Eden Project - St Austell

As you walk around the Eden Project they celebrate plants, they talk about all the wonderful benefits of plants, and they push the climate change message…why then are there so few vegan options! They whole place should be vegan or at the very least veggie. There are so few options and those ones are just meh

Trying to teach sustainability and diversity but shocking food options for vegans allergic diets. Gift shop filled with various meats and and dairy items … last I heard the one real thing a human can do to off set their carbon was to eat less meat… maybe the Eden project needs to learn this. Tiny cornet devotees to teaching how to reduce carbon footprints amazingly though it does state there eating less meat!? Pasty was £1.50 more than the others and nice enough but over priced at £5.

We were there for the Eden Sessions Nine Inch Nails gig and were initially excited to see what vegan options would be available. It was a bit hit and miss really we had a vegan Cornish pasty, which was lovely but expensive for what it was £5). The jackfruit burger and balti wrap with fries were pretty lacklustre and neither were labelled vegan, we had to ask. I would have expected more choice for a place focused on sustainability there were definitely way more meat and vegetarian options, which was disappointing. It'd be nice to see veganism being better promoted there with a wider range of dishes. I know there were several other eateries we didn't visit, including the fancier looking one in the Mediterranean biome, so maybe they were better? The best parts for us? The Thatcher's fusion ciders and the mint choc chip coconut, pineapple and baobab ice cream for sure! Updated from previous review on 2022 06 19

We had a few options here. Pasty for lunch, nachos and a balti wrap for dinner. The options were nice but just lacking in flavors or spice. Would have liked to have eaten at the med restaurant but it was only open at lunch time which we didn't know. The highlight was probably the coconut, pineapple and baobab ice cream from the upper floor of the main food court. Updated from previous review on 2022-06-19

I’ve been to the eden project for a few years and have always been quite excited by their vegan options but was quite disappointed to find only vegan mains to be chilli and pasta. However, we enjoyed some small plates in the Mediterranean biome and biscoff cake and flat whites with oat milks were delicious
