| - I recall walking by Oak Tree Tavern oncewhile in Kensington, and thinking it was an adorable name for a pub and it was something that I would name my own pub and there and the inside would be akin to the setting of Fantastic Mr. Fox and there would be acorns.
Upon going home and looking up their menu, I noticed several items clearly marked vegan. This included a veggie burger, chili and subsequent chill fries, yummy, salads, etc. I tried the veggie burger on my first visit, and paired it with a pint of Village Blonde. It was pretty yummy, but my friend remarked her fries tasted like they'd been put through the deep-fryer a couple times which doesn't sound too appealing to me.
The next time I visited Village was I believe on a Tuesday, where I watched live music and caught up with a friend. Very cozy when used as a venue, and hoping to try out one of their Movie Mondays soon.
Last time I visited though, I was a little disappointed to see they'd removed some items off the menu, namely the vegan chilli. FIRST WILD ROSE, NOW YOU GUYS?!?!? I didn't even get to try their chilli to be honest, so it could have been awful and they could have been doing me a favour. However, I am bummed that the menu is now a little more limited to us herbivores.
I will continue to visit the Oak Tree and cross my fingers for more nomz I can eat in the future, because who doesn't like nomming down on vegan pub food once in awhile after a long day, or enjoying a cider on the patio?!
Oh. Also, I have never experienced anything but pleasant service. The servers are always super friendly (though once when it was busy we kind of found our own nook to sit, just like I have at many pubs) and always engage in conversation. I will talk anyone's ear off about the purse I bought on ModCloth if they ask, so I'm glad they are tolerant. :)
