London vegan news, reviews & events
I was scrolling recently when I saw a headline that made my heart sink a little. Another vegan food outlet shutting its doors. Not just any outlet either, but Neat Burger, the high-profile chain backed by none other than Lewis Hamilton.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve spent the past few months glowering at the clouds and wondering if the sun still knows how to shine.
But now the blue skies are finally creeping in, the days are stretching out, and London is slowly becoming a bit more bearable. Which means one thing. We all need to be at this legendary vegan pub, dining in their beer garden.

I spotted something in a London restaurant recently that made me do a double take.
