The Hereward - Ely

This affordable and cheerful chain pub offers an impressive variety of vegan options. The staff were wonderful. While the food we tried was decent, it wasn't the highest quality. However, considering the low prices, it was fair value for the money.

My friend ordered the four-times soy burger with Violife cheese slices, and I had the meat-free tikka masala. Both dishes were absolutely delightful! I had to check three times to make sure mine was vegan because it tasted and looked so similar to chicken—it was both a blessing and a curse. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick. There was a good selection of vegan options available, and it was great to see vegan dessert choices as well. The atmosphere was a step up from a Wetherspoons, with nice music playing and beautiful decorations throughout.

This is a fantastic pub that may seem geared towards sports enthusiasts, but on days without major games (which is most of the year), it becomes an excellent family-friendly dining spot. They offer a great selection of classic pub dishes, all well-prepared. For added convenience, you can also place your order through an app if you prefer a contactless experience.
