London vegan news, reviews & events
Trupig Vegan is one of the best independent vegan businesses on the planet and they make a lot of delicious treats.
I’ve shouted about them quite a few times and, as a big fan, I’m keen to let you know about some brand new and limited edition goodies they are selling from TODAY!

Club Mexicana is mentioned a lot on this blog.
The Mexican-inspired comfort food business has been serving London for more than 10 years and their loaded nachos are a FGV favourite.
Now people outside of London have the chance to find out why I’m always shouting about Club Mex thanks to their upcoming festival tour around (selected parts of) the UK.

I don’t want to alarm you but I just found out that Trupig Vegan has released a limited run of vegan truffles and you’re going to want to act fast.

One of the most memorable days of my life was my wedding day in Sheffield back in 2021.
If you can remember those confusing times, it was during one of the lockdowns or partial lockdowns. Such a shit time. Despite the uncertainty and the strange atmosphere of the world, it was a truly magical day filled with love, joy and, of course, cake.
Not just any cake. A vegan wedding cake.

I’m always shouting from the rooftops about Truffle Pig and their decadent vegan chocolates.
The Sheffield-based confectionary specialists have developed a loyal following and it is no surprise when you consider how delicious their products are.
I first tried Truffle Pig chocolates a few years back when they traded at my Sheffield Vegan Beer Fest. I bought as much as I could but people swamped them and everything was gone very quickly.
Knowing how popular the brand is, you should be excited about this new hand painted, dark chocolate block released just last week.
It is called Riots Not Diets.
This 100g chocolate bar is made with their signature dark 55% cocoa with 'RIOTS NOT DIETS' written on each one. As these are hand painted design, each bar will be uniquely decorated! Support independent vegan business and support your taste buds. Click here to check out the entire Truffle Pig range online, including the new Riots Not Diets bar. Important fact: Truffle Pig restock online every Friday so you need to be quick on the day to place your order. You can also follow Truffle Pig on Instagram.
The vegan revolution shows little sign of slowing down in the UK and this city centre pub announcement is further proof.
The Old House is a popular watering hole on Devonshire Street that has been serving vegan options on their food menu for a while, however they have now made the decision to switch to 100% vegan food and cocktails as they come out of lockdown.
Locals can book tables now in anticipation of the May 19, 2021 reopening and really get fired up by the tantalising menu.
Check it out below.
The menu is packed with tempting comfort food including all day brunch, stacked burgers, and loaded fries.
But it isn’t just the food!
All of the cocktails will be vegan, too. Fill up on plant-based drinks and snacks.
You can follow The Old House on Instagram and Facebook to stay updated on menu additions.
Need to book a table? Head over to The Old House website. The Sunday roast dinners will be especially popular.
A few days ago I was invited to try the vegan food options at The Beer Engine in Sheffield, South Yorkshire which has just reopened.
The food menu is tapas style and all super tasty. Yes, I ate everything I’ve listed below:

They have renovated the beer garden of the pub with plants, lights, and umbrellas so rug up and get down there between Wednesday and Sunday. Come summer, this place is going to be packed solid every single day.
