disappointed and will not opt for this again.
Business Response:
Hi Amy, thanks for the feedback and we are delighted you enjoyed the food. Sorry you were disappointed with the drinks, with it being bottomless there is no limit to how many you can have but we will feed back to our team to make sure they flow freely. Hope to see you again at some point.- Overall: 7/10

It is fantastic to be in an all vegan restaurant. The food is very good and the staff are very friendly.
The building itself is very tired and could do with updating. Unfortunately there is an air of decline about the place. The seating is uncomfortable. I hope this company can afford to address these issues.
Business Response:
Thanks for visiting us Clive, we appreciate your feedback. We are always seeking to improve and are always making changes, tweaks and freshening things up wherever we can and whenever possible. We are glad you enjoyed the food.- Overall: 7/10
