Why Travelers Notice It

Kanu Poke at a glance

Request a table before a busy evening, then check the current food and drinks menus when your group needs plant-based dishes without splitting across several restaurants.

The 36-seat restaurant serves homemade Pacific Rim-inspired bowls, noodles, curries, waffles, ice cream, drinks, and takeaway from one plant-based menu. Katie's artwork shapes the room, while George leads the food side of the business.

What to book, try, order, see, or ask for

  • Why travelers should care: The 36-seat restaurant serves homemade Pacific Rim-inspired bowls, noodles, curries, waffles, ice cream, drinks, and takeaway from one plant-based menu. Katie's artwork shapes the room, while George leads the food side of the business.
  • What to book, try, order, see, or ask for: Read the current dine-in menu, submit the table-request form, and wait for the confirmation email. Ask about ingredients, cross-contact controls, children's choices, current specials, celebration notes, takeaway timing, and delivery coverage.
  • Best for: Vegan travelers, mixed-diet groups open to plant-based food, visitors asking about gluten or nuts, station-area lunches, relaxed dinners, takeaway customers, gift buyers, and diners who prefer an independent owner story.
  • What makes it worth the stop: A chef and an artist built the restaurant together, pairing a fully plant-based food program with a hand-shaped interior and a menu that the business presents as gluten-free and nut-free.

Plan The Visit

Check before you go

Address: 5 Roushill, Shrewsbury, Shropshire SY1 1PQ

The table form is a request, not an instant reservation; wait for the confirmation email. The official site lists restaurant service from 12:00 to 22:00 and takeaway until 21:00, but recheck on the visit date. Tell the team about allergies and confirm current preparation controls. Street spaces and several public car parks sit nearby, and the restaurant is a short walk from both stations.

Menu prices and specials can change. Use the live menu and table-request form, then keep the emailed confirmation. Delivery uses a separate local ordering service and can carry different prices, fees, and availability.
