Don’t you just adore a fabulous bar with plenty of vegan beer and tubs of vegan snacks? What do you mean you’ve never been to one?!
Get your compassionate bones to Leeds as soon as possible to enjoy this fine experience.
I’m getting drunk for you
Best in the UK
Here it is. My ultimate sweeping declaration.
I visited a restaurant a few days ago and it turned out to be the best vegan dining experience I have ever enjoyed in the UK. I am pretty sure I could stretch the ‘best’ label to encompass all of Europe, too.
See the food photos below.
Say hello to Wildebeest in Falmouth, Cornwall.
Wildebeest is a world class dining set up and everything about the restaurant is what I want in a vegan establishment. The menu is exquisite and inventive, yet still familiar and comforting. The wine list is of course 100% vegan and cocktail lovers can choose from mojitos, martinis and Cosmopolitans. The people working in Wildebeest are friendly and the service was second to none. The decor is gorgeous while the entire space is comfortable and charming.
Can you tell I’m in love?
Just wait until you see the food!
Mexican food and beer
Do you like vegan Mexican food? Do you like vegan beer?
‘Yes’ to both questions? You will absolutely love this event.
Street food champions Club Mexicana have teamed up with east London brewery Five Points to create a food and beer pairing event that has me drooling.
Check out the five course menu below, detailing each delectable morsel and beer pairing to match:
Vegan business closing
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.
Glasgow impresses again
Honestly, you could eat out every day and night of the week in Glasgow and you wouldn’t run out of vegan options.
I’ve written about The 78 in the past, but check out the latest tasty dishes my group devoured during our recent stop. This fabulous pub/restaurant is definitely something you want to experience.

FGV has left the building
Maybe this is what it feels like to send a child off to college.
Almost four years have passed since I launched London Vegan Drinks back in 2011. In that time, I have welcomed thousands of vegans and not-yet-vegans to meet, eat, drink and mingle at one of the biggest monthly social events on the planet.
The event has truly become a legendary staple of the London social scene and has been attended by people from all over the world. It has been an honour to have nurtured London Vegan Drinks every step of the way. I worked long and hard to make it a roaring success and in the process created a very special and much-loved event for London vegans. My aim was to create an inclusive, safer space for people of all walks of life with compassion as the binding trait and I’m certain countless people now have many happy memories thanks to the event.
But everything changes.
