London vegan news, reviews & events
Many UK vegans are used to relying on chain restaurant Wagamama when they are out and about. With more than 100 locations around the country, it seems you are never too far from one of these pan-Asian outlets.
I have previously featured a brief post about the Wagamama chain in which Josh gave his opinion on the plant-based offerings. You can read that here or keep scrolling down this page to see the brand new vegan dish added to the menu.
Hey, chocolate lovers. Here is some fab news.
There is a new vegan chocolate company in the UK and you can order their decadent bars online for delivery.

Here is a first.
A blog post recommending delicious vegan food based on one of my journeys, but with no photos.
Why no photos? Let me explain.
Here is a quick post from Paris about a fabulous vegan burger restaurant with two locations.
Actually, M.O.B. is a chain with three locations. Two of these are situated in Paris while the original is in Brooklyn, U.S.A.
My trip a few nights back to the Rue Charlot location in Paris was a tremendous success. Every part of the experience was gorgeous, from the food all the way to the decor. The person taking my order talked me through the entire menu and I couldn’t have been happier with the service.
Check out the photo below of my delicious smoked burger, kale salad and beer.
I would recommend this as a wonderful place to get 100% vegan food anytime you are in Paris. I wanna go back now!
Visit the M.O.B. website to see all their locations, menus and opening times.
It is the time of year when people start eating things they would otherwise not consider eating.
Take the humble fruit mince pie as an example.
This unusual blend of dried fruits, spices, sugar and pastry is a staple at the end of the year. People eat them as snacks, buy them to go with their cup of tea and even give boxes of the things to friends and family. Fruit mince pies are everywhere but only as we approach the frenzy of Christmas. If people love these things so dearly, why aren’t they eaten year round?
Now one of the biggest coffee shop chains in the UK has joined the festive food frenzy by selling a vegan version of this traditional snack.
I’ve never been to Exeter. I don’t think. I would remember if I had been to Exeter in my life, right?
I’m pretty certain I have never been to Exter in Devon but if I wanted to go, I now know of two pubs that each have a vegan menu for me to work my way through.
The Farmers Union and The Twisted Oak are two pubs owned by the same people and fortunately for the vegans and vegan-curious of the region, these people have decided to add an entire selection of vegan meals to their menus.

Glasgow has got the goods for vegans. You can’t walk a few blocks without stumbling upon a vegan-friendly eatery or bar in the city centre.
Of course the plant-based eating isn’t just confined to the town centre and a short bus ride or taxi fare will deliver you to the most wonderful venue with a 100% vegan food menu.

Here is some news you don’t hear everyday.
London has a brand new organic grocery store that is completely vegan. Yep. Read it again to make sure.
I am a bit of a fan of the chain of cafes called Le Pain Quotidien. They are not a vegan company but they do have an impressive range of permanent dishes suitable for plant eaters on their menu. I often pop in to my local LPQ for the creamy cashew butter parfait and a vegan muffin.
As you might recall, I recently hosted a vegan baking class at the LPQ location in Borough. It was a runaway success, with the available spaces booking out in record time and attendees singing LPQ‘s praises across social media.
My favourite thing to come out of my partnership with LPQ was the sneak peek they gave me of their tasty-sounding vegan Christmas menu. Yep. That’s right. A London-wide chain of non-vegan cafes has a dedicated three-course dinner for vegans in the month leading up to Christmas.
