Vegan pub in Australia impresses

by

I grew up in Australia and I do miss some of my family members and friends, however I think I feel the distance mostly because I can’t eat at The Green Lion vegan pub bistro.

We all have those places that we admire from a distance, hoping and scheming to one day eat with them.

The Green Lion in Sydney is my ‘bucket list’ place.

I’ve just about stopped looking at their food photos because I can’t cope knowing that I’m missing out on all this great eating at this vegan pub eatery.

The Green Lion says this about themselves on their website:

The Green Lion is Australia’s only 100% plant- based pub bistro and was established in 2016 by co-founders Sacha Joannou and Bhavani Baumann. The concept is traditional Aussie Pub food done vegan. From Burgers and Chicken Schnitty’s to a seafood basket and lasagne, The Green Lion is excited to be able to offer your favourite foods veganised. Desserts are not forgotten including our vegan Pavlova and many different cheesecakes.
‍
Located on the first floor of an Old Australian Pub in Rozelle, The Green Lion is designed to feel like a lounge room where all are welcome. The wrap around balcony is very popular boasting a beautiful sunset.
‍
The Green Lion has spaces for all events from big parties to intimate dinners and prides itself on our in-house events such as all you can eat pizza pasta nights and 10 course tastings.

Gorgeous vegan food in Glasgow

by

One of my favourite places to eat (and drink) in Glasgow is The 78.

This restaurant/pub in Finnieston has long been a hot spot for satisfying vegan comfort food and is also well known for its music events.

The menu has always been good but the return of superstar chef VSO (following a stint setting up Harmonium in Edinburgh) means that the food is being elevated a few levels higher.

A new, full menu is being readied for public release very soon but in the meantime, drool over some of these food photos of all the testing and culinary exploration going on in the kitchen.

Glasgow, do you know how good you have got it?!

Follow The 78 on Instagram and stay tuned for more gorgeous food updates.

Vegan pub in Liverpool

by

I’m not sure I know a more magical combination of two words than ‘vegan pub’.

A few readers have been getting in touch lately to let me know about a vegan pub in Liverpool, so I reached out to the owner of The Caledonia to get a bit of background information to share with you.

Here is what pub owner Laura King had to say:

I’m the licensee/owner of the pub and kitchen manager. I’m also on team vegan! I’ve had the pub seven and a half years and last summer I decided to close the kitchen for a year off. I decided that when we relaunched the menu would be vegan comfort/junk foods and that is how CVK was born.
I decided to make the whole pub vegan too, because, why not?! It seemed silly not to. Over this last summer our team has been busy working through everything we sell to ensure that our entire offer was vegan. We use a lot of local businesses, particularly for real ale and craft beers so we contacted all of them to see if they could accommodate us and most could! The response has been amazing and support from the community (vegan peeps & the pub’s regulars) has been overwhelming. I’m so pleased to be able to do something like this in Liverpool. We’re also incredibly dog friendly and currently we’re in the running for Dog Buddy’s “Dog Friendly Pub Awards”. We also have GF & Kids menus.

I adore this pub already and can’t wait to visit in the future.

You can see the full vegan food menu for The Caledonia on their website. See the exact location of the pub online thanks to Google Maps.

Now, let’s look at some food.

100% vegan pub food menu

by

If you enjoy the idea of a 100% vegan pub food menu, then you really need to get to The Peacock in Nottingham.

This local pub situated about 200km north of London (for those unfamiliar with UK geography) is all about serving up mouthwatering vegan pub food 7 days a week.

Check out the stunning menu just released last week.

I don’t even know what to start singing the praises of first.

Pakoras. Seitan wings. Fish and chips. All day breakfast. Sunday roast. Ribwich. My head is spinning from this menu… and it’s all vegan!

Food is served at The Peacock between midday and 3pm and then 5pm until 8pm every day, except Sunday. Sunday hours are midday until 4pm. Click here to see where the pub is located thanks to Google Maps.

Follow The Peacock on Facebook and Twitter.

Yay for vegan pub food!

UK pub chain has a vegan menu

by

If you live in the UK or have ever visited, you will surely know about the J.D. Wetherspoon pub chain with locations everywhere.

These pubs are known for being cheap and sometimes cheerful places to meet friends, down a few drinks and not be too far from home at the end of the night.

And now the chain pub is making a different kind of name for itself by offering a vegan menu!

It isn’t going to set the world alight with excitement, but the menu is going to be a welcome change for thousands of vegans who find themselves in a Wetherspoon pub on any given day.

New vegan food in Hackney

by

I know what you are going to say.

East London doesn’t need more vegan food and people should spread the plant-based love to other parts of the city and the UK.

Well, you might be retracting your complaint when you read about how awesome the brand new Café SoVegan is and you’ll probably be thankful it exists, even if it is in Hackney.

On hearing about the impending launch of the cafe, I reached out to co-owner Davina Pascal-O’Mahoney to get the lowdown on this new food business and this is what she shared with me:
