Crow and Gate Pub - Nanaimo - Vegan Options

This was more about my boss getting antsy to fly his helicopter on a beautiful day than it is about a pub with one vegan item on the menu (although to be fair, a couple of their salads could be veganized).
The whole estimating department (4 of us) set out one beautiful afternoon last week from Aldergrove, across the Strait to Nanaimo and then back via West Vancouver.
My scenery pics leave a little to be desired, as pictures through the window of a helicopter always seem to be less than perfect.
Still, random islands and the wealthy folks who live on them are fascinating and beautiful (at least the islands are...not sure about the folks). It's good to be reminded about how amazing this place where we live really is.
I know very little about the Crow and Gate other than there is room to land a helicopter, and on a nice day, the gardens and outside tables are delightful. It's about a 15-minute drive south of Duke Point Ferry Terminal, for you folks tethered to the earth.
I am a big fan of the British style, heavy wood and clutter decor. If the weather sucked, then the inside dining would be cozy and warm.
I had the Buffalo Chick Pea Falafel Wrap, which is actually labelled as vegan on the menu. I would definitely order it again as it was quite satisfying with a nice side salad.
But folks don't just come for the food. Dining outside in the gardens on a sunny day is a nice relaxing experience.
But duty calls, and back to the office we went. The estimating department has to do our bit to keep the work coming in and to keep things rolling.
