Sherlocks - Whitby

I had a delicious chocolate wingcake and tee here, a so quirky little caffe that is worth a visit for the ambiente alone.

The cafe has a lovely setting. It's very sherlock-esque. There isn't much on the menu for vegans, and nothing is labelled vegan, but if you dig deep there are some options. Roasted veg and houmous panini, which I had, would not be my first choice, but was actually really nice. It had peppers and aubergine on. It comes with crisps, salad and coleslaw (which isn't vegan so ask to not have it) other things a saw, soup with bread if you have no butter, jacket potato and beans, toast and preserves and the fried etc are cooked in vegetable oil. Even though not advertised on the menu, they have soy milk for hot drinks. I don't think any of the cakes are vegan (a lot of gluten free). There is also an escape room in the attic which is about £20pp. It is VERY hard, even for an acid escape roomist but good fun. We did not get out

Sat down, waited 15 minutes for someone to come to the table to take an order. No visible marked vegan options on the menu so had to ask.

So this is on Happy Cow I see. Been coming here for years mainly for a tea or coffee but also a bite to eat on a couple of occasions. I tend not to pay for tea out anywhere as I think it’s a complete waste of money but I have to say Sherlocks provide an enjoyable and traditionally English tearoom experience. Food-wise, a red pepper and hummus panini isn’t exactly exhilaratingly inventive but it did the job. Lovely quaint place, an efficiently run fussy tearoom with staff who wear aprons. I like it but it’s not going to make the vegan wall calendar.

Had the vegan chocolate fudge cake! It was delicious. Cafe is slightly chaotic... You might even have to wait outside! Very nice decor inside though and very cooled.
