Oh Manchester – so much to answer for

Vegan fry up to make you drool

by

Manchester, you lucky ducklings.

You already have so many fabulous places to eat vegan food and now this gorgeous fry up falls into your laps. Astounding.


It looks as though the vegans of Manchester have been working overtime to demand better options because non-vegan places are falling over themselves to stuff their menus with plant-based options.

The above photo show the vegan fry up being served by The Deaf Institute on Grosvenor Street in the city centre. You can grab a plate of homemade vegan sausage, potato cake, hash brown and baked beans from 4pm this Sunday (10 April, 2016) along with other items packed onto a newly-extended vegan menu.

This news has made me incredibly hungry. Sadly I am in Mexico City where the concept of a vegan fry up is nowhere to be found. I will take it as a grave personal insult if you do not try this plate of food on my behalf.

Follow The Deaf Institute on Instagram for more shots of their vegan items.

Someone in the comments section on this blog recently alerted me to a 100% vegan restaurant and shop that opened in Ramsbottom last year. A few clicks later, I was scanning the enticing menu of Lolo’s Vegan and Raw Restaurant and Store.

I recently saw a post in the Manchester Vegetarian and Vegan Group on Facebook about vegan pizza and even though I’m thousands of miles away from Manchester, curiosity got the better of me and I was delighted to learn about the existence of a 100% vegan cafe/juice bar in the Manchester suburb of Chorlton.

V Revolution still fabulous

by

Manchester. So much for which to answer. Or something like that.

A recent trip to the northern city was somewhat planned around a trip to V Revolution. Don’t know it? V Revolution is one of the finest examples of vegans doing fantastic stuff with food and making it an enjoyable experience, too.

The cafe is tucked away in the Northern Quarter and manages to churn out delicious burgers, irresistible hot dogs, ice cream floats, and the best nachos south of Edinburgh (yep, nothing beats Auld Hoose).

Scroll down to see what I’m talking about. These three photos are from my latest visit and looking at them you can imagine why the V Rev staff had to push me out the door at closing time. I didn’t want to leave!

Vegan-friendly store closed

by

Apologies for being the postal service of bad news lately, but it appears extremely tough work is required to keep a business open in this day and age.

Remember when I wrote about the vegan-friendly grocery and health store in Manchester called Win Naturally?

The store, owned by Julie and Phil Neville, was located inside the Arndale centre in Manchester city centre. They store was packed with mostly vegan toiletries, groceries, healthy snacks, supplements and more. It was kind of like a supersized Holland & Barrett.

During my trip to Manchester a few weeks back, I stopped by the store to pick up a few things and was greeted by the following vision.

Manchester has it

Manchester has a lot of fab vegan things going for it and right up there on that list is the plant-based menu at Ning.

Ning is a Malaysian cuisine eatery situated next door to the current location of V Revolution. Even though I’ve written about Ning in the past, my recent trip there was so outstanding I wanted to share the food photos with you all.

Crispy chicken sandwich

How awesome does this sandwich look?!

Yay for #vegan crispy chicken sandwich and fries at @teatimecollective in Manchester!

A photo posted by Fat Gay Vegan (@fatgayvegan) on

I made my first ever trip to the Manchester cafe called Teatime Collective yesterday and this sandwich had me feeling extremely pleased with myself.

Teatime Collective made their name serving tasty vegan food at festivals, but took the plunge to open a bricks and mortar location in the Manchester neighbourhood of Hulme.

The menu is packed with fab comfort food such as burgers, fries and sodas plus you can even treat yourself to an ice cream sundae.

Follow Teatime Collective on Twitter and Instagram.

Moth believes in an afterglow

by

Manchester is hurtling towards being the most fun destination in the UK for vegans.

They have a super awesome vegan grocery store, an amazing vegan diner and even the non-vegan establishments are serving award-worthy vegan meals. Manchester is a vegan hot spot.

A scorching hot vegan landscape such as this requires lots of vegan beer to cool you down and Beermoth is exactly the place to get the job done.
