Our big bow window is apparently one of the most photographed features on Gillygate, so here’s a close‑up of one of its Art Deco‑ish stained‑glass panels.

If you grab a photo while you’re passing or visiting us, tag us so we can admire your pictures too.

We’ve had a few of our lovely vegan followers ask whether we offer Vegan Sunday Roasts, and the answer is yes, we do.☺️

Our vegan roast features roast celeriac with dukkah spice, a vegan Yorkshire pudding, and our onion‑and‑rosemary gravy, all made completely from scratch by our in‑house chefs.

As our kitchen is tiny and everything is prepared fresh, we kindly ask anyone wanting a Vegan Sunday Roast to book at least 24 hours in advance and mention it in the booking form. This helps us make sure we have everything ready for you.

If that’s not possible, we’ll still do our best on the day, though options may be more limited depending on the ingredients we have available.

And if you do join us, we’d love to hear what you think. Please share your feedback on your vegan roast experience. We look forward to welcome you to Cafe No8 Bistro soon.
