London vegan news, reviews & events
Vegan breakfast in a bicycle shop? You got it!
A massive thank you to Beth who volunteered this lovely guest review. Beth wanted you all to know about a recent food experience in a unique setting.
Check it out and plan a trip to York. Unless you already live there. If that is the case, get busy enjoying what you’ve got!
Take it away, Beth.

My favourite vegan places in Berlin.
This is a difficult post to write, as there are so many great places to choose from in Berlin – and new places keep opening! So I should say now that you’ll almost certainly disagree with me, and this is my personal list of the locations I enjoy visiting the most right now. These three eateries are 100% vegan. They’re not in any particular order, as I can’t really choose between them! But they’re definitely my top three, and I think that they’re almost perfect.
This is sad news.
One of the best vegan food providers in the UK is set to cease trading tomorrow (Saturday August 22, 2015). I am terribly saddened to report the end of The Mighty Food Fight.
Hannah and Isabel have decided to pack away their magic donut recipes and shutter up the food truck, as this much-adored Bristol business is wrapping up.
Here is what the food superstars had to say when I asked for comment:
It’s goodbye for now from us and our beloved food truck René! We’ve had an amazing adventure serving the lovely people of Bristol and beyond some tasty Mighty Sub Rolls and many glorious vegan donuts. We’re so grateful to all our loyal Food Fighters and everyone who has supported us, particularly when René was poorly. We’ll miss all of our customers but we hope that we’ve inspired people to seek out the best cruelty-free flavours. Fancy a chance to try a TMFF donut before we close? Come on down to Moor Beer Tap on Days Road, Bristol, between midday and 8pm this Saturday where we’ll be holding our Last Hurrah with vegan beer from Moor, along with two other street food traders from Bristol Eats.
Terrible news for anyone in love with spectacular vegan food.
You really should do whatever it takes to get along to this final trading day for The Mighty Food Fight. Hannah and Isabel will be serving up hundreds of vegan donuts including Boston Cream, Strawberry Daiquiri, Lemon, Lime + Toasted Coconut and many more.
As this final event is run in conjunction with Moor Beer Company, you can also look forward to vegan mac ‘n’ cheese balls drowned in a fig, tomato and Moor stout ketchup.
Don’t make excuses. Get to the event from midday for stunning vegan food. Get all the details on the Facebook event page.
While you are feeding yourself silly, make sure you take the time to thank Hannah and Isabel for everything they have done to raise the profile of vegan food in Bristol. They have made a profound difference.
The always-popular Club Mexicana has come on board as part of International Vegan Junk Food Day 2015 celebrations.
This mobile vegan food vendor has been winning hearts and tastebuds over the past few years and they show no sign of slowing down. They are impressing people with tacos, nachos and burritos that are all 100% vegan.
One place where they are certainly going down a storm is the Street Feast event at Model Market in Lewisham. Their super cute stall is a hotspot for tasty comfort food lovers.
But what about the free nachos?

The Gate is somewhat of an institution in London, dating back to 1989 when their original location in Hammersmith opened. The Islington branch opened its doors more recently in 2012 and benefits from a prominent corner position on St John Street at the end of Rosebery Avenue.
I get asked daily (often multiple times a day) to share details of my favourite vegan meal in London.
I don’t think about it. I don’t deliberate. I answer quickly and succinctly.
My favourite vegan meal in London is…
International Vegan Junk Food Day 2015 is fast approaching and many restaurants and stores around the planet are lining up deals, offers and special #IVJFD15 menus for the celebrations on Saturday August 29, 2015.
One London-based cafe is coming to the #IVJFD15 party in a big, BIG way.
Check out this stunning vegan menu created by Black Cat Café Hackney for International Vegan Junk Food Day.
Do you remember when I wrote about More Than Meat burgers? Sure you do! (If you really don’t, click here)
More Than Meat has been serving up their brand of vegan meat alternatives for several months in Tunbridge Wells but the food vendor has moved on and is now trading once a week in a market situated in Richmond, West London.
I paid Barry and his food stand a visit yesterday, so scroll down and check out some of the tastiness I encountered.
I’ve met thousands of people during my time as FGV and very rarely do they turn out to be as friendly and fabulous as Chloe Coscarelli.
In case you don’t know, Chloe Coscarelli is a superstar vegan chef with an arsenal of plant-based recipes that could turn the head of any carnivore. I adore Chloe’s recipes and was beside myself with glee when I had the pleasure of hosting her family at London Vegan Drinks a few years back.
The latest news out of camp Coscarelli is the recent opening of a 100% vegan restaurant called by CHLOE, situated in the West Village district of Manhattan .
Keep scrolling to read my exclusive interview with Chloe about this exciting business development, her favourite items on her menu and if we can hope to welcome her back to the UK anytime soon.
Some interesting emails wind up in my inbox, but not many as intriguing as the one I just got from this company called Give Kitchen.
Give Kitchen is a brand new business delivering ready to eat vegan meals to your home. Well actually, it is not just delivering vegan meals but rather entire 3-week long eating plans.
It sounds very familiar to the scheme launched by Beyoncé in North America a few months ago. Give Kitchen will deliver everything you need to eat vegan for 22 days. You simply need to heat it up and eat it.
The company sent me the follow photos that show the kind of meals on offer as part of the eating plan.
