My wife and I dined at No 12 for lunch. The service was very friendly and helpful. The tasting plates were excellent as can be seen from the photos. My wife had two different cocktails, similar types to what she would usual have, but didn't like either of them. They both appeared and tasted a little processed and lacking in fresh flavour. Perhaps a selection issue. Would however recommend the food.

Best vegan food I’ve ever had in a restaurant 😋 so nice and fresh, feels healthy rather than processed vegan food which I find quite common for vegan food in restaurants. This is my 2nd visit now and I already can’t wait to go again. The menu changes every season and they’re tasting plates which I think is a good idea because you try more dishes! The service is always great and staff very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

Visited in the fall, an my time here still lingers in the mind, they are doing truly great things at this restaurant, it is culinary perfection.Certainly a treasure for vegans and a real eye opener for non vegans, both will enjoy the exceptional dishes and service.It's worth going out of your way to visit.

Amazing food and drinks, couldn’t believe it was vegan. The cheese platter was delicious with the bread. Service wasn’t good, it seemed like they were short staffed. We sat with dirty empty plates and dishes from the starter all through to desert and it was still on the table when we left. Other than that a great experience food wise.

Excellent food and service / experience. Paying very little really for great well thought out food and ingredients. It’s a must for any vegans or anyone! The Brie and brioche was 10/10

Went last night and had the taster menu. The space was ambient, intimate and rustic (don't expect linen table cloths). The staff were attentive, enthusiastic, friendly, helpful and incredibly knowledgeable. The food was creative, interfering, delicious and well executed. The cheese was insane and tasted as good as any real non vegan gorgonzola I'd ever had. I personally found a bit too much sweetness in a few of the dishes including the main course. However I would return without hesitation. Fantastic!

I have to say, this is a lovely place and the staff were friendly and helpful. The food while nicely presented, wasn’t as nice as expected. The faux meat platter was excellent - shame it didn’t come with any crackers - the highlight of our dinner for sure. The other dishes were nice enough but our expectations were higher based on all the reviews we’ve seen online; some of the dishes were just bland (for example the pearl barley dish or the cauliflower tart) and we would not have ordered them again. Cocktails were delicious and not too expensive. Overall it was a nice enough experience but the place is a bit over-hyped.

The waiter made this place. Sure he had his patter down and we heard our warm hearted greeting and welcome repeated to others but it worked. Even if he didn’t really care he came across as a man who knew his onions. Actually he knew his Heritage courgettes, but that’s not a saying so I had to say onions first. He made recommendations and we were stuffed after. A really tasty feed. Would recommend to non veggie weirdos too to maybe open their eyes to the possibility that food can be tasty as you like without dead animals being involved.

I went here for my 36th birthday as I'd always loved eating at Number 12 before it moved to the new building. This was easily the best meal I've eaten in 31 years before and 5 years since becoming vegan. This isn’t just great vegan food, this is incredible food full stop. Only down side is that we were all so excited about the food we forgot to leave a tip and felt terrible about it the rest of the evening. Shall be leaving a double tip the next time we visit, which will hopefully be soon!For a tapas style restaurant, each dish was still large enough I felt like I could share a bit of each so that everyone got to experience each dish. I was unable to find a single dish that wasn't enjoyable, even the carrot salad that I turned my nose up at on the menu was actually delicious in reality when I tried a bit of it my friend ordered. I would strongly recommend the sharing board, the camembert, the king oyster mushrooms, and the potatoes.The new building is so lovely and had a very relaxing atmosphere and the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive as they always have been both before and after moving to its current location.Finally is worth noting that while me and my wife are both vegan, our two friends who went with us are not and they were equally as blown away by the food as we were. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.
