London vegan news, reviews & events
Post by:
Well I’m not sure what the government have in mind when they talk about the Northern Powerhouse, but perhaps they are referring to the proliferation of 100% vegan establishments that are springing up north of Watford. In recent weeks, I’ve told you about Love Juice in Manchester and Lolo’s in Ramsbottom. Now it’s time to head over the Pennines to Huddersfield where there’s a new kid on the block (pun intended).
The provisional (and I’m fairly certain) date for London Vegan Beer Fest 2016 is Saturday July 16. I keep getting asked so I thought I’d better get it out there.
You can like the Vegan Beer Fest UK Facebook and Twitter pages for updates on not only the London event, but also the Glasgow and Manchester versions taking place later in the year.
Get your favourite drinking outfit ready and tell all your friends.
More details soon.
See you in the Summer!
Get your drinking trousers on. Norwich has a vegan-friendly brewery!
Redwell Brewing has the following to say about vegan beer on their website:
Here’s some news that is certain to ruffle your faux-feathers.
My buddy Brendan has just told me that an airline is expecting him to pay €15 for a vegan meal when non-vegan passengers get a meal included in their ticket price.
Check out what he says about the incident:
Josh got back home from a week long trip to the USA, so of course I was expecting some vegan treats.
He didn’t let me down.
Even with his meagre carry on baggage allowance, he managed to squeeze in the following goodies for me.
Leicester, you have a new vegan cake mogul and the stuff they are selling looks delicious!
V:GD is about as healthy as cake can get, but without sacrificing the taste.
Towns and cities around the UK are taking part in a vegan revolution.
It feels as though I am posting one entry a week about a new vegan shop or cafe opening somewhere in the country.
Next up? Exmouth!
Exmouth is a coastal town in Devon, a region situated in the south west of England. It isn’t a huge town, but they certainly seem to have enough people to support this brand new vegan business called Plantbased.
A vegetarian Italian restaurant that has long attracted vegans has shut its doors in London.
Amico Bio has posted the following message on its website:
We are very sorry to inform you that our Holborn restaurant will be closed due to a restructuring programme, however, our Barbican branch will remain open as usual with extended opening hours. We do apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Please check back for further updates.
I’m not sure if that means the Holborn branch is gone forever, but if you are a fan of Amico Bio you can still visit their remaining central London location at 44 Cloth Fair.
How do you feel about the Holborn Amico Bio closing?
Wanna see the glorious vegan groceries I bought yesterday?
Scroll down below for the killer line up of goods I snagged from Vegan Ville, the fabulous vegan grocery store in Mexico City.
Even for someone as obsessed with food as I am, these groceries pushed me into the realm of super happy.
Josh has left me all alone in Mexico City for a week to jet off to the USA.
He took some time out of his busy schedule of enjoying sunshine and making eyes at alligators in Florida to send me the following photos he took in a Whole Foods Market outlet.
Check out all the amazing vegan products rammed into these fridges!
