I get asked daily (often multiple times a day) to share details of my favourite vegan meal in London.
I don’t think about it. I don’t deliberate. I answer quickly and succinctly.
My favourite vegan meal in London is…
London
Incredible menu at Black Cat
International Vegan Junk Food Day 2015 is fast approaching and many restaurants and stores around the planet are lining up deals, offers and special #IVJFD15 menus for the celebrations on Saturday August 29, 2015.
One London-based cafe is coming to the #IVJFD15 party in a big, BIG way.
Check out this stunning vegan menu created by Black Cat Café Hackney for International Vegan Junk Food Day.
More Than Meat
Do you remember when I wrote about More Than Meat burgers? Sure you do! (If you really don’t, click here)
More Than Meat has been serving up their brand of vegan meat alternatives for several months in Tunbridge Wells but the food vendor has moved on and is now trading once a week in a market situated in Richmond, West London.
I paid Barry and his food stand a visit yesterday, so scroll down and check out some of the tastiness I encountered.
Gay vegan health spa
I write about some left of centre stuff, but this is a new one even for me. London now has a regular vegan health spa aimed at gay and bisexual men. Yes, that’s right. A vegan/gay spa.
The organiser of S-WET alerted me to the existence of the spa and asked if I could share the information.
S-WET is located in the north London suburb of Wood Green and hosts events on Thursday and Friday nights each week. It contains a sauna, a steam room, a hot tub and relaxation lounges.
What is this about the vegan part?
S-WET bills itself as a vegan-friendly spa. The venue sells and serves vegan food and drink, as well as hosts vegan-specific events. Gay Naked Vegans is one such event that takes place on Friday 18th September, 2015 and is labelled as “an all-you-can-eat s-wet fest”. The organiser describes this clothing optional get together as a place “to indulge in a piquant and colourful medley of flavours”.
If any of this has raised your interest (ahem), you can check out S-WET online, follow the spa on Twitter or like it on Facebook.
Extra note: As I will not be eating and drinking naked in front of other people, I would love if a reader would go along and file a report for my blog. Go on. You know you want to!
I idolize you
This is a massive blog post. Actually, scratch that. It is a MASSIVE blog post.
Get your scrolling finger ready and dive head first into this incredibly interesting interview I recently conducted with the fabulous Marc Massive of the band Massive Ego.
We talk music, Boy George, veganism, fashion, love and more.
This is one of my favourite posts in a long time so I’m sure you’ll love the read, too.
Laugh and drink beer
Breaking news
I am thrilled to announce an exclusive performance by comedian Jack Yapp on the London Vegan Beer Fest stage.

Jake works hard to make people laugh, as he will be doing during his residency as part of Camden Fringe in August. Between August 10 and 23, you can check out Jake’s One-Derland show where he picks apart a day in the life of BBC1 in order to examine the future of the Beeb.

Vegan wine for miles
London Vegan Beer Fest is about beer, food and music.
Oh, yeah. It is also about vegan wine. A hell of a lot of vegan wine.
