London vegan news, reviews & events
Do you like the idea of eating a vegan Christmas dinner in a 100% vegan venue on December 25th?
Because you can do just that!
Karamel Restaurant in Wood Green is much-loved for their Sunday roast dinners crafted by Kath and Roger, so it makes a lot of sense that they would be the place to go for a Christmas meal on Christmas Day.

Night one for Festive Vegan Deli in Camden Market was a roaring success.
Visitors to our boutique pop-up shop in The Stables section of the market were treated to a wonderful selection of vegan cheese, meat and pantry provisions.
Fabulous photographer Alicia Clarke was on hand to capture some images for those who couldn’t attend.
Don’t be too sad as you browse these images as Festive Vegan Deli is back on Thursday December 14 and Thursday December 21, 2017 between midday and 8pm.

Superstar vegan coffee shop and café The Fields Beneath is now a regular trader at Hackney Downs Vegan Market.

The business is currently fundraising to open its second location (you can donate online here for fab rewards) and now they have also committed to serving their loved coffee every Saturday at Hackney Downs Vegan Market.

Camden Market is set to showcase the UK’s first ever vegan deli pop-up shop!
I’m thrilled to be pulling together some of the country’s top vegan meat and cheese producers to join the historic London market for a limited 3-night pop-up shop this December.
This seasonal pop-up deli will showcase some of the finest vegan meat and cheese artisans in the UK across consecutive Thursday nights leading up to Christmas.
Festive Vegan Deli is not only a dream come true for vegan foodies, it is also a rare opportunity for anyone curious about plant-based cuisine to find some of the UK’s finest producers in one location. That means you need to bring friends, family and work colleagues along!
The demand for dairy free cheese and meat alternatives is growing at an astonishing rate and this pop-up shop will allow Camden Market shoppers the opportunity to pick up some of the best vegan products currently available in the UK as we head into the Christmas period.

Not only can visitors shop for provisions from our carefully curated line up of deli traders, they can also dine with any of the permanent vegan food traders located throughout Camden Market. It’s the perfect festive day out!
Just to repeat: Festive Vegan Deli is the place to buy all your seasonal take home goodies. You can dine around the market before and/or after you shop with us in regular vegan eateries in the market including Hash Green, Young Vegans, VBurger Camden, Club Mexicana, Magic Falafel and so much more.

In case you’ve missed the almost-reportable levels of spam I’ve been sending out to the universe, I’m here to tell you that I have a book being published in January via Nourish Books.
I’m also here to tell you that you can help me celebrate this book achievement AND eat some delicious food at an exclusive pre-launch supper being hosted by Café Van Gogh on December 12, 2017.
Tickets for the event are £30 plus booking fee and for that price you will enjoy a gorgeous 3-course meal and take home an advance copy of my book Fat Gay Vegan: Eat, Drink and Live Like You Give a Sh!t.
Click here to book your ticket. The dinner will run from 7pm until 10pm.
I’m thrilled to be able to support this eatery in the important work they do in assisting vulnerable and marginalised community members when it comes to finding meaningful, rewarding and enriching catering employment.
Join me for a wonderful meal and let’s support this crucial café and follow Café Van Gogh on Instagram.
If you cannot attend the meal but would still like a copy of my book, you can pre-order your copy online.

If you weren’t able to get along to Hackney Downs Vegan Market today, I’ve put together a small post showing some of my top picks.
Remember, this market takes place EVERY Saturday (unless otherwise advertised) and you can get freshly made food from some of the finest vegan street food traders in London.
OK. Here are my picks.
What does a sold out vegan pop up event look like?
Just like this.
This was the scene last night as we hosted the sold out 5pm sitting of the Mexico City Feast Night at Black Cat Hackney with special guest Mariana Blanco of Los Loosers.
Mariana fed the delighted guests some of the best vegan Mexican food London has ever seen.
And you know what? We had so much fun, we did it twice.
The 8pm sitting was another sold out event.
These sold out dinners were in addition to the Day of the Dead event hosted at 10 Cable Street and the Mexican Ramen Night taking place at Vegan HQ tomorrow.
Much love to everyone who has joined us for these special events.
Be sure to follow Los Loosers on Instagram to see what all the fuss is about and get to Mexico City if and when you can to eat with the much-loved foodies.
