Vegan options at All Bar One have gone from temporary to permanent
All Bar One focuses on providing a safe place for women to socialise
All Bar One has a chain of pubs with a difference! It was designed to be a 'female friendly' bar at a time when many pubs and bars were perceived to be intimidating for women. For this reason, the front of each bar is mostly glass and the space is open plan.
All Bar One aims to be a place for meeting up with friends, colleagues and family, to chill out over a drink and enjoy a meal.
Does All Bar One cater for vegans?
Traditionally, All Bar One didn't have many options for vegans, but all of that changed a few months ago, when they brought out a special menu to try out for Veganuary. Vegans and non-vegans were talking about whether the options would remain after January or not, and many were planning when they could pop in and taste it in case the menu disappeared!
Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get to an All Bar One before the limited edition menu disappeared, so I didn't get to taste the dessert, which lots of people were raving about! However, I was chuffed to see that they didn't remove vegan options altogether. Their menu make it easy to spot what's vegan, because they are marked with 'VE.'
This is what I ordered when I went to All Bar One a few months ago.
