Get your drinking trousers on. Norwich has a vegan-friendly brewery!
Redwell Brewing has the following to say about vegan beer on their website:
Pay more for vegan
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:
Treats for me
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.
Vegan cake in Leicester
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.
Plantbased Exmouth
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.
Another one closed
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?
Fat Gay Vegan walks into a grocery store
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.
Ultimate vegan shopping
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!
Jackfruit burger and fries
London, get hungry.
The Duke’s Head pub in Highgate is known as a specialty beer pub, but also as a supporter of independent food traders in the capital. Each month, the kitchen at the Duke’s Head is handed over to caterers as a form of rolling pop-up kitchen.
Pulled Food is the current trader. The meat-centric food providers have a lot of animal products on their menu, but good news for plant eaters is the inclusion of a BBQ jackfruit burger being served for the entire month of February (2016).
Check out the glory in the photos below.
Nut cheese masterclass
Love nut cheese but not sure what in the world you would need to do in order to make it?
This class is for you, London!
My friends at Made in Hackney have organised a superb sounding vegan cheese masterclass in partnership with raw chef and nutritional therapist, Bruna Oliveira.
Bruna says of the event:
