My husband and I were visiting Chester for our 10th wedding anniversary and we're both vegan but usually struggle to find good food to eat where we live. We loved Shrub as soon as we stepped in. The ambience was cosy but each table had its own light so you could see your food! One of my bugbears is eating in the dark. The head waiter brought us a little card for our anniversary and also provided great advice on what to choose from the tapas style menu. The service was discreet and welcoming. The food was some of the best I've ever tasted while eating out - particularly the bhajis, tofu and brussels. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone- non vegans alike because the food was outstanding. Thank you Shrub team for making our anniversary so special.

Another great meal at Shrub. The food is out of this world, you can't beat the level of flavour in every dish and I love that it's all plant based. The restaurant always has a very relaxed vibe despite it buzzing with customers and diners.
