Vegan fish and chips in a gay bar

London, you had better rush out to this event.

Independent bars and businesses struggle uphill to survive in the UK capital. Rent prices are absurd and the general cost of living is extortionate.

These sky high costs are the reason why we have to get out of our homes and support local business. If you’ve got the means to do it, for fuck’s sake do it.

Use it or lose it.

In the spirit of guilting you into supporting other Londoners, I’m thrilled to let you know of a very special event taking place in Camden tonight (Wednesday March 1, 2017) and every first Wednesday of the month going forward.

This is what you need to know.

Queer Goes Nothing is a fab monthly night of live acoustic music in the heart of Camden at new LGBTQ venue, Her Upstairs.

Not only should three incredible independent bands get your interest up, but the kitchen in the venue is being taken over by BigV London. Yep, BigV is the vegan burger stand adored by regulars at Borough Market.

However…. (this is where it gets interesting)

For their involvement in tonight’s version of Queer Goes Nothing, the BigV people will be serving vegan fish and chips.

So you have live acoustic bands, a vegan business selling vegan fish and chips, a fab Camden location AND free entry.

If you have a few quid spare and are in London and you DON’T go to this event, please don’t bother coming to my house for Christmas. Two reasons: I don’t celebrate Christmas and I probably won’t be talking to you.

RSVP and invite people on the Facebook event page.

Her Upstairs should be followed on Facebook for upcoming version of this wonderful night plus other interesting happenings. You can see the bar location on Google Maps.

BigV can be seen here.

London vegetarian burger stand turning vegan!

This is fantastic news.

You might very well have heard of a meat free burger business called The Veggie Table. This well-known fast cuisine trader has been selling its food at Borough Market for 10 years.

But there are some big changes on the horizon.

The Veggie Table is changing its name to Big V. Why the change? Big V is going to be a 100% vegan food stand.

Everyone at The Veggie Table is vegan. All the cooks, all the servers and even their promotional people are plant-based so they felt it was time to start trading by their principles. The final non-vegan holdout is a Halloumi burger which is set to be phased out as the vegan makeover takes hold.

Make sure you get down to The Veggie Table/Big V to congratulate them on deciding to make the switch to 100% cruelty-free.

If you make your visit coincide with St. George’s Day on April 24, 2016, you will witness the food stand serving their regular ‘V dog sausage’ as a ‘Sausage Sarnie’ and ‘Facon Butties’. That sounds like food heaven to my ears.

Follow Big V on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram before you check out these photos of their tasty burgers below.
