Sheffield vegans and the vegan-curious alike are set to enjoy a true taste revolution as plant-based Saucy launches with gourmet fast food delivery in the South Yorkshire city.
Launching on July 31, 2020 Saucy is the new project from the founders of legendary vegan eatery, Make No Bones, and I’m super happy to be working with them to help with promotion.
Saucy co-founder Dave Shaw said of this new fast food concept:
“My dream has always been to feed delicious vegan comfort food to as many people as I can. While our team is busy working hard behind the scenes to get Make No Bones back up and running and serving our loyal customers again, we also wanted to bring another plan to life.
We designed the Saucy menu to appeal directly to the taste buds of decadent burger lovers and people who, just like me, can’t resist a hefty portion of crispy fries.”
Specialty menu items set to impress include the Katsu Burger featuring a fried chicken-style fillet housed in a fresh bun with sesame-infused slaw and Japanese curry sauce.
Freshly cooked fries are available in two sizes, as is the irresistible Japanese-inspired slaw when ordered as a side.
A selection of beef-style burgers sit alongside the line-up of chicken-style burgers, while fans of gourmet dipping sauces will be thrilled to see a wide range of in house sauces available to order separately to take their fries experience to another level.
Saucy is currently serving delivery only via local food app Mealbase, with more options for takeaway and delivery coming soon.

Only days after announcing their third location will be opening in Hove, superstar vegan pizza chain Purezza has announced ANOTHER location is on its way.
This time in Bristol.
Not long after tripling the size of their Camden branch to become the biggest vegan restaurant in the UK, Purezza will be opening at 79-81 Gloucester Road, Bristol which just happens to be the site of a former butcher before being taken over by Pigsty, a pork and BBQ restaurant.
They are reclaiming the space for the vegans!
The ethos and ingredients behind Purezza’s plant-based Neapolitan pizzas may be a far cry from the building’s previous occupants, but they are nonetheless loved by foodies globally, having won National Pizza of the Year in 2018 in the UK, Vegan Restaurant of the Year 2018, and being prize winners in the World Pizza Championships in 2019.
Purezza is known for crafting its own plant-based mozzarella, and a unique sourdough pizza base made with organic wholegrain flours. These are used in a range of pizzas from classics like the Margherita, to unique inventions like the Parmigiana Party which uses aubergine parmigiana and meat substitutes for its toppings.
The restaurant will also serve a full gluten-free menu, a large range of creative cocktails, and raw dishes including a raw pizza using a base made with seeds and nuts, and raw tiramisu made using finely blended cashew nuts. Food will also be available via local delivery services.
Hot on the news that Sheffield’s adored vegan grocery store The Incredible Nutshell is for sale (read here), we now hear about another successful UK business on the market.

The Cornish Vegan is an award winning and massively loved vegan eatery in Truro, Cornwall.
Here is what owners Dawn and Paul said on their website regarding the decision to close:
Our goal when starting The Cornish Vegan in 2016 was to become the best vegan eatery in Cornwall within 5 years. Little did we expect that to happen so quickly, especially the awards and TripAdvisor rankings, obviously achieved with the support of our loyal customers. Even now as the business thrives, customers often mention the potential of adding breakfasts, evenings, Sundays and franchising.
However, as our motto reads: “Nothing is as certain as the unforeseen.” Having been full on for nearly 4 years now, all this effort has left us extremely tired. So now we would like to take a step back to enjoy a quieter life in Cornwall.
Therefore, we have decided to put the business on the market. Hopefully someone will want to take over The Cornish Vegan as a going concern and build on our success. We would even help the new owner during the handover in order to make the transition as seamless as possible for our customers. Perhaps you or someone you know might be interested in running a successful vegan business?
This is a wonderful opportunity to step into a successful and established business in a gorgeous town.
If you are interested, email dawn@thecornishvegan.com for more details. And keep eating with them while Dawn and Paul are still in charge!

One of the best vegan grocery stores in the UK is yours to buy and run if you have the cash.
This is an amazing opportunity!
The Incredible Nutshell of Sheffield has long been one of my favourite places to shop and I have always made time to visit when I’m in the city.
Charley has done an incredible job of building up not just a trusted and valued spot to buy the best vegan products, she has also created a social hub that has become an intrinsic part of vegan Sheffield.
Need to know what’s happening? Go to the Nutshell. Want the latest info on vegan eateries in Sheffield? Head into the Nutshell.
Charley has built invaluable relationships with suppliers and has made her store the go to place for hard to find and widely popular vegan products.
But after five years of unwavering service, Charley wants to step into a different role and is now looking for a buyer who wants to take over The Incredible Nutshell.
This is an amazing opportunity for a compassionate entrepreneur who wants to keep this much loved vegan business alive.
Extra note: I want to express my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Charley for everything she has done for animals. The Vegan Nutshell has been the heart of vegan Sheffield for five years and her hard work and dedication can never be forgotten.
How many reasons do you need to adore the northern English city of York?
There are pubs named after torture devices. They have haunted buildings all over the place. A cholera burial ground greets you as you exit the train station.
York is one of my favourite places on the planet!
If all of these glorious, creepy facts aren’t enough to get your rushing there, maybe this news of a new vegan döner and cocktail restaurant will have you making plans for a York visit.

Shrewsbury. Are you ready to eat ALL the vegan food?
Okra is a vegan café located on the High Street and the food looks beyond tempting.
The café was previously known as güd and traded in Altrincham Market, however they have enjoyed such wonderful success they have now expanded and relocated to Shrewsbury with the new name.
Okra is all about fresh, flavourful 100% vegan food. It’s kinda like gourmet street food.
They make almost everything in-house from scratch, including all their sauces and vegan burger patties. All their flat breads are made by hand to order, every time!
The menu is small and changes often, but there are always classics like the Mexican black bean burger and tarka dal.
Okra also throw in weekly specials, too. The ‘chippy T’ being a recent favourite featuring crispy tofu fillet, salt and vinegar hash brown, and katsu ‘chippy’ curry sauce on a toasted bun!
Okra is open for breakfast and lunch and should be doing evenings soon.
