London vegan news, reviews & events
Post by:
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.
Check it out below.
Facebook can be a tiresome place to hangout.
If you spend a lot of time on the social network, it can feel like you are learning a whole lot of information you really don’t want to know. My friends’ reaction to the latest Star Wars film nearly made me jump ship.
But occasionally the good ol’ FB gives us some truly valuable information. Specifically, where we can buy and eat gorgeous vegan donuts like these.
I saw the above photo posted on Facebook, so I wasted no time in reaching out to the poster to find out more info.
Lisa got back to me super quick with A LOT of details on what she is up to donut-wise. Scotland, you are in luck.
Have you made an effort to visit the only 100% vegan pizza restaurant in the UK?
Photos are starting to flow out of Purezza in Brighton and they are making me feel kinda sad that I’m on the other side of the world. I wonder if they deliver to Mexico?
The restaurant offers a huge range of about 20 pizzas and the menu includes such delicacies as four cheese pizza and chocolate calzone.
Keep scrollin’, scrollin’, scrollin’ to see some of the good stuff.
Cardiff. It’s your turn.
When news reached me of a 100% vegan grocery shop in Cardiff, I was ecstatic. The march of plant-based consumerism is fabulous news for our animal friends and compassionate people in Wales can now shop until they drop.
I reached out to Simply V co-founder Spencer to find out a little bit of inside information on his store:
I am often found singing the praises of Glasgow. Well, not really singing because I can’t but I am known for seriously loving the city and its vegan food opportunities.
My recent-ish visit to the Scottish city had me all in a flap, trying to get my chubby paws on as much of the glorious plant-based offerings as possible.
Like I did with the following food/drink from The Flying Duck.
I have been the announcer of bad news lately, telling you all about the closure of vegan and vegan-friendly businesses all over the country.
But finally some happy news.
A 100% vegan shop is now trading in Sheffield.
The Incredible Nutshell has everything a compassionate Sheffield shopper needs.
I reached out to the owners of Incredible Nutshell to find out a little more information about their store.
Here is what you should know:
Earlier this month, FGV and I were up in Glasgow for VegFest Scotland where we got to meet lots of lovely people and cram lots of delicious food into our mouths. One of the products that really stood out was the Nutcrafter Creamery aged nut cheeses. So good in fact that I had to buy some to bring back to London with us.
Not having a fridge for our three-day journey back to London (we stopped in Manchester for a couple of nights on the way back) wasn’t a problem. These cheeses are air-aged which means that they can be kept out of the fridge. This is good new for those of you not in the Glasgow area as it means you can order them online. Check out the delicious flavours we brought back to London:
Vegan beer fans, some news for you.
A new brewery has popped up in Milton Keynes and their gorgeous unfiltered and unfined artisan beer is made with organic grains.
You can like Bucks Star on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.
Have you visited this new microbrewery and beer garden? What did you think of the brews?
This blog post contains some of the most explicit comfort food photos you will have seen in a long time.
The photos are heavy going and some people will find them quite confronting. Sit down, take a few deep breaths and then scroll down for the visual g(l)ory.
Good for you, Cardiff.
You’ve gone and got yourself a fabulous new food business called Vegan Pizza Co.
I’m certain that is the best company logo I have ever seen. How cool would that look on a t-shirt? I need that on a t-shirt. XXL, please.
Vegan Pizza Co. has been serving up hot delights for a few months now, mostly at pop up events and markets.
Head on over to their Facebook page to drool over the photos of dozens of delectable pizzas.
I need to get my chubby, pizza-loving carcass to Cardiff soon. I can’t seriously expect life to be OK until I get a few slices from Vegan Pizza Co.
Like Vegan Pizza Co. on Facebook and follow them on Instagram and Twitter.
