Sherlocks - Menú

Interesting little cafe but feels very cramped and there are bearly any options for vegans. Updated from previous review on 2023-07-09

Sat down, waited 15 minutes for someone to come to the table to take an order. No visible marked vegan options on the menu so had to ask.

The Veg Panini at The World of the World was incredible. The prices are reasonable, the food is delicious, and the staff is very friendly. This review was updated from my previous one on December 11, 2021.

I tried the vegan chocolate wing cake, and it was absolutely delicious! The café has a bit of a chaotic vibe, so you may find yourself waiting outside at times. However, the interior is beautifully decorated and has a nice, relaxed atmosphere.

They seemed to be entirely unaware of food allergies. At one moment they mentioned that the bread contained milk, and the next moment they claimed it didn’t, which made me doubt their understanding of a vegan diet. The vegan option we tried was quite dull and lacking in flavor. They mentioned having milk, but we ended up not receiving any coffee at the end.

So this is on Happy Cow I see. Been coming here for years mainly for a tea or coffee but also a bite to eat on a couple of occasions. I tend not to pay for tea out anywhere as I think it’s a complete waste of money but I have to say Sherlocks provide an enjoyable and traditionally English tearoom experience. Food-wise, a red pepper and hummus panini isn’t exactly exhilaratingly inventive but it did the job. Lovely quaint place, an efficiently run fussy tearoom with staff who wear aprons. I like it but it’s not going to make the vegan wall calendar.

The cafe has a lovely setting. It's very sherlock-esque. There isn't much on the menu for vegans, and nothing is labelled vegan, but if you dig deep there are some options. Roasted veg and houmous panini, which I had, would not be my first choice, but was actually really nice. It had peppers and aubergine on. It comes with crisps, salad and coleslaw (which isn't vegan so ask to not have it) other things a saw, soup with bread if you have no butter, jacket potato and beans, toast and preserves and the fried etc are cooked in vegetable oil. Even though not advertised on the menu, they have soy milk for hot drinks. I don't think any of the cakes are vegan (a lot of gluten free). There is also a...

Lovely quaint cafe that was bustling with customers, and had barely any seating left. Staff didn't seem sure as to what was vegan, only when asked did they give a half hearted response of oh yeh it is. Later when my food came there was coleslaw (non-vegan) in it and with my coffee what looked to be a non-vegan biscuit, I wasn't impressed. Only a couple of questionably vegan options, they were questionable as the service seemed a little sloppy. Despite what I have mentioned about this venue so far the panini was actually okay but i wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again. I recommend checking out Java cafe and Sanders Yard instead if you are looking for tasty/trustworthy vegan food. On a...

As I walked into the cafe there was a very narrow entry and a sign said please wait to be seated, as soon as I got in people were ready to leave which was very beneficial for me as I could get seated, as it was a Sunday the cafe was very busy. The staff were extremely polite and friendly and I was seated in the back of the cafe, the cafe is very small and compact, the cafe has a welcoming atmosphere with interesting decor and style, when I looked at the menu I didn’t see any indications of vegan/vegetarian or any allergies that were in the food, I had to go up and ask and even they weren’t sure what was vegan, I only asked what could be vegan because of the reviews I saw people wrote on here...
