The Old Yard Tapas

Heading to the Hippodrome I looked for somewhere we could have a pre show dinner but not too heavy. The Old Yard Tapas Bar was sporting a tempting Spanish Tapas and Greek Meze Vegan Dinner Menu so gave it a bash.

really enjoyed the vegan halloumi, red pfeffer and mushroom gyros with maple glaze that I had for lunch today, which perfectly boiled, spiced and full of taste. textur wise, the halloumi was nothing like the real thing, but I still enjoyed it. the meal also came with chips, an aioli dip and a small beside salad that were delicious. the employees were very friendly and attentive and the mood during the lunch menu was excellent with the entire outside seating area full and vivid. it would be great to have an evening meal here one day.

I wanted to give FIVE STARS but as they aren’t fully vegan it had to be 4!!!!! Superb experience, excellent attentive staff from going in just after 12 to coming out just after 2 (they were full but slotted me in)! Vegan menu!!! I chose vegan halloumi and spinach gyros, ate the whole lot AND vegan chocolate fudge cake and vegan ice cream it was absolutely amazing, beautiful setting and I just had to put them into here as they weren’t listed!!!! Now they are…I’ve added a couple of pics, thank you!!!

They had a separate vegan lunch tapas menu with loads of different options. One of the tapas dishes was vegan black pudding and chorizo, it was really tasty. They also had small bottles of vegan (labeled) prosecco which was a nice treat!

I loved that there was good range of tasty options , including beans and very little fake meat.
