So today we ventured into Newquay. I’d wanted to try the Beached Lamb Café for some time now and I needed something to write about for my blog so it seemed like a good excuse!
First up, let me just talk about the menu. How refreshing it was to see so many vegan options, especially when the establishment is not strictly vegan or vegetarian. There really is something for everyone. My other half is not vegan, so it was particularly nice for us to go out for a meal and both be able to pick something directly from the menu that we can enjoy without being “difficult” or “fussy”!
The café itself was very welcoming. Whilst the front area was light and airy, we were shown a space at the back strewn with lots of cushions and beanbags, low tables, soft lighting and relaxing décor. Amazingly comfortable and would be a wonderful place for lunch with a small group of friends.
Onto lunch. The salads, sandwiches and sharing plates all sounded great, but we both plumped for a burger. We were given the choice of chips on the side or a salad with raspberry and mustard dressing. The latter sounded yummy but guilty pleasure won over! A little disappointed to see when it arrived that none of our food was homemade, therefore not too sure about value for money at £14 for two burgers… however, they both tasted great!
Lots of choice again for drinks. All coffee was organic and fairtrade and soy milk was available. There was also a good selection of teas and chilled soft drinks. The homemade shakes and smoothies sounded wonderful, with dairy-free options of course. We both opted for the pineapple and coconut smoothie, which turned out to be a fine choice - delicious!
Overall we both enjoyed the Beached Lamb Café and will definitely be back. I think our initial disappointment with the food was outweighed by the relaxing, friendly atmosphere… and lets face it, there are lots of other menu choices for our next visit! Would definitely recommend to anyone - vegan or otherwise. 4/5!
