London vegan news, reviews & events
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.
You can’t stop this runaway vegan train.
Henderson’s Bistro of Edinburgh posted the following on their Facebook page yesterday:
This is not a vegan meal you will be able to get your hands on, unless I can talk my mother-in-law into staging a supper club with me.
We recently celebrated both Josh and his sister Sophia completing their university degrees, so that meant a jumbo vegan meal with the family to mark the occasion.
Check out the glorious Middle Eastern inspired meal Sara prepared for our party. Don’t drool!
I popped into vegan boutique Vx in King’s Cross today and was delighted to see them now selling gorgeous calzone and pizza by FED By Water.
This mini pizza was the perfect mid-afternoon snack for one.

Just a very quick post to tell you about a new bar I discovered in Holland & Barrett today. Made by NatureCrops in the Netherlands, this bar features puffed quinoa with rice syrup which gives a lovely soft and chewy consistency.
Are these new? I hadn’t noticed them before. The bars come in four flavours (one of which isn’t vegan) and I chose the dark chocolate and almond flavour. It was delicious and perfect for a mid-afternoon snack. These will no-doubt become standard inclusions for future road trips and plane journeys.

Super short post for anyone in (or interested in being in) Birmingham this weekend.
Yay for vegan food traders at local events!
I also like the sound of a mobile gin bar.

UPDATE: After posting this story, I was contacted by Two Towers Brewery who told me their ales will be vegan during the event as well. Drink, eat and be extremely merry!
London don’t freak out, but you have a double decker bus serving 100% vegan Italian food within your midst.
You are not dreaming this blog post.
Josh and I got along to the Just Fab bus on Saturday for some of the most glorious vegan food in London.
I hate to do this to you, but get ready to fly into a jealous rage when you see everything we devoured during our visit.
Yay for Ayr in Scotland!
The Chestnuts Hotel in Ayr is a pleasant surprise for vegans. My buddy Kay messaged me last night to let me know the restaurant in this gorgeous hotel has a lunch menu for vegans and a dinner menu for vegans. (Both links open as PDFs)
Have any readers been along to The Chestnuts Hotel? What did you think?
After telling you about the airline food from his flight there and his flight back, Josh has finally found time to write about his recent work trip to Istanbul and it sounds so amazing that I think I’ll be booking a ticket to go there myself. Read on to find out what Josh had to say:
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.
