Outstanding food! 10 stars for fast friendly delivery, taste and value!
Wow! to plant based food👏👏👏
We organised delivery of a box full of plant based meals to dessert…from Green Lion.
Now, we ALL can’t help munching on these high quality meals, they really do hit the spot, if your needing back up meals or even entertaining.
I’m re-ordering 2nd our and 3rd batches! Even my neighbour now wants to order a batch.
You won’t be disappointed…Highly recommend the home delivery service! 👏👏👏👏

Vegan pub food. Different & good. Quite an extensive menu. A good way to start Friday night out. Personal recommendation would be: loaded Mexican fries and chicken Parma on mash.

Vegan pub. Nuff said (yum).

Though a little bit secluded from the shopping central in Marrickville, this place offers vegan pub/junk food that is just too good to miss. The people were friendly and the place was aesthetically pleasing, with thematic decors.

I had the baja fish taco per staff recommendation. The tacos were delightful and tasty. They have a little display cabinet for their desserts and baked goods, which I will definitely try sometimes soon. They also offer take-away and frozen meals.

Can’t wait to return!

Eggplant was not too soft, and the napolitana sauce was excellent. This is definitely hangover food. It’s nothing fancy, but definitely gets the job done. Chips were on point.

So glad they have a store front that sells fresh food again! I’ve been supporting them through the pandemic by buying their frozen food but it’s nice being able to have it freshly cooked. It’s wheelchair accessible and has a few tables. The food is just as delicious as it was when they were in the pub & the staff members are lovely. Definitely worth a visit if your in the area.
Something I didn’t see and only found out when I got there is they don’t do the majority of their pasta or any of their pizzas until dinner- I think after 5/5:30. Didn’t mind though because theirs still a large range you can get without those options.
