vegan London

Hackney vegan

by

London, don’t go getting getting delusions of grandeur and start thinking you are some sort of vegan capital now.

Latest plant-based news to reach my fat ears involves a pop up catering company switching from selling fish and dairy to trading in vegan food only. How fab!

Pesky’s are currently serving up delicious vegan diner-style comfort food at super trendy The Yard theatre in Hackney Wick. Get along until December 10, 2016 to taste their newly vegan menu.

Pesky’s themselves told me their favourite dish is the ‘buffalo cauliflower tacos’. They also do the buffalo cauliflower ‘flyers’ as a side, which are a vegan equivalent to buffalo chicken wings. Other sides include vegan mac ’n’ cheeze bites with sriracha, as well as triple cooked chips with a special salt blend.

What?! Triple cooked chips with a special salt blend? HOLY SHIT I NEED THAT IN MY LIFE.

Their signature dish is the original ‘Argy Bhaji Burger’ which is a large spiced bhaji burger with mango and chilli salsa.


If you can’t get along before Pesky’s shut up shop on December 10, don’t fret.

The now-forever-vegan food business has been invited back to The Yard to set up PERMANENTLY from February 2017.

Yep, London you are set to have another full time vegan food trader. Click here to see where The Yard is located.

Celebrate this news by buying food from Pesky’s and following them on Instagram.

New vegan burger bar in London

by

If you are familiar with the vegan food scene in London, you will have already heard of Mooshies.

Mooshies has been serving up a selection of vegan burgers for a while, mostly popping up for temporary events and at shows such as the Viva! Roadhsow in Brighton.

Well, hold onto your felt fedoras because Mooshies now have a permanent burger bar location on Brick Lane!

How great is this news?!

The hours for Mooshies are:

  • Mondays – Closed with rotating ticketed events and film screenings
  • Tuesdays – 12pm – 10pm
  • Wednesday 12pm – 10pm
  • Thursday 12pm – 11pm
  • Friday 12pm – 12am
  • Saturdays 12pm – 12am
  • Sunday 11am – 10pm

You need to remember that the kitchen closes 30 minutes before the advertised closing time.

The café also sells vegan beer from the Moncada Brewery Notting Hill range and Dalston’s hand mashed soft drinks. I’m not sure why, but there is also a fully stocked bar on premises that is not fully vegan. Mooshies owners tell me they are working on this.

Click here to see where the new Mooshies burger café is located and be sure to follow them on Instagram.

Café in London turns vegan

by

I don’t know a lot about Love and Scandal in Waterloo, but I do know the central London café is turning into a 100% vegan establishment.

Big news, right?!

Check out the post below that recently appeared on their Instagram account.


It looks as though you can drop in from Monday September 12, 2016 and everything will be plant based.

This is top news for lots of reasons. Obviously the most important yay! is for compassion and animals, but also yay! for something vegan near Waterloo station.

Follow Love and Scandal on Instagram and Twitter.

Rawligion in central London

by

If you are like me and haven’t found/made time to try Rawligion in central London, this post will give you a small visual insight into what the café serves.

It looks good!

The restaurant sent me photos of (from top) raw chocolate Rochers, Thai slaw, raw dehydrated falafels, lemon tahini dip & hemp tabbouleh and finally the raw pancakes.

Rawligion is only a 40-second walk from Goodge Street Underground station or a 6-minute walk from Tottenham Court Road.

Temple of Seitan

by

There is a new vegan food business in London that has me more than simply excited. I’m absolutely flipping my wig over this stuff!

Can you see that deep-fried, crunchy glory? Look at it!

Temple of Seitan is a street food endeavour that will turn even the most determined frown upside down.

There isn’t much more to say other than they make fried seitan. In fact, they make the best fried seitan I think I have ever encountered on the planet. I had a basket of the good stuff on Friday at the Just V Show and was so thoroughly blown away that I went back for another on Saturday.

You need to follow Temple of Seitan on Instagram to keep track of all the rad events they will be at in coming months.

I love Temple of Seitan and if you want to be happy, you will make them a part of your life. If you have no interest in being happy, forget I said anything and go back to looking at the slate-grey Victorian sky outside your double glazed window.

Nanabar

by

This is a super interesting idea for raising the profile of a new vegan food business.

Thunderclap.

nanabar

A person named Justin is currently drumming up interest in a new vegan project set to open in London. Justin is planning to launch a frozen banana dessert bar called Nanabar and wants to use social media to get word out about it.

The campaign involves asking people to register a social media account and on July 4, 2016 a message announcing the project will be sent simultaneously from all participating Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr accounts.

It’s a smart way of spreading the news of a new vegan business to hundreds of thousands of people all at once.

Click here to hear from Justin, sign up to help spread the word and be part of a unique promotional event for a new vegan venture.

London vegetarian burger stand turning vegan!

by

This is fantastic news.

You might very well have heard of a meat free burger business called The Veggie Table. This well-known fast cuisine trader has been selling its food at Borough Market for 10 years.

But there are some big changes on the horizon.

The Veggie Table is changing its name to Big V. Why the change? Big V is going to be a 100% vegan food stand.

Everyone at The Veggie Table is vegan. All the cooks, all the servers and even their promotional people are plant-based so they felt it was time to start trading by their principles. The final non-vegan holdout is a Halloumi burger which is set to be phased out as the vegan makeover takes hold.

Make sure you get down to The Veggie Table/Big V to congratulate them on deciding to make the switch to 100% cruelty-free.

If you make your visit coincide with St. George’s Day on April 24, 2016, you will witness the food stand serving their regular ‘V dog sausage’ as a ‘Sausage Sarnie’ and ‘Facon Butties’. That sounds like food heaven to my ears.

Follow Big V on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram before you check out these photos of their tasty burgers below.
