I’m getting drunk for you

Sharing Platter at London Vegan Pub

by

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.

Paddington Themed Vegan Afternoon Tea

by

I’m so old-fashioned. I often read the free community newspapers that you find near the front door of supermarkets. I like sticking my beak into local news.

Today I picked up a copy of the Islington Gazette and while flicking through the pages, I found out there is such a thing as a Paddington themed afternnon tea served on a double decker bus.

And there is a vegan option!

London Vegan Beer Fest early bird tickets

But now it is back in a big way and early bird tickets are on sale now!
