London vegan news, reviews & events
If you dine and drink at The Gallery Cafe in Bethnal Green often, you will probably have seen and maybe even tasted some of the bottled beers by Redchurch Brewery.
Located just around the corner from the veggie cafe, Redchurch brews are a favourite of east London locals.
Check out the list of vegan beers Redchurch will be serving at London Vegan Beer Fest this Saturday:
Here is some news that just popped into my inbox.
How gorgeous does this vegan Brazilian menu sound? Get on it, people. This pop up on June 12, 2015 is a rare event for London.
My pal Liam got in touch to ask if I would like to hear his views on Fed by Water. I recently featured news of their extensive vegan offerings but haven’t had a chance to get over to Dalston to try for myself.
Thankfully, Liam loves food as much as I do. Maybe even more.
Take it away, Liam.
You ready for some fucking fantastic news?
You can now buy vegan pasta, pizza and calzone in Dalston, London. Get the facts and then get fed!
News of this vegan-friendly eatery in east London arrived to my inbox thanks to Miriam. She wrote to alert me to the really rather impressive and inclusive menu being offered at Fed By Water on Kingsland High Street in E8.
Miriam sent me the following photo she snapped of the vegan pizza menu. Check it out.
I just received this news from the management of The Gallery Café in Bethnal Green.
Anyone up for a vegan wine night?
Do you want to learn about wine in a fun and friendly environment?
At our comedic wine tasting event you’ll sample a selection of wines and our experts will each give you their own notes on what you’re tasting.
The trick? To figure out who’s telling the truth and who’s bluffing. After tasting each wine, you’ll have to guess who’s giving you the real deal and there will be a prize for getting the most correct answers. And you’ll walk away with enough pretentious knowledge to impress your friends at their next dinner party.
Your ticket includes entry to the event, the wine, and a buffet of nibbles throughout the evening.
Friday 10 April. Doors at 7pm for a 7:30 start.
Tickets must be purchased in advance. Click here to buy.
Extra info: all the wine and food at the event will be vegan. Consume compassionately!
My giant Mexican dinner party taking place in east London is just a few weeks away. UNA CITA is a 50 person, 3 course party featuring Mexican pop music, visuals on a big screen and a welcome cocktail that will impress.
May 9, 2014 is going to be a day for the vegan eating history books.
I popped over to the venue tonight (The Gallery Cafe in Bethnal Green) for a test run of the main dish and is was nothing short of spectacular. Check it out below.
The plate features three corn tortillas filled with mouthwatering ingredients and a mound of chipotle rice in the centre. I literally pounced on my plate.

The three vegan tacos feature:
Everyone on the testing team tonight was blown away by the combination of flavours. This plate will be served after a starter of esquites and before a serving of hot, sweet churros with dipping chocolate. I will post photos of the other dishes as we workshop them over the next fortnight.

Fat Gay Vegan (that’s me!), in conjunction with The Gallery Cafe of Bethnal Green, brings you a unique take on Mexican cuisine to east London.
The tastes, sights and sounds of Mexico City are coming to London for one night only. This special event is inspired by street food of the Mexican capital and the menu has been designed by me based on my love of the city.

The Gallery Cafe will be closed to the public as we dish up mouthwatering Mexican fare, play visuals on the large screen and pump up some Mexican pop music.
The menu for the evening will include:
Welcome cocktail and snacks (non-alcoholic version of cocktail available)
Esquites (street style bowls of succulent corn kernels cooked in a savoury both and topped with mayo, chile and lime)
Soft tacos (warm corn tortillas with a hearty, spiced filling topped with fresh avocado and herbs – served with mixed rice)
Churros (hot sweetened piped doughnuts coated in cinnamon and sugar served with dipping chocolate)
This is set to be a mammoth social event filled with food and fun. Gather your best amigos and get your tickets now.
Please note: tickets are sold on a non-refundable basis although you are permitted to sell your ticket forward in the event you can no longer attend.
Ticket price includes one cocktail on arrival. Extra beer, wine, cider, soft drinks, juices and hot drinks will be sold by The Gallery Cafe.
You gotta give props to The Gallery Cafe in Bethnal Green. They don’t rest on their east London laurels and are constantly looking for inventive and tasty ways to make hungry vegans like me visit them more often.
And here they go again!
