So much more than words can transmit - Edit
One of the ultimate stand out vegan places I’ve ever been to in my life. The three of us had their famous £22 Sunday Roast extravaganza each selecting a different meat (roast chicken, lamb and turkey). You are also provided with a Yorkshire Pudding then it’s self-service vegetables and all the usual trimmings such as sauces, stuffing and lashings of gravy. I had a bit of everything, piled my plate high then proceeded to devour the whole feast with a pint of their delicious Posh Lager overlooking Petticoat Lane Market. Not a bad way to spend an early Sunday afternoon before hitting The Oval for some T20 cricket action.

Beautiful, non profit, tasty, kid friendly - Edit
I’ve followed Earthling Ed for at least a year now. When I was traveling through London and saw he had opened not only a restaurant, but a non-profit restaurant I knew I had to stop in and support it. The food was amazing! Fish and chips that actually tasted like fish and chips! 🤤 I was bummed when I thought I would be visiting London and missing out on it’s “signature dish” but thankfully Ed had my back.
Read moreMy children were accepted and the staff even made efforts to talk to them just as they would adults (thanks Ali), which hit my mom heart! Not to mention my kids ate until “my stomach is going to explode”
The only small complaint is that because it was so new at the time of my visit it didn’t have it’s liquor license yet but didn’t have it on the menu that it was temporarily unavailable.
Pros: Biodegradable take away bins, Friendly , Puts it’s profits where it’s mouth is

Delicious food, great concept - Edit
We went there at 12pm, looking for breakfast and were quite disappointed they do not offer that anymore. But our alternative choices were actually really nice - we had the VFC burger and a huge hot dog with a side of crunchy fries. Everything tasted very good - the sausage was quite meat-like (almost too real for me). The fries were super tasty. For drinks we had a chai tea which was flavorful and creamy - the flavor reminded me of the chai at Starbucks which I used to drink years ago (which has honey in it). Also had a hot chocolate - absolutely delicious, comes with whipped cream and marshmallows, a real treat (and my dessert). The concept is great too, with all profits going to charities and a very sustainable approach to everything. Also loved the big neon sign "The future is vegan" on the wall, overall really cool interior design and friendly staff. Definitely recommend this place.

Great burger - Edit
Had the mountain burger with chips and the wife had the mac and cheese. Both really nice. Great choice of meals. Everything is cooked to order and nothing is precooked, so bring time, definitely not fast food. I only wish they bring back the full English.

The food was great, cocktails beautiful. You need a reservation to get a table on busier nights. We had a fried chicken sandwich and the Mac and cheese. Both fantastic. Only not getting 5 stars because the reservation situation.

The place to go for english confort food all vegan - Edit
Highly recommend to to have a meal.
Read moreFor our last meal in London we cross the city west to east just to support Unity and try real english dishes vegan
So amazed how busy it was that gave us so much joy to see a vegan restaurant doing so well and with so many nice staff. Have to hive a big thanks to Ali. The food was very generous and really disturbing when you are s vegan gor so long to try these very traditional dishes / confort food in vegan version, Unity nails it, with this tofish & chips, look like a fish fried and taste almost like it, i am vegan for 9 years so i sm maybe the right person to make the comparaison
For sure it is the perfect place to bring the meat lovers and show them they csn eat the same without the suffering of any animals.
Thankful we had that meal at Unity.
Pros: Vegan confort food tasty better than meat confort, Generous portion, Nice staff
Cons: Only confort food missing more green on the menu , Better reserving ahead it is a busy vegan place

Disappointing - Edit
Read moreI really wanted to love this place, especially as the profits go to animal campaign work, but I was disappointed. I think its great for people who like meat substitutes but not all vegans want that, so some options that don’t mimic meat would be great. The tofu fish and chips was great, the taste and texture were very realistic. The decor was great too.
Pros: Realistic meat / fish substitutes, Decor, Profits go to animal campaigns
Cons: All meat substitutes

The best Tofish in London - Edit
Have the tofish and chips. Ask for the chips without paprika. Enjoy!
Read moreFor dessert I had the signature baked cheesecake it was delicious! It was creamy and amazing but SMALL. Have two slices or order the substantially bigger chocolate salted caramel cake. You won't regret it.

Amazing food and experience - Edit
ent there for lunch by myself and everything was great. I ordered crispy mozzarella sticks, they were delicious and the sauce was insane. Then I got a Hot dog with bacon and Mac 'n cheese, it was Heaven. The flavours and textures were mind blowing. I had the salted caramel cake for dessert and It was crunchy but soft and, great cake. The portion sizes were good too.

Brilliant birthday lunch - Edit
Three of us went for a birthday Sunday lunch, two vegans, the other with multiple rare and severe allergies. The staff could not have been more helpful with the allergies, and the chefs even made two different replacement sauces. Friendly, helpful but relaxed even though it was obviously busy. The food was great. Two different burgers and prawnz plus fries. We saw the desserts and would have loved to try them but were far too full. Thinking of returning to eat dessert only! Not cheap but I would prefer to go out less frequently and support an organisation like this. Looking forward eagerly to our next visit. Thank you!

Brilliant food - Edit
Went for lunch with friends and shared starters, a salad and both kinds of fries. Everything was really tasty. The prawnz are amazing and if you haven’t had hash brown fries before, you need to try them! It isn’t cheap, but we were pleasantly surprised when the bill came and were full even though we hadn’t had a main each. Friendly, relaxed service. Try to avoid sitting by the kitchen if you can- we all came out smelling of fried food.
