"Our first visit today. I am a meat eater (reducing my intake of meat though) and the Mrs is a vegan and it is so difficult to find somewhere that serves a balance of food suitable for her and that will keep me interested too. There are so few places around East Lancashire/above Manchester so we were delighted to get a recommendation for Earthlings from our vegan friend. Simple elegant decor and a spotlessly clean premises, an interesting menu and specials board and very friendly staff. So...the food I went for the breakfast burrito, a beautiful purple coloured wrap with mushrooms, ‘Sosage’ pattie and whole earth baked beans, salad leaves and tomatoes on the side. I would have licked the plate clean had social etiquette allowed. The Mrs went for the Pumpkin seed, quinoa and Chia burger with slaw salsa and a few sweet potato cubes on the side from the specials board. I didn’t try hers, but she made approving noises and faces whilst she ate and said after how nice it was. Dessert was choc orange cheesecake with a scoop of vanilla Booja Booja ‘ice cream’ for me and Lavender and Lemon cheesecake with a scoop of berry sorbet for the Mrs. A cappuccino and an Americano brought the bill to around £33 money well spent and we will definitely be going back!"

"I recently had the best sushi at this restaurant! We visited this afternoon and the sushi was so exceptional that I couldn't wait to leave a five-star review! We ordered a mixed nigiri platter and a spider maki roll. The sushi rice was absolutely fantastic! It was unlike any sushi I’ve had before—no hard, dry textures or long travel taste. The combination of flavors in all the sushi was simply amazing. It was fresh, delicious, and offered great value for money! Unlike some other places, it wasn't overloaded with ingredients. We’re definitely interested in trying their teppanyaki dishes, but we knew we’d be too full to manage it today! I really wish this restaurant were right next to our apartment, as we only came for an event nearby. If I lived closer, I would visit all the time! We did wait for over 30 minutes to get our sushi, but it was absolutely worth it. It's clear this place is very popular for takeout and dining in. (Just a note: the picture with the white plate isn’t ours; we just wanted to take a photo.)"

"This restaurant is a wonderful spot to unwind in the sun, tucked away in a quiet corner with a welcoming atmosphere. The food and drink choices are top-notch, and the service from the owners is exceptional. I was the one in the mustard and green outfit, so you know who's leaving this feedback. Can't wait to visit again soon. - Dan"

"I absolutely adored this charming coffee shop! I was pleasantly surprised by the wide variety of vegan options available, alongside the traditional offerings. It was a breath of fresh air to have so many choices, especially in Bolton! I indulged in the vegan cheese and tomato toastie, along with a cup of celery soup, which were both incredibly delicious and satisfying. To accompany my meal, I enjoyed an oat milk latte topped with vegan chocolate. The ambiance of the coffee shop was delightful, and the staff were all very friendly, even going out of their way to assist my elderly Aunt Babs by holding the door open for her. Before leaving, I grabbed a slice of vegan carrot cake to take home, which was also scrumptious. I was so impressed that I have already made a reservation for my mum and sister to join me on Friday. Thank you to the wonderful staff for a fantastic experience. Although I believe this place deserves a 5-star rating, I am unable to provide one as it is not completely vegan."

"Cocktails were good, they don't have the widest selection but it was easy to find something we all wanted to drink. Menu was a little confusing as I had never been there before to a Thai place. As you order a main and which is just like sauce and chicken bits, you then need to order sides like rice noodles separately. So nice the staff explained otherwise I would have just ended up ordering a bowl of sauce as it's not very clear on the menu. The food arrived in multiple dishes mains and all the sides and was great, very tasty with the food well cooked. There was a magician there which was very odd. He seemed to be very good, but I don't think it is for everyone and I am not much of a fan of magicians especially while I'm having a drink and food. He didn't bother us after we showed we weren't interested, so he was very professional just an odd addition. Overall it was a great meal, a bit pricey but will be going back again at some point."
