Beer & Bird, St Ives
Straight from our visit to St. Michaels Mount we headed to St. Ives, my first time being there! Before exploring the sea front of this beautiful town, we stopped for lunch at Beer & Bird after doing some research that showed us some great vegan options.
There is a section on the menu for vegans & vegetarians which includes 3 burger variations done in 3 ways – Seitan (fried “chicken”), Sweet Potato or Chickpea Patty. We both decided to choose the Seitan option, my husband Will is a big fan of BBQ flavour so he went for the Smokin’ Seitan Burger while I like to turn up the heat and ordered the Raging Seitan Burger that was marked x4 chilis 💪🌶! Along with fries that come with the burgers, we also decided to add a side of Crispy ‘Shrooms because it sounded different, and we like it different!
Once getting my mouth around the burger it wasn’t long until the heat really hit, with Jalapeño poppers, Sriracha slaw and Habanero hot sauce it really came as no surprise. However, even my love for spicy food was not this loving, it was too overpowering and I was soon defeated. Will absolutely loved his choice, and surprisingly enough loved the side of Cripsy ‘Shrooms and mayo dip which left me in shock after his usual disregard for mushrooms – win in my book!
