If you spend as much time as I do wandering the streets of East London, you might already know about this new-ish spot.
Today I was taking a stroll back from Mandala Cafe when I happened to glance across Roman Road and spotted a place called Somewhere Green. Curious, I popped in to ask if they had anything vegan on the food menu.
How about The Coven of Wiches, a completely plant-based deli and bar tucked inside (the bones of) an old Edwardian cinema in Walthamstow’s Wood Street Market?
Let’s just say… this isn’t your average vegan sandwich shop.
Time flies when you are releasing the most low-effort DIY podcast on the planet.
Episode 50 of a weekly podcast means Josh and I are coming up on a full year of the Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) podcast. If you have been watching all that time, I know you are not any wiser for it but hopefully we’ve been keeping you company.
The latest episode features chat about vegan pizza in Brighton, the sadness of UK seaside towns, and the strange career choices of Scarlett Johansson.
You can catch up on this latest episode via the platforms below and probably a few others I don’t know about because I am so DIY and cool. I don’t even know where my pod is published!
Follow Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) on Instagram and Threads.

It’s with a heavy heart that I write about the closure of Dr Legumes, the beloved plant-based business that has served up thought-provoking food, community care, and a whole lot of heart for the past decade.
Tucked away in the small Welsh town of Cwmavon, not far from Port Talbot in the preserved county of West Glamorgan, is a local pub called The Brit.
This pub is doing a lot when it comes to vegan food. This is not your usual one sad option on a menu of meat-heavy dishes. This is a flavour-packed, well-thought-out vegan experience and I want to shout about it.
I’ve enjoyed the opportunities I’ve had to work with many compassionate and creative vegan businesses over the past 15 years. Being able to merge my love for vegan food, community, and activism into meaningful collaborations has felt like a true privilege.
I have never believed that being vegan should stop at just avoiding animal products.
Don’t get me wrong. I love animals and won’t eat or wear them for the rest of my life. But if we’re going to build a better world for animals, we need to take a serious look at the systems that hurt people too.
