Vegan pizza

According to local media reports, the venue is renowned for its pizza, which it has served with toppings including mozzarella, and fennel sausage.

While it has these animal-based ingredients from the menu, it will continue to serve its much-loved pies, which are available all days the Glad Cafe is open – Wednesday til Sunday.

The new menu, which states that its mozzarella is now all vegan-certified, features several options including Margherita, artichoke, and courgette topped pizzas. Basil aioli and garlic mayo dips are also on offer.

The cafe’s brunch menu, which it serves at the weekend, also features some tasty sounding options.

Among the dishes available are cannellini beans in a smoky tomato sauce on sourdough toast, served with vegan sausages.

Another dish, the ‘Big Breakfast Plate’, offers sourdough toast, mushrooms, kale, beans, and plant-based sausages.
