Vk Plant Based Diner

If you ever find yourself wandering through Waterlooville and craving a vegan meal that doesn’t feel like a compromise, Vk Plant Based Diner at 244a London Rd might just become your new go-to. From the outside, it may look like your typical cozy diner, but step in and you're welcomed into a vibrant, relaxed space where plant-based creativity takes center stage. Whether you're a seasoned vegan, dipping your toes into meatless Mondays, or just looking for a hearty meal without the guilt, this place knows how to deliver flavor with flair.

One thing that immediately stands out is the diversity of the menu. We’re not talking about your run-of-the-mill vegan salads here. No, Vk Plant Based Diner goes all-in on reimagining classic comfort food with a cruelty-free twist. Ever tried Fishless and Chips with Salsa? It’s a crowd-pleaser - crisp on the outside, tender inside, and paired with a zingy salsa that cuts through just right. Or take the BBQ Pulled 'Pork' Flatbread, where smoky flavors meet perfectly grilled vegan protein, proving you don’t need meat to make a satisfying meal.

Breakfast lovers are in for a treat. The Vegan Breakfast plate is generous, warming, and satisfying - a true game changer for anyone who believes vegan food is “just leaves.” Add a steamy cup of great coffee or try one of their teas from the well-curated selection. Not a morning person? No problem - the diner’s just as popular for lunch and dinner, especially with solo diners looking for a peaceful bite or those needing a quick but nourishing meal between errands.

When it comes to indulgence, Vk Plant Based Diner doesn’t hold back. Sweet tooths, brace yourselves - White Chocolate and Honeycomb Cheesecake or the playful Eton Mess will tempt even the most disciplined eaters. Craving a drink to go with dessert? They offer Espresso Martinis, Passionfruit Martinis, beer, wine, and spirits, making it a solid choice if you're after a cozy dinner and drink without worrying about hidden animal products.

And let’s not overlook the dietary inclusivity here. Gluten-free folks will love options like the Gluten-Free BBQ 'Chicken' Burger and the Gluten-Free Vegan Chicken & Mushroom Pie Roast Dinner. Each dish is crafted not as an afterthought, but with the same attention to flavor, texture, and presentation as the rest of the menu. You can tell that this place takes pride in making every customer feel seen and satisfied.

On the savory side, there are Dirty Fries topped with plant-based goodness that feel almost too naughty to be vegan, and Jacket Potatoes with Vegan Tuna and Cheeze that hit the perfect balance of creamy and hearty. You’ll also find Chick’Un Burgers, finger-licking Garlic Bread, and Mighty Meaty Vegan Pizza that could convert even the most skeptical carnivores.

For those who love variety, small plates and sharing options abound. Grab a Finger Flatbread, order a side of vegan cakes or try their creative sundaes. There’s something joyful about exploring a menu that reads like your favorite diner classics - only this time, it's all plant-based.

The space itself is accessible and inviting. With a wheelchair-accessible entrance and seating, it's clear the team behind Vk cares about inclusivity beyond the menu. Add in their outdoor seating, takeaway, no-contact delivery, and dine-in service - you’ve got flexibility for every kind of diner, from cozy winter meals to summer patio lunches.

And while the menu speaks for itself, the atmosphere rounds out the experience. Casual yet thoughtful, with friendly service and a chilled vibe, it’s the kind of spot that welcomes you whether you’re popping in for a quick hot chocolate or settling in for a full roast with friends.

Vk Plant Based Diner isn’t just a place to eat - it’s a refreshing reminder that plant-based dining can be bold, indulgent, and satisfying without sacrificing taste or comfort. Whether you're in for a quick bite, lingering over a cocktail, or indulging in a decadent dessert, this Waterlooville gem offers something unexpectedly delightful at every turn.

My gorgeous wife has been wanting to eat here for a while. We are off from work this week so drove the 40 miles to come and eat. The service was really friendly and polite. Superb choices on the menu. I had the pulled BBQ pork burger and wife had the bean burger with nachos and jalapeños. Absolutely amazing and very filling. So wanted desert but just no room. Will 100%come back to try a roast and the rest of the menu. 100%Vegan which is just the best. Thanks

Food was amazing! Exceeded expectations! Loved the cow decor! waitress was a very lovely lady and couldn't be more helpful/ attentative. Food was cooked to a very high standard and was quick at coming out to us! Dessert menu is dangerous for food lovers had the biscoff waffle and was not disappointed 1 bit with it! Definitely will be back again especially when in the area. Highly recommend coming here as its reasonably priced for food size portions and deliciousness of food.

Wow! I was really blown away by my experience here. Staff were so friendly, smiling and helpful. We ordered a festive pie and festive burger. Easily the most delicious vegan roast I've ever had! Generous portion and everything so well flavoured. I will be back to sample more of the menu

We had Sunday roast lunch & it was amazing. Traditional home cooking. Very filling & so tasty. Roast potatoes were perfect. Usually so difficult to get good Vegan food out. Our first visit but definitely not our last. Parking within easy walking distance at town centre car park, free on Sundays.

I have a major complaint about this place... It is too good!! I came here with a friend of mine and the food was amazing, I had the "beef" burger with a "chicken" patty added onto it and finished it all off with a chocolate peanut butter fudge sundae the service was great too and had a lovely atmosphere with Highland cow pillows and spray painted walls which looked very artistic I will be coming back again
