London vegan news, reviews & events
London Vegan Drinks is a super fun monthly party, as you know.
What you might not have given much thought to is the fact that it isn’t just about booze. We also like to eat.
Turn up tomorrow (Saturday May 2, 2015) from 6pm for London Vegan Drinks at Kabaret @ Karamel in Wood Green and you will be met by the following menu:
The first ever Rock ‘n’ Roll Vegan Brunch was a rollicking runaway success yesterday.
Music was played. Beer was guzzled. Food was devoured.
A million thanks to Dave and the team at Vegbar for helping me bring this wonderful event to life. Chef Christian deserves a standing ovation for his mouthwatering soul food plate. Several guests declared it the best brunch they have ever eaten in London.
Check out this pic my buddy Jhenn posted on Instagram.
The biscuits and gravy were a smash hit. Every single attendee raved about them.
Much love and appreciation to Clarkshaws for coming along to set up a beer sampling station, especially as they have a big party to plan for in the near future. Their vegan beers were adored by everyone who got a chance to try them and I’m happy they are now permanently available at Vegbar.
What a wonderful event.
If you missed out this weekend, don’t stress. Rock ‘n’ Roll Vegan Brunch is now a full time concern for hungry Londoners. It takes place every single Saturday between 10am and 3pm.
Come along!
You all know about Rock ‘n’ Roll Vegan Brunch this Saturday, right?
The brand new weekly event is all about soul food, cocktails, craft beer and rock ‘n’ roll music played by our DJ. It is set to become a London favourite in the Vegbar venue on Tulse Hill in Brixton.

OK. That’s out of the way. Now for the reason for this blog post.
I am thrilled to welcome Clarkshaws Brewing as the first-ever special guest at Rock ‘n’ Roll Vegan Brunch on Saturday April 18, 2015.
Who are Clarkshaws? I’ll let them tell you!
I’m about to break the vegan Internet.
London. Rejoice.
You can buy one of the nicest vegan burgers in the UK and consume it in one of the most glorious settings in London. This is happening right now in the capital and it is fabulous.
What the heck am I babbling on about? Check out this vegan burger.
Yep. That is a handmade burger patty in bread with cashew cheese and beetroot slices, served next to a bundle of crunchy fries. I can’t even.
This burger was one of the best meals I’ve enjoyed in London. I bet you wanna know where I got it, right?
The brand new issue of Vegan Life magazine features an impressive story about vegan beer. As a lover of compassionate drinking, of course I pushed my snout into the article with my views on drinking kindly.
What is not fab is the more-than-unfortunate subheading for the story on the magazine cover. Drink up, lads? Really? I’m not going to try and explain why this is problematic. You get it, right?
The publishers have been grilled on social media about the blatant sexism and rightly so, with the author of the article even expressing his disappointment with the choice of words.
If you can get past that gruesome mistake, Oliver Coningham has compiled a nifty introduction to vegan beer and I want to thank him for including London Vegan Beer Fest in his article.
You can check out Vegan Life online.

Quick announcement.
If you come to London Vegan Drinks on Saturday April 4, 2015 you will be able to order from the following plant-based menu:
Of course we also have our 100% vegan bar all night and DJs Supa B and Swagatha Fistie keeping the crowd dancing until 2am.
Come early from 6pm for a table and food. Full details and directions here.
I’m currently in the southern seaside town of Brighton for the annual Vegfest celebrations and I’m investing some time into getting to know some local vegan food.
One plant-based food experience came courtesy of a pizza restaurant called Pizza Face that delivered vegan food and beer to my hotel room.
Check out the photo below.
Need a reason to visit Brixton? You are about to get a damn solid reason for getting to the south London neighbourhood soon.
A new bar and vegetarian eatery called Vegbar is set to impress when it opens to the public on March 28, 2015. Christian, the mastermind behind the London Vegan Drinks gourmet hot dog night (remember?), is in charge of the menu at Vegbar and it’s safe to say plant eaters are going to be well looked after.
Check out this list of some of the vegan dishes being lined up:
I just received this news from the management of The Gallery Café in Bethnal Green.
Anyone up for a vegan wine night?
Do you want to learn about wine in a fun and friendly environment?
At our comedic wine tasting event you’ll sample a selection of wines and our experts will each give you their own notes on what you’re tasting.
The trick? To figure out who’s telling the truth and who’s bluffing. After tasting each wine, you’ll have to guess who’s giving you the real deal and there will be a prize for getting the most correct answers. And you’ll walk away with enough pretentious knowledge to impress your friends at their next dinner party.
Your ticket includes entry to the event, the wine, and a buffet of nibbles throughout the evening.
Friday 10 April. Doors at 7pm for a 7:30 start.
Tickets must be purchased in advance. Click here to buy.
Extra info: all the wine and food at the event will be vegan. Consume compassionately!
Tonight is the night. My monthly dance party for the LGBT community and its friends is back for another round. Get along to Queer Vegan Disco from 8pm for pop, indie, alternative and dance music.
It’s a whole lot of fun.
If you are considering coming along but are unsure of how to negotiate dinner plans before the event, your panic is over.
Our host venue Kabaret will be serving the most delicious comfort food earlier in the evening, including:
This tantalising bar snack menu is 100% vegan (just like our drinks list) and will be available for the first few hours of the disco, so get down early for a bite to eat before you dance the night away.
As an extra incentive, you can RSVP to the Facebook event for tonight to receive £3 entry price on arrival instead of £5. Put the savings towards something to eat!
