PoppinEvents is hosting an all- you-can-eat vintage vegan tea party on June 25, 2017 near Dalston Junction inLondon.
They will be serving a variety of homemade delicious vegan treats including Strawberry Cheesecake, Ultimate Brownies, Lemon & Raspberry Loaf, and Nutella Fudge just to name a few.
All of this can be washed down with a scrumptious homemade vegan milk bottle milkshake, with other soft drinks available.
Or if you’re feeling bubbly you can pay £10 for unlimited prosecco (vegan friendly of course). If you choose this option you have the chance to visit the prosecco bar if you want to decorate and dress your drink.
An acoustic performer will entertain on the day, singing some of the old classics and new originals.
Over the past few weeks, I have been swamped with messages from people who adore the food of Lazy Boy Kitchen. Everyone wants me to know about this incredible vegan comfort food and I can’t wait to get some in my grubby fat hands.

Always one of the most popular vendors when they trade at my events, Rupert’s Street can’t be ignored due to their gloriously coloured van and tasty, nutritious food offerings.

You can’t write about vegan street food in London without mentioning Temple of Seitan. Even though they now have a permanent shop, they are still ruling every market and event they can make it to.

Always a winner at Hackney Downs Vegan Market, the legendary pie and mash heroes Young Vegans are taking London by storm with food people just can’t get enough of.
Cafe SoVegan can’t get enough praise from some people. After their appearances at Hackney Downs Vegan Market, my inbox is always jam packed with emails wanting to celebrate this gorgeous food business.
I can’t keep up with all of the locations and appearances by Big V London. Their decadent burgers are always a smash hit no matter where they show up and the photos on their account are beyond drool-worthy.
Eat Chay is relatively new to the vegan street food scene but is steadily amassing a huge number of fans. Take one look at their Instagram feed and you will understand why.

The best vegan donuts in London are from Peanut Butter Bakery. This is not open for debate. They have changed the landscape of how we consume dough forever and have upped the game to stratospheric heights. No one can touch them.
What do you think? Are you happy with this list of London’s finest? Who would you add?
Are you sick of hearing news from me? Worn out by my digital voice?
Take a vacation from FGV and get busy following London Afro Vegan. Esme is a powerhouse of quality eating experiences, recipe ideas, reviews and general awesomeness.
If you follow her on Instagram you are getting budget vegan tips, top shelf humour, occasional political commentary and gorgeous food photos.
As you can tell from these posts, Esme has a fabulous sense of humour. She also uses her London Afro Vegan platform to let her followers know about upcoming events around the capital.
If you want vegan London news and cooking videos, you can’t go past London Afro Vegan.
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.
In case you have forgotten, Vx is the super rad vegan grocery shop and boutique in King’s Cross.
Situated just a few minutes on foot from bustling King’s Cross station, Vx has been keeping vegan London stocked up with cheese, meats, shoes, t-shirts, groceries and accessories for years.
It’s been a while since I’ve reported on the happenings over at this old school vegan location so I thought I would drop on over to the Vx Instagram account to grab some cake photos to share with you all.
Check out all the glory they have been serving over the past few days.
Superstar vegan street food purveyors Club Mexicana are on the move and FGV (that’s me) has the scoop.
One of the most popular cuisine traders in London is opening a new vegan food stall at food court Dinerama in Shoreditch on Thursday 25th May, 2017.
This is what Club Mexicana had to say when I asked for more details:
We’ve attached the new menu we’re launching – it’s our most innovative and exciting street food menu YET! We’re of course serving a great range of tacos, including our famous Baja To-fish (voted one of London’s top ten tacos by Time Out), Carne Asada (marinated and grilled seitan that squares up to any meaty version head on!) and our new fancy Jackfruit Tinga with pumpkin seed puree. But that’s not all. Due to its massive popularity at Pamela, we’ll be serving our Chick’n Wings, and on the back of huge demand at the FGV market, we’re putting on our Beer Battered Cheeze Fries too. But even that’s not all! Lunchtimes will see us serving up fat, juicy Jackfruit and Fried Chick’n toasted sandwiches.
Club Mexicana told me the London street food has always been a predominantly meaty scene and previously, if you went to Dinerama as a vegan, you went home hungry. But now they’ll be there from Thursday to Sunday each week from midday until late happily feeding vegans and vegan-curious alike!
Shoreditch already had fabulous vegan options and now that it has Club Mexicana in the Dinerama food court, it’s next level. Click here to see the exact location of Dinerama thanks to Google Maps.
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:
I share this news with a full heart and a smile on my face.
London, you can get your hands on a vegan version of the chicken Twister wrap.
Take a look at this supreme piece of food art.
There is only one place you can get this wrap in London this week and that is the Temple of Seitan stall at Hackney Downs Vegan Market on Saturday May 20, 2017.
The Vegan Twist wrap comes with your choice of chipotle or lemon pepper mayo.
Of course there will be hundreds of people trying to get their hands on one of these savoury delights, so get to the market early. Full vendor line can be seen here and you can RSVP to the Facebook event.
