You don’t go to a pub to eat salad. Unfortunately for vegans, it’s often their only choice. The Cornish Arms is refreshingly different. The convivial staff welcomes vegans with hearty, moreish, traditional pub-fare.

The house favourite consists of “cheez”, “facon” and tomato sandwiched between two southern-fried mock-chicken fillets, served with mashed potatoes, gravy and slaw. The vegan souvlaki is also a standout choice.

The Cornish wasn’t always like this. Before chef Lloyd Kembrey joined the team, it was a stock-standard pub. Kembrey introduced the vegan-friendly menu after acquiring expertise at the East Brunswick Club. He also oversees a lengthy meat-friendly menu, divided into mains, burgers, pizzas and snacks. Our tip? The 14-hour smoked beef ribs.
