What an absolute gem, the best plant based experience I’ve ever had! I went with my partner and we had the tasting menu and all I can say is incredible. Every dish had a unique flavour and the presentation was flawless. I enjoyed every single one and there was just the perfect amount of food, the chocolate at the end was the finishing touch, we went away wishing we could do it all again! We travelled from Cambridgeshire to experience this and we would be back in a heartbeat! Would highly recommend to anyone.

Better than what some consider to be the best! We have been to similar restaurants in Birmingham and London and No. Twelve is hands down better value for money and better tasting. It is so hard to choose a favourite dish they were all so amazing! Camembert was ridiculous and the sticky hispi just as great. It’s such a shame that another great place is leaving the high street, we travelled from Shropshire to visit but think we will be visiting again before they close!

An amazing evening. Arrived to a full restaurant and sat straight away. Not a large place and it created a cosy atmosphere with every one enjoying the company. We had chosen the taster and staff discussed the menu. Very knowledgeable about the entire menu and its ingredients. The evening passed with excellent food and service. With more than a few memorable wow moments and before we knew it it was over. Although not the end of the night as walking out we met the great man himself. We wish him and his staff all the best in whatever the future brings.

Wonderful restaurant - talented chef- absolutely delicious beautiful and inspired dishes. Wine is wonderful and wait staff is lovely. Atmosphere is cozy and warm. I hope that this restaurant gets the accolades it deserves... gem of a place tucked away in a quiet little spot.

Well, what can I say? I'm a meat eater and was intrigued as to whether plant based food could be interesting and tasty. Let me tell you, it can! We had the taster menu which i think was a good choice for a first timer. The flavours were amazing. A couple of courses were a bit strong for me in taste but overall the food was exceptional. The work that must go into creating these dishes is phenomenal. The staff were professional and friendly and the setting was lovely. I loved the old building with some of the original features. If you're sceptical about eating plant based food, give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

Out first visit to No12 and what a gem of a restaurant. Cosy atmosphere, very knowledgeable & friendly staff but most importantly, the food! As long standing vegans we find it hard to find great plant based grub. This place delivers in spades and we’ll definitely be going back. Thank you to Ritchie & his fab team for making my hubby’s birthday.

I’ve wanted to visit here for some time after hearing lots of good things. I popped in for lunch service and they were luckily able to accommodate me. The venue is beautiful, situated in a lovely courtyard and the building itself bursting with character. Service was friendly and efficient. The food, as anticipated, was delicious. It is tapas style and 2-3 dishes per person are recommended. For lunch I found 2 were sufficient for me. The food is wonderfully fresh and flavourful, other guests dining at the time were not vegan but were highly impressed with their dishes and all plates were returned empty. I can’t wait to revisit for dinner soon.

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE No 12. It’s a little hidden gem of a place with such flavourful and perfect plant based food. It is always well worth the visit and our absolute favourite is the baked Camembert which has a different twist every time it’s on the menu. The balsamic caviar we had last night was amazing on the salad and the chocolate and roast hazelnut dessert was too beautiful to eat and not overly sweet. The English Halfpenny wine is also a massive hit with us and has such a great flavour it has really put British wines on the map for us. We took my parents here for mums birthday and they thoroughly enjoyed their food so much that they’d love to come back. They are meat eaters and were certainly not disappointed by the lack of yucky flesh on their plate in any way!! High fives guys.
