Hi, firstly what a great site!
I’m still pretty new to veganism and was getting a bit stuck for ideas, making the same sorts of meals all the time,,,,chickpeas in everything lol
We have a brilliant restaurant near us, I think it is a chain but not sure. It’s called Rangos and it’s Tex-Mex Italian a.k.a. Spaghetti Western. I love it and it’s fantastic for vegans vegetarian and the others lol.
Almost everything on the menu has a vegan alternative which are named Ranchless, they also have plenty of specifically Ranchless meals too.
The Ranchless Mexican lasagna is sooo good as is the Tortilla pizza, actually everything I have had is amazing 😀 I highly recommend everyone to go to rangos and eat your heart out hehe
Anyway I just wanted to query the menu of Toby Carvery. On the Portabello mushroom dish it says suet pastry so I guess it’s not even vegetarian?
