Open all day and into the night, we’re well-known for our legendary breakfasts, veg-centric lunches, and a la carte dinners. Our menu has always had a strong emphasis on vegetarian food and fresh produce which stems from our founder, Bill Collison’s, days as a greengrocer. Nearly 50 percent of the dishes on our menu are vegan or vegetarian which is something we are very proud of. Always warm and welcoming, we treat our guests as we might do a family member so stop by and try out our daily dinner specials and fresh plant-based alternatives.

The Lock Bar and Kitchen

To celebrate World Vegan Day, The Runnymede on Thames has added a delicious vegan burger to The Lock Bar and Kitchen menu that promises to rival its meaty counterparts.  The red pepper, quinoa and lentil burger is served with a spicy tomato relish and is sure to pack a nutritional punch! Made with a grain base of quinoa and lentils (staples amongst vegans), the burger is not only high in fibre and protein, but also contains many essential amino acids and vitamins. Red pepper is also incredibly high in vitamin C which is great for fighting off any colds!
