Vegetarian Cafe Llanidloes Mid Wales

As promised I visited this cafe again to provide an update on the food,  also what is on offer for vegans at this vegetarian cafe.

Llanidloes is a very small and pleasant town between Newtown and Llangurig on the A44 mid wales.  The Great Oak is an ideal Lunch or Coffee break place for everyone.  Food is freshly made and they have a chalk board with the daily offerings alongside home made salads.

Unfortunately the vegan special of the day had sold out which was a vegan chickpea curry spinach pasty,  so I went for the vegan burger, with vegan coleslaw and side salad, served with vegan mayonaise and home made tomato sauce for £4.99.  This tasted quite good,  the burger was made from a dried mix with added vegetables.

For dessert again sadly they had sold out of the vegan cakes which was quite disappointing because the vegetarian cakes looked really nice, (vegan cakes are so easy to make so I do not understand why they are not all made vegan).  I tried the vegan flapjack, which was so large I was worried for my feet just in case I dropped it.  It tasted OK,  but I would have preferred a cake.

I had a vegan soya cappuccino which was good and Paul had the whole earth ginger fizzy drink.  There is tap water in a jug if you prefer.

All in all the food is home made and hearty,  typical of most veggie cafes I have been into.  I just wish that they would do more vegan stuff, which is why I do not go very often.  Prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is pleasant and friendly.

I have written about the Great Oak Previously, here is my review.
