😈 DEVIL'S FEEDING TROUGH 😈

The ultimate Russian roulette. Culinary daredevils only.

The Devil's feeding trough. Food so good people risk it all. The kitchen is a horror show but the reviews are immaculate. Strongest stomachs only. You've been warned.

Food's fab, hygiene's a horror show.

No1 Polsloe is where the food game and hygiene standards have a massive identity crisis. Sure, the vegan Welsh rarebit gets raved about like it's the second coming of Christ, but with a hygiene score of 1, it's like eating in a petri dish. I mean, how are you meant to enjoy a green smoothie when you’re thinking about the last time they cleaned the blender? The staff, though, shout-out to Julia and Jess, seem super friendly and make you feel right at home, while the menu is a delight for vegans and vegetarians. Just be prepared to ignore the food safety vibe that screams 'this is not where I'd want to settle down'.

So, if you fancy a cozy lunch with a side of existential dread, head on over. Just maybe don't bring your kids or your momβ€”unless you want to give them a story to tell at the next family gathering. Wouldn’t want to scare them off vegetables forever.
