London can you wait?

On the map

by

I have recently been on and on about the vegan Italian food business housed in a double decker bus. If you have been anywhere near this blog or my Instagram account these past few months, you would have seen me absolutely singing the praises of Just Fab.

The cuisine created by Chef Myra is some of the best vegan food in the country and everybody I ask to join me for a meal on the bus walks away awestruck by the delicious experience.

Just Fab has been trading every Saturday on Shoreditch High Street (you can read my original glowing review here) but the rest of the week left fans of this superstar Italian kitchen high and dry.

But things have changed! The Just Fab bus has a permanent location where it will be serving delicious vegan food all the time. Yep, you can get the best vegan Italian food in London six days a week.

Sunday roast

by

London doesn’t have an amazing choice for Sunday roast dinners, so it is wonderful to see this new addition to the plant-based landscape.

11960197_909997619065400_8171776331583181226_nThis glorious plate of vegan comfort food is now being served up by Kabaret @ Karamel every Sunday (they just celebrated one year of being a vegan bar/restaurant!).

The mighty meal contains smoked tofu, chestnut & almond Wellington, roast potatoes, carrot & turnip mash, Bavarian red cabbage, peas and red wine gravy.

Good stuff!

All the vegan photos

by

Get ready for this HUGE collection of photos.

I just arrived home from a few hours at the Specialty & Fine Food Fair 2015. This annual trade event is housed in the mammoth National Hall at London Olympia and is always a great place to spot to find new vegan products, as well as reconnect with some old favourites.

Check out everything that caught my eye.

South of the river treats

by

I have often heard about The Waiting Room in the south London enclave of Deptford, but really wasn’t sure where Deptford was situated. It sounded like one of those places you would never visit due to it being in the middle of nowhere.

I don’t know why I thought that, I just did.

This week led to somewhat of a revelation as I discovered there is a train departing every 10 minutes from London Bridge station that takes an incredibly short time to deliver its passengers to Deptford, just one station away.

The Waiting Room is a vegetarian coffee shop offering vegan alternatives for almost their entire menu. It would be marvellous to see this rad store front make the switch to completely vegan, but until they do vegans still have a lot of food and drink to keep them busy.

Check out what I got my paws on during my visit this week.

Free vegan nachos

by

The always-popular Club Mexicana has come on board as part of International Vegan Junk Food Day 2015 celebrations.

This mobile vegan food vendor has been winning hearts and tastebuds over the past few years and they show no sign of slowing down. They are impressing people with tacos, nachos and burritos that are all 100% vegan.

One place where they are certainly going down a storm is the Street Feast event at Model Market in Lewisham. Their super cute stall is a hotspot for tasty comfort food lovers.

But what about the free nachos?

New vegan food

by

Last week, I had the pleasure of being invited to a new menu tasting event held by tibits in Heddon Street.

You all know tibits, right? It is a vegetarian restaurant in central London with a huge selection of vegan food where you serve yourself and pay by plate weight.

The management enjoy having bloggers and influencers in to give feedback when they are ready to launch a new seasonal menu. Check out the photos below of the three dishes that stood out head and shoulders above the rest for me at one of these tasting events last week.

A visit to The Gate Islington

Post by:Click here to follow Josh on Twitter

The Gate is somewhat of an institution in London, dating back to 1989 when their original location in Hammersmith opened. The Islington branch opened its doors more recently in 2012 and benefits from a prominent corner position on St John Street at the end of Rosebery Avenue.
