Vegan fish and chips

by

My friend Kay is living the highlife in Sydney, Australia and she is absolutely thrilled to be able to tease me constantly with all the fabulous vegan food advancements that have taken place down under since I departed over six years ago.

One of the best pieces of news she has sent me involves a vegan fish and chip shop called Bliss & Chips.

Located on King Street in inner city Newtown, Bliss & Chips is a gluten free and completely vegan chippy!

Check out some of the photos Kay sent over, including her favourite ‘duck’ burger. Can you spot that deep-fried Jokerz bar on the photo wall? I’m drooling!

I’m getting a bit emotional thinking of potato scallops. They are childhood favourites of mine and I don’t know where to get them done vegan in the UK.

Dear Bliss & Chips. You are my heroes and I hope you inspire people all over the planet to open similar outlets.

Is this a UK first?

Word has just reached me of a vegan fish and chip shop being readied for a grand opening in the UK city of Bristol. Is this the first 100% vegan chip shop in the country?

There are very few details at the moment but Jason, one of the owners of the new venture, wanted me to pass on this information to anyone who was curious or had heard whispers:

I’m one half of a partnership that is starting Bristol’s first 100% vegan chip shop next month. We are taking over a Chinese take-away in the city and converting it to a vegan take-away. We will be serving regular things you get in a take-away like curry sauce, gravy, mushy peas, there will be pea fritters and battered sausages and tofish too. Most of the ingredients will be organic. I’ll let you know more soon as we are in the process of getting our marketing side together and working on the images and fonts. The chip shop will be called Matter Battered and we are working on the shop front this week.

Wow!

Rest assured that I will bring you details, photos and links as soon as they are available.

Anyone excited?!
