London vegan news, reviews & events
I love bread.
My new favourite place to find vegan bread products is my local branch of the bakery chain known as The Bread Shop. How fun is that name?! It is a shop and it sells bread!
Servers in The Bread Shop don’t have a problem with answering questions about products suitable for vegans and a huge amount of their goods seem to fit the bill. Every loaf has a detailed ingredients card alongside the item price so you can even check for yourself.
How cool is this?
I just had an article posted on the VegNews website!
The US magazine asked me to write about budget vegan eating in London. Click here to check it out and make sure to comment on their website with any places you would have included.
One of my favourite past times is trolling up and down supermarket aisles looking for vegan products. The first thing I love to do when arriving somewhere on vacation is find the nearest grocery store. It is my signature move.
I recently (as in two days ago) moved housed to another part of London so of course before I even unpacked, I made a direct route to the supermarket.
My new local Sainsbury’s is a big one, with plenty of vegan goods to keep me overfed. Much of it was the same old stuff I’ve seen everywhere else, but three products caught my attention.
They have all possibly been on the market for a while, but it was the first time my fat gay eyes had seen them.
Have you tried any of the treats below? Do you love supermarket tourism as much as I do?
I think I have mentioned my childhood obsession with peanut butter previously on this blog.
Apparently I was overheard by my sister Michelle as I hid in the food pantry, smooth talking the crunchy peanut butter into running away with me. It was a pivotal moment in my life. Food and I were in love.
The romantic talk came out of me again last week when I discovered this fabulous product in a deli on Marylebone Hight Street.
These peanut butter cups by Up Cakes are just my sort of thing. Compounded and crunchy peanut base topped with thick, hard chocolate. The cashier told me I wouldn’t be able to stop once I opened them and she was spot on.
I paused briefly only to profess my love.
You can check out the company website here to see the other vegan products they create.
Fat Gay Vegan has teamed up with much-loved express food experts Hummus Bros to bring you a vegan dining event with a twist.
Attendees at the EAT. DRINK. MEET. with Fat Gay Vegan evening will enjoy luscious food prepared especially by Hummus Bros chefs as we take over their entire Exmouth Market location in central London. Yes, that’s correct. The restaurant will be closed for our private party.
I jogged today. Not for the sake of exercise, but to get to a bakery selling vegan breads and pastries.
The fabulous @Vegan_Hausfrau reached out to me today on Twitter to alert me to the following Facebook update by Kamps, the German bakery chain with two locations in London.
Read carefully.
I am all about beer this week. Vegan beer has taken over my life as I gear up for London Vegan Beer Fest. I am up to my ears in hops so you would think the last thing I would have time to write about is a vegan brewery.
But you people need to know about Partizan Brewing.
Quick news bite.
I was traipsing around Waitrose just off Holborn when my FGV eyes were drawn to the colourful packs of Coconut Collaborative. These super tasty (and very vegan) coconut-based yoghurts are slowly spreading across the country and I couldn’t be happier. They are the taste of happiness.
Have you tired them? Which is your favourite flavour?

Preparations for London Vegan Beer Fest have kept me so frantic, I almost forgot to tell you about this incredible vegan dining experience taking place in Brixton this week.
You all know about Asparagasm, right?
