London vegan news, reviews & events
London don’t freak out, but you have a double decker bus serving 100% vegan Italian food within your midst.
You are not dreaming this blog post.
Josh and I got along to the Just Fab bus on Saturday for some of the most glorious vegan food in London.
I hate to do this to you, but get ready to fly into a jealous rage when you see everything we devoured during our visit.
I don’t know how you are going to fit all of this in.
Your weekend of Saturday June 13 and Sunday June 14, 2015 is BUSY.
Check out these events, make some tough decisions and round up your friends. You got places to be!
Are you planning on attending London Vegan Beer Fest in King’s Cross on July 18, 2015?
Yes? Wonderful! Well, I’ve got some news for you. You will be handed one of these collectibles as you walk through the front door.
Here is some news that just popped into my inbox.
How gorgeous does this vegan Brazilian menu sound? Get on it, people. This pop up on June 12, 2015 is a rare event for London.
Coming along to London Vegan Drinks tomorrow? (Saturday June 6, 2015)
I’ve just been told all about the fab vegan menu being served up by our host venue, Kabaret.
Check it out!
The days of thinking of Shoreditch as a wasteland overrun with hipsters and lacking in vegan food choices appear to be well and truly over.
Following on from my hysterical post yesterday about the best vegan food in London now being served in Shoreditch, I bring you even more news from the ultra trendy enclave.
My favourite vegan burger served in London now has a temporary pop up home smack bang on Shoreditch High Street.
Essential Vegan is a name known to most vegans in London. Vanessa Almeida enjoyed a pop up cafe for months on Portobello Road, has sold thousands of copies of her vegan cookbook and has been a regular food trader on Brick Lane.
Vanessa has mixed things up a bit and you can now find her trading every single day at Pump Shoreditch, a very cool undercover food market housed in an old petrol station on Shoreditch High Street.
Check out the fabulous food I purchased from her yesterday, including what is certainly my favourite vegan burger in the UK. You can’t go wrong with seitan steak and homemade vegan cheese!
Sweeping statement time and this one completely swamps all previous grand statements, declarations and proclamations.
Today I was served the best vegan food I have ever been served in London.
Check it out.
I’ve got news for you that you are going to love.
Check out these amazing vegan breakfast options served at Veg Bar every Sunday between midday and 3pm.
The top photo shows one of the best vegan fry ups in London. My plate last week was stacked with deliciousness, including handmade hash browns. Not sure anyone else in London is doing that.
You can also see the breakfast burrito Josh enjoyed. It was crammed with rice, tofu scramble and a whole host of ingredients. He adored it.
These items are only available between midday and 3pm on Sunday at Veg Bar at 45 Tulse Hill, Brixton.
Good news gets better…
My new day club called Rock Queer takes place in the downstairs club underneath Veg Bar every Sunday between 1pm and 7pm. We play a wide range of alternative rock tunes and the bar serves vegan beer, wine and cocktails.
You can fill your tummy upstairs and then join us downstairs for a few hours of awesome music and socialising.

Music is one of my great loves, as is veganism. How cool that I get to combine the two!
As you know (because I never shut up about it), I am taking Australian band Love Like Hate on the road around the UK this July. Animal Equality are joining us for the shows calling at Nottingham, Leeds, Newcastle, Glasgow, Oxford and London.
The final night of the tour is taking place at 100% vegan restaurant and nightspot, Kabaret. Of course we will be giving massive love to Love Like Hate before they fly back to Australia, but I’ve added another band to this final show line up and believe me when I say you don’t want to miss out.
Colour Me Wednesday are a fab independent punk/indie/pop band from West London. To put it in simple terms: they are fucking awesome.
Check out this insanely enjoyable song and music video.
Colour Me Wednesday aren’t just pumping out killer tunes, they are also dedicated vegans with a distinct disliking of sexism. They are my type of people.
July 31, 2015 is serving up probably the best vegan value you are gonna get for many years to come. I’ll be hosting. Two vegan bands will be storming through the entertainment. Animal Equality will be selling merchandise and signing people up. A DJ will be taking over the stage following the bands. Buy your ticket in advance and you also get two EP downloads from Love Like Hate!
All of this for just £5. I’m not fucking kidding you. Just £5.
You gotta book a ticket today. We are using funds raised to pay for the UK tour so please encourage friends to grab some tickets, too.
If you can’t make it to the final London date but would like to support the Vegan Roadshow tour, visit our Indiegogo campaign page to make a donation. Every single donation helps.
