Sheffield is well known for being host to a number of independent restaurants across the seven hills. And with more and more of these restaurants offering options free from animal products, vegans + vegetarians are spoilt for choice when looking to dine out in the Steel City. Until now, I was yet to experience the food options at The Common Room, but had heard they'd launched an impressive vegan menu. Luckily this weekend I had the opportunity to sample their menu first hand, as part of their DINE Sheffield offer running from the 15th-29th March.

For those not already familiar with the two-storey sports bar, The Common Room offers daily sports viewing, an extensive pool + ping pong room, and a menu inspired by classic American diners. Found down Division St, The Common Room is adorned with neon signs, giant light boxes + of course enough TVs to keep a small village entertained.

You'll also find an extensive drinks list, including a number of True North offerings, ales, cocktails, milkshakes + more. The Oreo milkshake is fantastic and - of course - is suitable for vegans on request!

And now for the most important part - the food. Vegans can enjoy meat and dairy free alternatives to the menu of fried chicken, burgers, nachos and loaded fries. Their famous Mockin' Bird can be served with a number of dressings ranging from katsu curry to chipotle BBQ, on top a bed of seasoned fries.
Our table consisted of two veggies + a vegan, so we were able to explore a few of the SFV options available. I went for the Chipotle Mockin' Bird - southern fried seitan with a spicy BBQ sauce - which was incredible (pictured below).

We also sampled the Hail Seitan burger, made with a seitan + mushroom patty and served with vegan cheese, along with some Not-Cho Fries, complete with guac, jalapenos, salsa + cheese sauce. All of the food was absolutely incredible, we will definitely be returning soon.
Whether you're yet to try out the fantastic vegan menu, or you're a seasoned regular, make sure to get down to The Common Room before the 29th March to enjoy their DINE Sheffield offer.
Either enjoy a burger + shake for £10 or 2 Mockin' Bird plates for £15.
