Mudlarks Garden Café, Hertford

Mudlarks Garden Café is an absolute gem in the heart of Hertford. It’s Hertford’s only vegan and vegetarian café.

It’s a seasonal menu, and because the fruits and vegetables are grown by their own gardeners, they can truly claim “plot to plate”. Breakfasts include smoothie bowls, vegie breakfasts and handmade granola. If you pop in after 11:30am choose from vegan burgers and wraps, superfood salads and additive pastries and desserts.

But this is more than a café, Mudlarks provides paid work and training for adults with learning disabilities and mental‑health challenges. Much of the food comes from their own allotment and everything you spend goes back into supporting the charity.

This is a warm, community-driven business with a heart!
