Public service announcement.
If you are like me and have been enjoying LD’s vegan comfort food these past few years at both The Black Heart and Saint Monday Brewery, you definitely need to know about this update.
Before it is too late!
Read more below.

LD has been serving up some of the best food on the planet including the spectacular Sunday roasts and sauce-smothered wings at The Black Heart in Camden as well as the mouthwatering selection of smoked ribs, corn, and mac n cheese at Saint Monday Brewery just a few steps from London Fields.
All of the food out of these two kitchens has been a true revelation. The independent food business has turned the London vegan food scene on its head, showing us that decadent and irresistible food can still be full of compassion.
Well, the big news out this week is that LD’s Kitchen will no more be at these two establishments. Founder LD has decided change is needed and you now only have a few opportunities to eat these menus in these locations.
The final dates are as follows:
Saturday 28th March, 2026 at Saint Monday Brewery. You can dine at London’s first vegan smokehouse until that date and then no more!
Sunday 29th March, 2026 at The Black Heart is the final date for the Sunday roast service.
The demand for this food before LD shuts up shop is going to be phenomenal, so be sure to book your table in advance.
You can get the booking link for both venues via the LD’s Kitchen Instagram account bio.
Extra note: LD’s Kitchen is looking for new adventures and places to serve delicious food, so feel free to reach out to them if you know of something!
