When we got there it was a beautiful day, the town is quaint with bunting and planters outside of the shops. The first thing we saw was a cafe called 'On The Corner' which serves vegetarian food with lots of vegan choices. The decor inside is very quirky and each table has Kilner water jugs with mint leaves in.
I went for baked eggs with spinach and cheese, I can also recommend the chickpea dahl and the red bean and sweet potato stew. All came with lovely walnut bread too.
Something that I cannot recommend enough is the cake at 'On The Corner'. I could smell the chocolate and mint cake as I was eating and just had to have some! We also shared a slice of peanut butter and chocolate cake and both were amazing and vegan.
With very satisfied tummies we then explored the shops, there were lots of quirky gift shops and a few lovely boutique shops and the bicycle and vintage camera prints really caught my eye in this one.
Next was the recycled art gallery which I was completely bowled over by. There was tree pieces made from recycled paper and beautiful recycled glass pieces. I ventured to the back of the gallery to find a beautiful outdoor garden which I fell in love with. My favourite bits were the motherboard and electronic sculptures, the glass pond and the tinkling noise that the slate and gravel made under your feet.
Later on in the day we found Unicorn- a fully vegan supermarket which was really interesting and we bought loads of goodies home to try. I would definitely recommend Chorlton for a lovely day out.
