Fresh. Flavourful. 100% Plant-Based
From vibrant Buddha bowls and freshly pressed juices to hearty breakfasts and indulgent treats, everything at Nature on the Go is freshly prepared using wholesome ingredients and packed with bold, satisfying flavours.
Nature on the Go
Nature on the Go was founded by husband-and-wife team Jo Varsani and Sanjay Patel, with one simple mission – to make fresh, plant-based food accessible, nutritious and full of flavour.
For Jo, this journey became deeply personal. After Covid, her digestive health changed dramatically. Eating out became increasingly difficult, as many places advertised vegetarian or vegan options but prepared them alongside other foods. Even the smallest amount of cross-contact or ingredients her body couldn't tolerate often left her with severe stomach pain for days.
Like many people with food intolerances, Jo was often told she was "fussy" or "picky", when in reality she was simply trying to avoid becoming unwell. It made her realise how many others face the same daily challenge and how difficult it can be to find somewhere they can eat with confidence.
That's why Nature on the Go was created.
We wanted to build a place where people with dietary requirements, allergies, intolerances and lifestyle choices could enjoy fresh, delicious food without feeling like an afterthought. Our menu is entirely plant-based, with a strong focus on dairy-free and nut-free options, making it easier for more people to enjoy eating out together.
Located in the heart of Halstead High Street, Nature on the Go is more than just a café. It's a welcoming space where everyone can enjoy colourful Buddha bowls, freshly pressed juices, handcrafted sandwiches, homemade desserts, vegan afternoon teas and creamy dairy-free gelato — all prepared with care, flavour and inclusivity at the heart of everything we do.
Our Promise
We believe everyone deserves to enjoy great food, regardless of their dietary needs.
Every dish is freshly prepared using quality ingredients, bold flavours and plenty of love. We take pride in creating food that is nourishing, satisfying and full of colour, proving that plant-based food is anything but boring.
Sustainability is equally important to us. Wherever possible, we serve our food in environmentally friendly, compostable packaging made from naturally fallen palm leaves, helping reduce plastic waste while caring for our planet.
At Nature on the Go, we're passionate about creating a place where people feel welcomed, understood and confident that their food has been prepared with the same care we'd expect for our own family.

Posted on Google Alan RTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing fresh and healthy vegan food, and also lovely gelato and cakes/sweet treats. So many options for both food and drinks you need multiple return visits to try it all. Really friendly and helpful owners and staff. Can't wait to go back soon.Posted on Google Esme BennettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are so excited to have found a new vegan cafe not far from us!! Not only is the food incredible but the staff are so so lovely. The lunch options are delicious and the falafel is especially good. For me, the absolute highlight is the mango lassi and gelato- not only is it a treat to find vegan ice cream but any ice cream this good!! There are all sorts of flavours and they are super delicious (the Black Forest gateau is my favourite). Jo is a real gem and you can really feel her passion for her lovely business 🌱 We will be back!Posted on Google J MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience coming here with my family, very welcoming and helpful service from staff. Food is all natural and delicious, there is plenty to choose from.

A great spot to grab lunch!! Staff were very friendly and attentive (and made a real fuss of our baby), the food was freshly made and tasted delicious (and left me feeling better for a ‘clean’ meal) and they’re making a real effort to be eco-friendly. Drop in and grab something off the very affordable menu!! Ps: Don’t leave without grabbing a scoop of the lemon & basil gelato! 😋Posted on Google Dr Mary JacobTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Amazing food, and servicePosted on Google Sue BarkerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a brunch meal here on Sunday and it was wonderful. Jo and Anjay are so friendly and professional and are putting so much energy into making all their customers feel welcome and special - it puts most other cafes and restaurants to shame in this regard!! :-) .... and very convenient to park right outside on a Sunday! Vegans and meat eaters will enjoy eating here but it's a very special treat for vegans not to have to worry whether what they are ordering is really vegan - because it ALL is!! Really delicious healthy food and gorgeous fresh drinks. We're looking forward to returning and want to thank Jo and Anjay for being such lovely people.
