London vegan news, reviews & events
Did you all know that I am from Australia?
I grew up in a city called Brisbane. Actually, I spent my younger years in a seaside town called Redcliffe just north of Brisbane and later moved to the Queensland capital as a teenager.
Where you grow up always holds a unique place in your memories, so it was exciting to hear I had been mentioned in my hometown newspaper in connection to my blogging and event planning in the UK.

Here is a super short post to show you a photo of the best vegan burger on the planet.
Are you ready?
You all know I work with Fry’s Family Foods, right?
Just want to get that disclaimer out the way straight up. I don’t write about the brand very often on my blog, but I have some news that a lot of you will want to know.
You can buy the entire Fry’s Family Foods range for half the regular price via Ocado. Yes, that’s right. 50% off. You can click here to see all the products.
The special offer ends on Tuesday May 26, 2015.
Select Morrisons stores also carry some of the Fry’s range and these are also half price for a limited time.
After hearing about this product for many months, I finally saw it in the freezer at a Whole Foods Market store in Los Angeles today.
Now this is going to sound strange, but I couldn’t bring myself to buy it.
Josh is back with another airline meal report from his recent trip to Turkey. He already filled you in on his inflight meal on the way there and soon he’ll have a full report about vegan offerings in Istanbul. In the meantime read all about his meal on the way back…
I recently asked the question “Is Violife the best melting cheese in the UK?” and many people replied in the affirmative.
However, some readers asked a question of their own. They wanted to know where in the country they could buy this vegan cheese.
Well, I’m happy to report I have an update on where you can pick up this plant-based favourite.
A super considerate reader named Jon reached out to me today to let me know he found the Violife brand in an Asda store. This vegan cheese is spreading across the UK faster than I can handle!
Check out Jon’s haul of the good stuff in his shopping trolley.
Josh and I are currently in San Diego visiting friends and dropping in on some of our favourite eateries.
We took a drive yesterday to one of the best (the best?) vegan fast food outlets on the planet, only to find a strange scene playing out in the parking lot.
As we pulled up to Evolution, we noticed a swarm of work trucks in the lot and people hurrying about cleaning and washing equipment. My heart sank as it looked as though my favourite place to eat in San Diego had closed down.
The truth is even more upsetting.
My inbox just blew up big time.
Every single person in the UK is desperate to let me know that my fab monthly party, Queer Vegan Disco, was mentioned on a Channel 4 program tonight. The Night Bus is a fly-on-the-wall docu-series that showcases the people of London as they attempt to get home on the night bus network in the early hours following the closure of the Underground trains.
Tonight featured the number 29 from Wood Green which means the wonderful Michelle and Mat were featured moments after leaving Queer Vegan Disco.

I’m currently in California where I’m enjoying sunshine, friends and a hell of a lot of fabulous vegan food.
The place where these three components met in perfect unison was the 6th Annual Los Angeles Vegan Beer & Food Festival. Thousands and thousands of revellers converged on the Rose Bowl in Pasadena for a day of drinking, eating and socialising.
Check out some of the impressive food photos I shot on the day, as well as photos taken by my friends. Try not to drool.
Josh is our guest writer today and he is bringing us some news that might very well change the way you eat in Central London.
Take it away, Josh.
