Vegan
A Legend In Glasgow
Mono in Glasgow has always been a special place for me.
It’s been far too long since I set foot in that glorious space. Years, in fact. Pre-COVID. But still, I think about it often. I miss it. Mono isn’t just a café bar or a music venue. It’s a cornerstone. A cultural institution. A big-hearted, fried vegan fish-slinging legend in the middle of Glasgow.

Club Mexicana On The Road
Club Mexicana is mentioned a lot on this blog.
The Mexican-inspired comfort food business has been serving London for more than 10 years and their loaded nachos are a FGV favourite.
Now people outside of London have the chance to find out why I’m always shouting about Club Mex thanks to their upcoming festival tour around (selected parts of) the UK.

FGV At Thurrock Pride
Thurrock Pride is on the horizon and I’m involved!
On Saturday 14th June, 2025 I’ll be heading to the Thameside Complex in Grays to sit on stage as part of the Pride panel line-up.

Meat Eaters Can Challenge Racism Too
I’ve been vegan for over 25 years. I’ve dedicated most of my adult life to speaking out about the exploitation of animals, celebrating plant-based innovation, and building inclusive spaces for people trying to make kinder choices.
