London vegan news, reviews & events
My buddy Jhenn took over the kitchen at Veg Bar in Brixton a few weeks back and she is now getting into the swing of things as she launches her new menu tonight.
Get along to 45 Tulse Hill from 5pm today (Saturday July 25, 2015) for live music and a new vegan menu that looks delicious.
Check out the photos below.
We have all been so excited to have Veg Bar in our midst. This 100% vegan bar and restaurant in Brixton has quickly established itself as a hangout place for London vegans and their friends.
Rock ‘n’ Roll Vegan Brunch takes place every Saturday and is always buzzing with vegan food enthusiasts and hard liquor connoisseurs.
Yep, Veg Bar has enjoyed a solid start out of the box but now changes are in the air to take this south London eatery to the next level.
Big news the first: Chef Jhenn of The Vegan Ronin is now the head chef of Veg Bar. Jhenn is known to hundreds of you as an amazing pop up supper club chef who has fans all over the planet. Seriously. She gets repeat customers from as far away as the USA and Japan.
Check out the super fresh and totally vegan menu Jhenn has launched this week to celebrate taking over the Veg Bar kitchen:
Do you want to eat one of these fabulous vegan cupcakes made to celebrate London Pride AND raise money for a charity helping LGBT homeless youth at the same time?
Yes?

Veg Bar in Brixton is already known for lovely savoury dishes, but now the South London cafe/restaurant/watering hole is branching out into the world of gourmet vegan desserts.
Check out the stunning treats the kitchen surprised me with during Rock ‘n’ Roll Vegan Brunch yesterday.
I’ve got news for you that you are going to love.
Check out these amazing vegan breakfast options served at Veg Bar every Sunday between midday and 3pm.
The top photo shows one of the best vegan fry ups in London. My plate last week was stacked with deliciousness, including handmade hash browns. Not sure anyone else in London is doing that.
You can also see the breakfast burrito Josh enjoyed. It was crammed with rice, tofu scramble and a whole host of ingredients. He adored it.
These items are only available between midday and 3pm on Sunday at Veg Bar at 45 Tulse Hill, Brixton.
Good news gets better…
My new day club called Rock Queer takes place in the downstairs club underneath Veg Bar every Sunday between 1pm and 7pm. We play a wide range of alternative rock tunes and the bar serves vegan beer, wine and cocktails.
You can fill your tummy upstairs and then join us downstairs for a few hours of awesome music and socialising.

I was stumbling away from Rock ‘n’ Roll Vegan Brunch yesterday when I noticed a new store situated just a few steps down Tulse Hill (five doors away from Veg Bar) in Brixton.
Health and Pastry looked to be a small health food store with some interesting groceries, so I popped in for a quick inspection.
To my complete surprise, I was greeted by the following sight.
Need another event in your life?
Coming very soon to London is a brand new weekly event that just happens to be in a 100% vegan venue.
Rock Queer is a space for LGBT Londoners and their friends to enjoy guitar, rock, metal, alternative and indie music. The event is taking over the downstairs nightclub underneath Veg Bar at 45 Tulse Hill, Brixton.
But there is a twist to this weekly event. Rock Queer takes place in the day.
Calling on the long-loved tradition of day clubs and Sunday afternoon sessions, Rock Queer will run at its Brixton location between 1pm and 7pm. The first-ever outing for Rock Queer takes place on Sunday May 31, 2015 and continues every week.
The bar will be stocked with ice cold beer and every drink sold is set to be 100% vegan. Hungry? Head upstairs to Veg Bar for delicious dishes all day long.
Rock Queer is THE queer alternative. Make Sunday just that little bit louder.
Breaking news rarely comes bigger than when a vegetarian venue turns vegan. It’s a big deal around these parts. Just see here and here for recent examples.
We got another one, people!
Veg Bar on Tulse Hill in Brixton has only been open for slightly longer than a month, but already the management felt it was time for a change. As of Thursday May 7, 2015 the south London restaurant and bar will be 100% vegan.
Amazing!
To celebrate this monumental shift, I am helping Veg Bar throw a giant celebration on their first vegan day and we want you to be at the party.
All you need to do is reserve a free ticket.
The first ever Rock ‘n’ Roll Vegan Brunch was a rollicking runaway success yesterday.
Music was played. Beer was guzzled. Food was devoured.
A million thanks to Dave and the team at Vegbar for helping me bring this wonderful event to life. Chef Christian deserves a standing ovation for his mouthwatering soul food plate. Several guests declared it the best brunch they have ever eaten in London.
Check out this pic my buddy Jhenn posted on Instagram.
The biscuits and gravy were a smash hit. Every single attendee raved about them.
Much love and appreciation to Clarkshaws for coming along to set up a beer sampling station, especially as they have a big party to plan for in the near future. Their vegan beers were adored by everyone who got a chance to try them and I’m happy they are now permanently available at Vegbar.
What a wonderful event.
If you missed out this weekend, don’t stress. Rock ‘n’ Roll Vegan Brunch is now a full time concern for hungry Londoners. It takes place every single Saturday between 10am and 3pm.
Come along!

OK. That’s out of the way. Now for the reason for this blog post.
I am thrilled to welcome Clarkshaws Brewing as the first-ever special guest at Rock ‘n’ Roll Vegan Brunch on Saturday April 18, 2015.
