Everyone needs a break. It is good for our physical and mental health to step away from the daily demands of work, especially if you run one of London’s most adored vegan cafes.

Ep 100 of the Podcast OUT NOW
They said we would never make it.
Actually, nobody said anything because hardly anyone watches hahahahaha.

In this latest episode we chat about our love of dark comedy show Hacks, how we fear AI is ruining the planet, and all the wonderful vegan food I enjoyed in Tokyo.

FGV passes 100k Visitors This Year
I don’t often stop to celebrate the legacy of the FGV blog itself.
This blog has always been about shining a light on other people. Independent vegan businesses. Animal sanctuaries. Fundraising events. Community gatherings. New products. Restaurant openings. Beer festivals (ahem!).
But today I want to take a moment to celebrate this platform that started everything for me.
So far this year, more than 120,000 individual people have visited fatgayvegan.com.

London Vegan Bakery Taking a Break
I was strolling through Old Spitalfields Market yesterday, looking for food with a spot of sugar.
My main aim was to pick up a sweet treat or two from Polka Dot Bakery, the marvellous vegan and gluten-free bakery business usually found in those parts on the weekend.
But the stall was nowhere to be seen… and a little digging online showed that I need to wait until later in the year for its return.

Half Price Vegan Beer This Weekend
There are not many vegan restaurant groups in the UK that have changed the game quite like Purezza.
From pioneering plant-based pizza to constantly finding new ways to reward loyal customers with exciting promotions, Purezza continues to prove why it remains one of the country’s most celebrated vegan dining destinations.
This Sunday, the team is serving up another reason to visit with all beers available for half price when you order any main meal.

Missing Vegan Meal on China Eastern Airlines
I have just got back to London after a very long journey with China Eastern and I need to talk about it, partly as a vent and partly as a heads up for other vegan travellers.
The route was Brisbane to Shanghai, a flight of around nine and a half hours, followed by a six hour layover in Shanghai Pudong airport, and then a further fourteen hour flight from Shanghai to London Gatwick. All in all, a properly long haul journey that was tiring and rather gruelling.
Here is a photo of the food I was given in the cabin.
Ep 99 of the podcast OUT NOW – live from Australia
We are getting closer to a century of podcast episodes and this week episode 99 of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) was recorded while I was visiting Australia.
Josh and I chat about travel etiquette, what we think of Madonna’s new music, and legendary Australian rockstar (and vegan!) Adalita of Magic Dirt. We also revisit our our personal stories of dealing with homophobia following Australian sporting personality Kane Evans coming out.

Vegan Burger in Australian Chain
Sometimes we are faced with eating the vegan option in a non-vegan restaurant, especially when we find ourselves in a location with no all-vegan options or when the local vegan restaurants are closed.
This happened to me during my final day in Brisbane today, on a quiet Sunday night in the city centre.
