Get together
I’ve just had some interesting news come through about a new regular vegan dining and socialising event in London.
I absolutely adore when people create new spaces for building social capital and find new ways for compassionate humans to connect and support each other.
That is exactly what this concept promises. Check out the press release for BEspoken Dinners below:
Vegan venture
There are some fabulously exciting things happening for vegans in London and most of them are pop up ventures. What’s behind this drive to sell food in temporary locations?
London is surely one of the most expensive cities in the world for real estate. It was announced this week that the average house price in London is £514 000 while the average house price in central London is £1.6 million. The increase in property prices in London over the past year has been at a rate of 19%. This is staggering.
The cost of renting commercial space in Camden Stables Market is upwards of £1000 a week. You can see why vegan start ups can only afford to run temporary events and pop ups are the new trend of getting food to the masses. Vegan businesses cannot get permanent premises unless they have a hell of a lot of money behind them.
Get up and get out of the house this weekend and support a vegan pop up venture. Show the people making cruelty free food for the masses that you care.
You might very well start with the brand new Club Mexicana pop up in east London. The taco masters have set up temporary shop in The Convenience, an inventive and quirky cafe near Chatsworth Road with a roof terrace for dining.
The Club Mexicana pop up runs from 6pm Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and from 4pm on Sundays. See the current menu below but be warned it will be rotating so not everything will be available every night. Rumour has it they are working on a Mexican seitan burger and that chocodilla on the menu sounds fabulous.
The pop up will run until October 12. Follow Club Mexicana on Twitter.
Almost forgot
Preparations for London Vegan Beer Fest have kept me so frantic, I almost forgot to tell you about this incredible vegan dining experience taking place in Brixton this week.
You all know about Asparagasm, right?
Tonight is alright
It’s Tuesday. Don’t pretend you have anything interesting on. Luckily for you and your early week malady, I have news that will inspire you to leave behind EastEnders as you scuttle into the London night.
There is an incredibly inexpensive vegan supper club taking place in Dalston.
Here is the lowdown.
Vortex Downstairs Café is hosting a pop-up vegan night with guest chef Kate Abildgaard. Kate usually works at the Wild Food Café in Covent Garden but has decided to showcase her food preparation skills slightly further afield for one night only.
Wanna know what is on the vegan menu for tonight?
- Courgette Cannelloni with tomato jam, amaranth and fresh pesto
- Butternut squash and beetroot melanzane with spring greens and salsa schiaparelli
- Sweet avocado mousse on crunchy coconut and cashews with raspberry coulis and delicate caramel.
The pop up dining event runs from 7pm and you will need to phone 020 7923 9532 to make a booking. Oh, I almost forgot about price.
The three course vegan meal will set you back only £12. Yes. You are reading correctly.
Support vegan events. Eat cheaply. Get out of the house!
