Pizza, pasta & calzone

You ready for some fucking fantastic news?

You can now buy vegan pasta, pizza and calzone in Dalston, London. Get the facts and then get fed!

News of this vegan-friendly eatery in east London arrived to my inbox thanks to Miriam. She wrote to alert me to the really rather impressive and inclusive menu being offered at Fed By Water on Kingsland High Street in E8.

Miriam sent me the following photo she snapped of the vegan pizza menu. Check it out.

Eat Brixton

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.

Wine night

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!

Going vegan

You all know the London vegetarian restaurant called tibits, right?

The ‘help yourself’ food provider is a favourite for diners looking for plant-based food as the majority of their food ‘boat’ is 80% vegan on any given day. Regular items include super food salads, seasoned potato wedges, sticky toffee pudding and Victoria sponge cake.

It is tasty food with a decent vegan wine and beer selection to boot.

But things are changing slightly over at tibits. Check it out:

Vegan meat night

London, are you ready?

This Friday night is the night you go to Black Cat cafe in Hackney. No excuses.

Wanna know why?

Javier Suarez, a South American chef based in London, has spent the last decade traveling around the globe due to his activity as a musician. He has explored vegan food options across the whole world. Inacio Gomez, head chef at Black Cat Hackney, invited Javier to take over Fridays at the cafe kitchen. Together they developed the idea of the Artisan Vegan ‘Meats’ Supper Night.

The vegan meats night is launching from 5pm this Friday (March 20, 2015). Food will be served until 10pm and the regular low Black Cat prices will be in place.

The menu sounds stunning. Check it out on the poster below.

Eat and dance

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:

  • chicken-style burger
  • beef-style burger
  • Jamaican patties
  • home-fried potatoes
  • tortilla with guacamole

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!

Get together

I’ve just had some interesting news come through about a new regular vegan dining and socialising event in London.

That is exactly what this concept promises. Check out the press release for BEspoken Dinners below:
