Best Vegan Restaurants in Barkston Ash

"Hummus fans can now rejoice with the opening of the new branch of the Humpit in Leeds University Union this September. Previously a little-known secret tucked away in the Corn Exchange, you now have access to hummus bowls, soft, pillowy pitta breads and crispy, spicy falafel right on your doorstep. Although it’s little too pricey to reasonably go here for lunch every day, it’s not too bad for the occasional treat."

"This humble food stall amid the grandeur of the old Corn Exchange serves hummus with pitta bread (hence the name, hum-pit), plus falafel, all freshly made every day...."

"The Malayalam word ‘tharavadu’ roughly translates as keeping traditions alive – and that’s certainly the ethos of this charming Keralan restaurant, which you’ll find just across the road from Leeds train station. They cover a wide variety of southern Indian dishes, among which you’ll find some unusual treats. Time Out tip: Look out for crab cooked in coconut sauce, excellent fried lentil doughnuts and toffee-filled steamed rice cake."

"A post shared by Tharavadu (@tharavadu) on May 17, 2017 at 10:39am PDT. Tharavadu loves to shout out that it’s Michelin recommended, but I completely understand, because they wholeheartedly deserve their success. Their menu is blummin' massive and they are not sparing with their vegan options."

"A finalist in the last series of Channel 4's Ramsay's Best Restaurant, this vegetarian Indian is a venue on the up. Whilst sat in the smart lounge (opposite the main restaurant on Woodhead Road) waiting for your takeaway, you can peruse multiple framed newspaper cuttings extolling Prashad's virtues or watch looped footage of Gordon Ramsay putting Kaushy Patel and her kitchen team through their paces. Despite this recent boost to the restaurant's profile, prices remain keen."

"Prashad has a reputation for providing some of the most unique and innovative cuisine in Yorkshire. Its food won Prashad a place in the final of Gordon Ramsay’s search to find Britain’s Best Restaurant back in 2010. Prashad has also been mentioned in the Good Food Guide and the Michelin Guide – and was named Best Indian Restaurant at the Yorkshire Evening Post Oliver Awards in 2014."

"Prashad is a stylish and unique restaurant offering southern Indian and Gujarati vegetarian food. Prashad boasts that they are the only two star AA Indian restaurant in Yorkshire and were runners up in Gordon Ramsay’s best restaurant in 2010. The vegetarian food is tasty enough to make the biggest meat-eaters mouth water."

"You can enjoy authentic North African eats for budget-friendly prices at Oranaise. Their £5 falafel wraps are delicious and come bursting at the seams, or you could try one of their lip-smacking kebabs. Choose from Algerian lamb, Lebanese chicken or spicy sausage and it’ll come piled high on a fluffy garlic naan with fresh salad and lashings of mint yoghurt sauce, all under a tenner."

"Finally, this unique café in Hyde Park is a real taste of something different. Boasting a rich menu filled with Middle Eastern delicacies, you’ll be spoilt for choice if you want to try something new. It’s perfect for vegetarians and vegans as well, as they have a whole separate menu to cater to your veggie friends."

"While not strictly a vegetarian restaurant, the Grub and Grog Shop is still a firm favourite among Leeds’ plant-based community. That’s because it offers up vegan and vegetarian-friendly breakfast, lunch and dinner in an informal setting, with everything made from scratch (as much as possible) using local, organic ingredients. Grub and Grog also works with a number of local providers, meaning customers can buy the products used directly from the shop."

"The Grub and Grog Shop is a great shout for brunch in Leeds. They’ve got an eclectic menu that means you can stick with the classics or go for something a little more adventurous. If you’re playing it safe, you can tuck into crumpets, bacon sarnies and eggs on sourdough, but the real fun lies in their more creative options."

"Corarima, 10 Cross Street, Wakefield, WF1 3BW - Visit now. This vegetarian restaurant is currently offering a click and collect service every Friday and Saturday evening which can be ordered online. Abyssinian food is available in abundance on the menu and all the options are gluten and sugar free and prepared for a home feast by Ethopian and Eritrean chefs conjuring up the authentic taste of Abyssinia."

"The friendly team here at Corarima welcome you to join them in their vegan friendly, gluten free restaurant in the heart of Wakefield, and sample the sens..."

"FOF has a take-out only store in Leeds’ popular student area, Hyde Park. Their menu is overflowing with amazing vegan burgers, ranging from a bhaji burger to a cheeseburger and everything in between. Their cauli wings and poutine are out of this world, so if you’re not in a burger mood maybe just stock up on some of their incredible sides."

"The Light, The Headrow, Leeds LS1 8TLWith a dedicated and extensive free-from menu, Zizzi makes a great option for vegan Italian food for the whole family, including vegan mozzarella cheese."

"This branch of the popular group is located at The Light shopping centre, so it does brisk business with those doing a bit of retail therapy."

"This spot became fully vegan in 2018, and these days it offers vegan junk food classics like burgers, fried “chicken” and hot dogs. Their fire fries are absolutely unreal, and their churros always hit the spot if you fancy a little something sweet after your meal. You can eat in or takeaway from Mog’s, depending on what you’re in the mood for."

"All Bar One “is a stylish space for spirited people to meet with friends. We’re all about celebrating life and sharing food, drink and experiences together. We’re here from your morning coffee to those Saturday night Espresso Martinis and everything else in between."

"A member of the chic city bar brand established in 1994, All Bar One showcases eclectic European cuisine and an impressive stock of beers and wines. An extensive wine display showcases a wine stock just shy of 70 bottles, while the diverse menu offers…"

"A veggie and vegan paradise, this little deli-restaurant is strictly meat-free. Our personal favourite is the house Goji burger; a mushroom burger loaded with halloumi, salad and sweet potato wedges. There’s a sumptuous selection of cakes and little bits in the deli and even a breakfast menu, should you want to swing by on the way to work."

"Their breakfast/brunch menu is completely unique, with fresh fruit chia puddings, banana, blueberry and almond loaves, rissoles, frittatas and crumpets. Not ideal if you’re after a bit of bacon, but having tried their Tofu Nourish Bowl on their lunch menu, I can vouch for the food here. OPENING HOURS: Breakfast/brunch is served until 12pm"

"Since opening in 1990, West Yorkshire Playhouse has become one of the city’s most cherished cultural institutions. They have a well deserved reputation as one of the best repertory theatre companies in the UK, but the theatre itself also welcomes an exciting calendar of touring shows. From modern greats like To Kill a Mockingbird and Alan Bennett’s Untold Stories to classics such as Othello, The Grapes of Wrath and Dracula, it’s always worth checking what’s on at the Playhouse."

"Looking incredible after its total revamp and name change in 2019, Leeds Playhouse, hosts a wide variety of shows in its two auditoria, from musicals and stand-up comedy to drama and productions for children. The Playhouse also runs a youth theatre for young people aged five-19. The theatre has a restaurant serving an a la carte menu on performance days."

"The walled city of York was founded by the Romans nearly two thousand years ago, and has seen it’s fair share of history – for a time it was even ruled by the Vikings, and was known as Jórvík. Today, there are still many reminders of the cities medieval past. A walk through “the Shambles” is a must – a winding medieval street overhung by old, timber framed houses and lined with pretty shops."

"Day 10, 11 & 12 – Kendal, Lakes District & Yorkshire Dales Drive: It’s just 1.5 hours drive to Kendal so feel free to spend the morning continuing to explore Liverpool before heading north after lunch."

"For a trip to York or Leeds, you would need just under four hours. With your car hire from Auto Europe there are no limits, only those which you set. Enjoy your holiday in the UK!"
