London vegan news, reviews & events
Post by:
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.

For some foolish reason, I agreed to meet a colleague for a coffee in Covent Garden on the last Saturday before Christmas. The streets got busier as time went on and when our meeting came to an end just before lunchtime, I needed to find somewhere for a quick bite to eat away from the crowds. I immediately remembered the Wild Food Cafe in Neal’s Yard. I’d heard so much about it, but never had the chance to visit.
Here it is. My ultimate sweeping declaration.
I visited a restaurant a few days ago and it turned out to be the best vegan dining experience I have ever enjoyed in the UK. I am pretty sure I could stretch the ‘best’ label to encompass all of Europe, too.
See the food photos below.
Say hello to Wildebeest in Falmouth, Cornwall.
Wildebeest is a world class dining set up and everything about the restaurant is what I want in a vegan establishment. The menu is exquisite and inventive, yet still familiar and comforting. The wine list is of course 100% vegan and cocktail lovers can choose from mojitos, martinis and Cosmopolitans. The people working in Wildebeest are friendly and the service was second to none. The decor is gorgeous while the entire space is comfortable and charming.
Can you tell I’m in love?
Just wait until you see the food!
I adore the name of this raw cake business. Paradise Unbakery. Unbakery! Get it?!
The gorgeous creations of this independent business first caught my eye a few weeks back and I meant to let you all know about it sooner, but it slipped my mind until I was browsing my photos today.
Check out these gorgeous raw vegan chocolate and cherry cakes.
You wanna see something that I absolutely adored eating? I don’t mean it was just OK or it was kind of alright, I mean this thing was fabulous and I want to eat it all the time.

The UK is experiencing a vegan revolution. News has broken of a vegan raw food cafe opening in the Northern town of Warrington.
What? You don’t know where Warrington is on a map? Here you go.
Funky Gourmet is a new vegan food endeavour that you might want to take notice of if you were a fan of Saf.
Fatih Guven (head chef and founder of Funky Gourmet catering) used to work as head chef in Saf at Zerwick in Munich as well as Saf Shoreditch and Saf Kensington in London. Fatih now works as a personal and private chef, preparing meals for clients according to their special nutritional requirements. He caters for events, weddings and birthdays.
This is all sounds wonderful but what if you aren’t getting married anytime soon? Can you still get some of the good stuff?
You bet.
Faith is running an incredible-sounding event for just one night in west London. Check out this menu!
Somebody call my therapist. This was my second raw meal in a month and I’m a bit frightened by how much I enjoyed the experience.
Have you been to Nama in Notting Hill?
My buddy Kay has just sent me some fab photos and info following on from her trip to a raw vegan cake cafe in Prague. How awesome is that?!
Check out the photos below (including a wonderful pug portrait) and see what Kay had to say about the experience.
Here we go. I know you love my grand sweeping declarations.
The Essential Vegan pop up cafe at 297 Portobello Road in West London is currently serving the best vegan food in London. No doubt about it being number one in my FGV opinion.
I ate there today and was so moved by the delicious cuisine, I almost cried. I was overwhelmed with joy. London has been playing catch up with other international cities when it comes to outstanding plant-based eating and I feel we have come of age.
Check out the heavenly food from earlier today.
