vegan Brick Lane

Queen Picnic now trading in London

by

I thought you all needed to know that Queen Picnic is up and running at the Boiler House on Brick Lane every Saturday and Sunday.

What the hell is Queen Picnic I hear you shriek?

Queen Picnic is a food stand selling vegan sandwiches with fillings they make themselves, such as ‘smoked salmon’ carrot, spicy ‘beef’ seitan, jackfruit ‘bacon’ and chickpea of the sea salad. They told me they are continually developing their recipes all the time as they want to make the best tasting sandwiches around.

Queen Picnic is a two-woman 100% vegan workforce and they’re the first to say they are pretty new to the food stall game. But as I have discovered during my years as a prolific food inspector, sometimes the people with not much experience but a lot of enthusiasm can get it very correct.

Check out some of what is happening at Queen Picnic.

New vegan food stand for London

by

New vegan food stand alert, London!

Tell Siri or Alexa to set a reminder for June 10, 2017 because you have a date with Wake ‘N Bake, a brand new vegan street food experience set to trade at The Boiler House on Brick Lane every weekend.

What sets this food stand apart from what we currently have on offer in the UK capital is the fact they are all about fully-loaded baked potatoes and homemade sausages turned into gourmet hot dogs.

Check out the menu that will be served Saturdays between 11am and 6pm, as well as Sundays between 10am and 5pm:

Baked potatoes with homemade vegan fillings

  • The Fully Monty – vegan butter, vegan cheese, baked beans, homemade WNB ‘sausage’, grilled onions, crispy ‘bacon’ bites
  • Taste of Istanbul – vegan butter, vegan cheese, olives, sweetcorn, gherkin, homemade WNB ‘sausage’, ketchup, vegan mayo
  • Grandma’s Meatballs – vegan butter, vegan cheese, olives, homemade WNB ‘meatballs’, marinara sauce, homemade ‘parmesan’
  • Something Phishy – vegan butter, vegan cheese, homemade WNB ‘tuna’ with sweetcorn and vegan mayo

(Customers can choose to make their own combination by choosing one protein and unlimited fillings)

Vegan hot dogs

  • Standard Dog – homemade WNB ‘sausage’, grilled onions, ketchup, mustard
  • Snoop Dog – homemade WNB ‘sausage’, grilled onions, olives, gherkin, pickled cabbage, sriracha hot sauce, vegan mayo

You’ve drooled over the Wake ‘N Bake menu so it’s time to look at some photos.

New vegan pizza for London

by

Hey London, you privileged pack of plant-based consumerists. You have a brand new vegan pizza business launching this weekend!

Little Leaf is launching at the Sunday Upmarket between 10am and 5pm on April 30, 2017. They’ll be serving vegan pizza and cookies for launch day and plan to introduce monthly specials to bring variety to their menu.

Little Leaf Food is a vegan catering business looking to teach people how to be more conscious of what they eat, both for humane and environmental reasons. They collaborate with the Nomadic Community Gardens where they donate their leftover produce to the café so the proceeds go towards the upkeep of the space. They also grow their own produce at the gardens and use this in their recipes. They tell me their aim is to demonstrate the ease of becoming vegan.

So about that food they will be serving this Sunday?

You can pick up a whole pizza for £7 (choose from pesto/zucchini, rosemary/cheese, or tomato sauce/cheese/basil) and cookies for £2 each or 3 for £5.

Welcome to the London vegan food scene, Little Leaf!

You can visit Little Leaf online and follow them on Facebook and Instagram. Their food photos will make you smile.

Vegan Vietnamese food in London

by

How about this tasty news?!

Liz and Joe are a couple with big plans for their brand new vegan food stand being launched at The Boiler House in Brick Lane on February 25, 2017.

What’s so special about ANOTHER vegan food stall in that part of London? Take a deep breath as I tell you Eat Chay is a 100% plant-based Vietnamese food stall!

Before I show you some mouthwatering food photos, take a look at how the Eat Chay menu is going to work.

That all sounds RIDICULOUSLY fabulous.

Now for the photos. Vietnamese coffee and tea. Korean meat-free ribs. Start planning your first meal with Eat Chay now.

Be sure to follow Eat Chay on Twitter and Instagram. Plus, get all their details online.

Get down for the grand opening on February 25 and then visit Eat Chay each and every weekend following that at The Boiler House.

Extra note: neither Liz or Joe are vegan but have decided to invest all of their efforts into a 100% vegan food business. Interesting.

Best vegan donuts in London

by

London. You are onto a good wicket.

(Does ‘good wicket’ actually mean anything? Am I using that term correctly?)

After a short time away from the action, the glorious Peanut Butter Bakery is BACK to its usual weekend haunt at The Boiler House market on Brick Lane (see location on Google Maps).

Peanut Butter Bakery caused an absolute sensation at my vegan Christmas market, with people lining up for an extremely long time to get hands and lips on their sensational donuts.

If you think you would enjoy eating the best vegan donuts in the UK, get along to The Boiler House on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 February, 2017. You will be unbelievably happy if you make the effort to get along.

To inspire you, here is a photo just posted by Peanut Butter Bakery detailing some of the things you should be excited about this weekend.
