    Excellent vegan tortellini in creamy white wine sauce, and 'lamb' rigatoni in spicy tomato sauce.

    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.

    Fantastic plant based food! As a group of four we ordered lots of small plates and thoroughly enjoyed mixing and matching. Very tasty. Desserts were lovely too

    Always great service and delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the addition of sprouts to the menu for Christmas.

    This was a special experience. Lovely calm ambience, friendly and attentive service, and unique dishes. We are lifelong vegetarians and eat a lot of vegan food, but this was out of the ordinary. Our waitress was very helpful and patient while we chose our order. The small plates were generous portions - an entree (perfect muhammara) and 4 plates shared between the 2 of us was more than sufficient. Delicious flavour combinations. My only comment about that is that quite a few have similar flavours, with tahini 'mayo' and chilli sauce, so it's good to choose a selection including other flavours if possible. The blackberry and ice-cream dessert was exquisite. And the bill was surprisingly reasonable. Next time we're in Chester we'll return to sample some other delights. Well recommended.

    An absolute gem of a place. Could not fault a single thing from the delicious food, helpful and friendly staff and perfect location and ambience. Really made our weekend finding this wonderful spot for Sunday lunch. Whether you are vegan or not this place is definitely worth a visit.

    The Sunday roast deserves its hype. Service is good, but slow because of a small kitchen that has to cook for 100+ covers, so be prepared to wait during a busy service.
