London vegan news, reviews & events
I like to buy vegan food and I have the perfect excuse. This blog.
When I see something new in the supermarket, I usually justify the expense by telling myself I have a duty to my readers to share the information.
It is rare for something I want to not end up in my shopping basket and you are all to blame!
But yesterday I hit a wall. Would you pay the asking price for these seasonal chocolates? I couldn’t bring myself to do it.
UK vegans, are you ready for this exclusive news?
No, you’re not ready. This is BIG news.
OK, go.
This isn’t going to be visually pleasing. I’m sorry in advance.
Do you love taking photos of your food during a night out? If so, how do you feel when those perfect snaps are ruined by fancy restaurant lighting? You know the sort. The kind of lighting that is meant to be atmospheric but in reality just stops you from seeing what is on your plate or who is across the table.
This was exactly the scenario during my visit to a vegan-friendly (but dimly lit) 100% gluten free restaurant in the northern UK city of Leeds.
Leeds is on fire for vegan food.
You’ve seen my recent post about the wonderful fry-up I enjoyed a few weekends back and now I’m revisiting the northern city to let you know about probably the finest Sunday roast you are going to get anywhere in the country.
I don’t even drink coffee but find myself presenting you with a second piece of vegan news this week related to one of the biggest coffee chains in the country.
Two days ago I told you about the vegan mince pie being sold at Caffè Nero and today I bring you word of another plant-based offering from the country-wide high street business.
You might think it would be an easy task to find a decent cooked vegan breakfast in the UK, but sadly we don’t have a lot of noteworthy contenders.
For some mysterious reason, we are experiencing a lean period for outstanding fry ups.
This lack of hot morning meals forces me to search high and low across the country and when I find a decent breakfast, I like to shout about it.
Check out this glorious selection I recently enjoyed in the northern city of Leeds.
It is time.
The leaves have turned, the wind is whistling and Caffè Nero has started selling its vegan mince pie.
I picked up my first mince pie of the season at the Caffè Nero in Richmond today.
Releasing a vegan mince pie is now seemingly a yearly tradition for the coffee chain.
Have you tried one this year?
The Old Ship W6 has recently been making improvements for vegan diners in West London.
The gorgeous pub perched on a stretch of the Thames between Hammersmith and Chiswick has been offering a small selection of vegan options for a while now, but the kitchen staff have just taken the plant-based menu to another level.
Check out the photos below of the best vegan pub food in London. We ate and ate and ate during our visit last night.
Get your credit card at the ready. It is time to order Christmas cookies, brownies, fudge and even lemon curd online and have them delivered to your home!
Keep scrolling to see the gorgeous haul of vegan treats delivered to my house yesterday by the award-winning Hannah Banana Bakery.
This is some tasty-looking food news.
Fry’s Family Foods have got new products launching in the UK and you can be one of the first people to sample them.
I know a lot of you already tried (and bought) the new Soy & Quinoa Country Roast when it was launched at VegfestUK London last month, but did you know there are three more brand new Fry’s products on UK shelves this month?
Check them out below.
