London vegan news, reviews & events
I hear some many positive bits of news and info about Hornett Wholefoods in Wellingborough that I thought a few of you would like to know the shop is throwing a 2nd anniversary party on January 7, 2017.
Check the old school flyer.
Everything being handed out as a gift on the day is vegan, even the glasses of Prosecco.
Get along to this much-loved store in Northamptonshire and support their birthday.
You can follow the shop on Facebook or see where they are located on their website.
Super quick update to share today’s vegan grocery haul video.
Watch to see all the latest plant-based goods I picked up from my local Tesco.
Enjoy!
If you don’t follow me over on my Facebook page, you missed out on the hilarity that is my Sainsbury’s shopping adventure.
Thankfully, the social network now allows for video embedding so you no longer have to suffer in the wilderness.
Check it out:
This was filmed at Sainsbury’s in Chiswick, West London.
Here’s a super quick blog post to let you know about a supermarket find that has me grinning.
How terrific do these look?!
All three bottles were spotted in my local Waitrose and all were on special offer.
Which one would you start with?
The huge opening of GreenBay Supermarket has passed us by but I wanted to go back and say a BIG thank you to the sponsors who made the fantastic goodie bags possible for the invited guests of the sneak preview.
Click on the video below to see the contents of the bag.
Amazing! What’s your favourite item?
Lots of love and thanks to Vegan Life Magazine, Moo Free Chocolates, Pudology, Sheese, Coconut Collaborative, Rebel Kitchen Mylks and Fry’s Family Foods.
Good times and yay for sponsors!
Buy all the above and a whole lot more at GreenBay in West London.
I very rarely get to bring you news this huge, so hold on tight to your green smoothies.
London, you have a brand new 100% vegan grocery store called GreenBay opening on Saturday August 13, 2016.
Yes, this is BIG news.
GreenBay Supermarket is the brainchild of Paula and Anderson, two people committed to bringing fabulous plant-based food to the masses at reasonable prices.
Paula and Anderson are keen to make their store a haven for people looking for plant-based shopping and believe me when I say this corner store on North End Road (yes, just a few doors along from 222 Veggie Vegan) is absolutely rammed solid with everything you would need, want and expect to find in a supermarket.
You need to get along this weekend for their grand opening at 228 North End Road (just a 7 minute walk from West Kensington Underground on the District Line) and help these compassionate business people celebrate the opening of this wonderful retail outlet.
As a special thank you to anyone who comes along on grand opening day, GreenBay has teamed up with Follow Your Heart for some very special offers.
VeganEgg will be available as a buy one get one free offer while the Vegan Gourmet cheese shreds will be for sale at 30% off. Stock up!
GreenBay really has everything you would expect to find in a non-vegan grocery store.
Chocolate, plant milks, cheeses, bread, fresh fruit, vegetables, ice cream, personal care products, toilet roll, dishwashing liquid, laundry detergent, soup, flour, baking ingredients, beer, wine, vodka, pet food….. I could go on and on and on.
Follow GreenBay Supermarket on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Visit the shop for its grand opening this weekend.
Now look at some cheeky photos I snapped inside.
Please note: not featured is the fresh fruit, vegetables and bread because it is getting delivered fresh for Saturday morning!
Also, this just in: Watch the live broadcast I did from inside the shop tonight. It is excellent!
What do you do for vegan groceries when you live in Kent, England?
However you answered that question in your head, you can now add Wheat’s The Problem to your list of solutions.
This grocery store is tucked away on an industrial estate in Sittingbourne, Kent and looks to be a vegan grocery oasis.
While not everything in the store is plant-based a huge chunk of what’s on offer is, with the shelves lined with Fry’s Family Foods, Follow Your Heart, Tofurky, Plamil and many, many more vegan brands. I would be here all day if I started listing them and you all know how lazy I am.
As you can tell from the store name, Wheat’s The Problem is also a specialty shopping destination for consumers looking for wheat free groceries with many items being suitable for coeliacs.
Get along to Wheat’s The Problem for vegan groceries and support independent business.

Have you ever seen anything like it?
Last week I went on another ridiculous shopping expedition to the Vegan Ville grocery store here in Mexico City and I came out one very happy FGV indeed.
Scroll down to see the huge bounty in photo form.
Josh got back home from a week long trip to the USA, so of course I was expecting some vegan treats.
He didn’t let me down.
Even with his meagre carry on baggage allowance, he managed to squeeze in the following goodies for me.
Wanna see the glorious vegan groceries I bought yesterday?
Scroll down below for the killer line up of goods I snagged from Vegan Ville, the fabulous vegan grocery store in Mexico City.
Even for someone as obsessed with food as I am, these groceries pushed me into the realm of super happy.
