I’m not a football fan.
It’s not that I’m against the sport, but I am just not interested. I’m more of a tennis person. I could sit for hours as people hit balls to and fro on my screen, but a team of humans kicking a little round ball does nothing for me.
With that said, I do understand how seriously the UK takes the sport of football so I wanted to share some exciting news with you about the upcoming England game this weekend.
One of the greatest joys for me as Fat Gay Vegan over the past 16 years has been championing independent vegan businesses.
Whether it has been writing about exciting new products on this blog, organising Hackney Downs Vegan Market, or helping small businesses connect with thousands of customers through supper clubs and events, I have always believed that our independent traders are the heart of the vegan movement.
That is why I am so excited that the return of London Vegan Beer Fest this September 19th in Mile End will feature a dedicated retail tent packed with incredible independent businesses.

There are a lot of wonderful things about living in London as a vegan, but one of my favourites has to be the fact that we have an entirely vegan pub.
The Spread Eagle in Homerton continues to be one of the capital’s true vegan gems, and one of the reasons it stays so special is that the kitchen seemingly never stands still. The menu changes with the seasons, giving regular visitors plenty of reasons to keep coming back.
The new summer menu has just landed with a host of fresh dishes and drinks, but today I want to make a fuss about one particular addition.

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.
