This news is the type of news I absolutely ADORE.

The UK has a vegan fish and chips truck called Battered. I want everything they serve and I want it now!

Take a look at these fab photos they sent through to me for this blog post.

Can you see that menu?!

Vish and chips, mushy peas and battered sausage all have me feeling anxious. I need it all. They even have battered pies. What the fuck is a battered pie? Goodness, give me a battered pie right now.

Battered describe themselves as not only a vegan food business but also people who give a shit about the oceans and their community. Well, they didn’t swear but you know how I love to sass it up. They distribute literature for ocean conservation groups and when possible, they donate 10% of takings from an event to local grassroots activist groups.

You need to follow Battered on Facebook and Twitter to keep in the loop about upcoming appearances.

You can email Battered via bookings@getbattered.com if you want to ask them to cater at your event or appear at your festival. I think they are willing to go most places in the UK, or at least consider it!

Chip shop glory

SEE UPDATE FROM THE CAFE IN THE COMMENTS

There is good news and there is great news. London, you just got some bloody fantastic news.

If you grew up in this country and you weren’t always vegan, chances are you frequented a fish and chip shop. As your personal understanding of animal cruelty grew, your trips to the local chip shop probably became further apart or they ended abruptly.

So, what would you say to being able to relive childhood memories of chip shop visits while upholding your current vegan beliefs?

If you like the sound of that offer, get down to Bethnal Green!

Wednesdays are now Chip Shop Wednesdays at The Gallery Café on Old Ford Road. The cafe will be selling a specially designed dish they are calling ‘tofish and chips’ once a week on Wednesday from 5pm (apart from the final Wednesday of each month which is a different event). The tasty-sounding meal comes with one side for £7.50.

I plan on getting my hands on some vegan fish and chips at The Gallery Café as soon as possible. Watch this space!
