Amazing vegan menu in Glasgow

If you haven’t visited Glasgow lately, you are seriously missing out on a vibrant vegan food scene. If you are a Glaswegian, you don’t need any convincing about how good you’ve got it.

To take an already fabulous situation and make it better, the kitchen of Mono Cafe Bar has created an outstanding outdoor BBQ menu and an indoor bar menu for Glasgow Vegan Beer Fest this Sunday (August 27, 2017).

If you can’t make it along this weekend, marvel at the food line up anyway and find a date in the near future to visit this legendary food, drink and live music venue.

Beer list for Glasgow Vegan Beer Fest

The 2nd annual Glasgow Vegan Beer Fest is fast approaching so it makes sense that I tell you about the massive beer list that has been compiled by Williams Bros for the event.

There are cask beers, keg beers ad one hell of a can/bottle line up. We even have a handful of gluten free beers and ciders. Add to that wine, cocktails, a glorious food line up and all-day karaoke and I think it’s safe to say we are in for a fabulous day.

Tickets to the event are just £4 plus tiny booking fee if you book online in advance or £7 on the door if we have space. Book now.

New vegan bar and kitchen

Excitement!

There is a brand new vegan venue opening TOMORROW (Friday June 23, 2017) in the Scottish capital and it’s called Harmonium Bar and Kitchen. This is so very exciting.

New vegan venue with LOTS of jobs

If you have ever been to Glasgow, you will have eaten with The 78MonoStereoThe Old Hairdresser’s and/or The Flying Duck.

What you might not know is that all these vegan venues are owned by the same organisation, Thoughtful Enterprises.

In the biggest vegan news out of Scotland for ages, Thoughtful Enterprises has announced plans for a brand new vegan café and bar in Edinburgh!

Details are still rolling in, but in the meantime maybe you or some people you know would like to apply for one of the jobs being advertised in the new Edinburgh venue.

Vegan work

Super quick post for people looking for a vegan job.

That is all.

Until next time. xx

Vegan in Aberdeen

Two things I would like you to consider.

  1. £1 or £2 is not a lot of money. You can spare a few quid right this very moment, most likely.
  2. We have the collective power to help bring independent, community-focussed vegan businesses to life if we work together.

OK.

I would like to ask a favour of each and every person who reads this post. Please click here right now to donate whatever you can to the Bonobo Kickstarter campaign. The team behind Bonobo are opening the ONLY vegan cafe in Aberdeen, Scotland. It’s a big deal.

Bonobo has been running as a series of pop up events for one year, but now the founding group has decided to transform their business into a cooperatively owned and operated vegan cafe that will also function as a community hub for gigs, meetings and events.

To help with first month rental, kitchen equipment and other associated costs, Bonobo needs to raise £12,000.

They have already raised just over £3,500.

It is crucial that we put our money where our mouths are and support endeavours like Bonobo. This cafe is allowing six people to be employed in vegan work within their community, on their own terms and with so much scope to benefit local people.

Throw some money in the pot. Can you spare £1. Most people I know can afford £1. If you have more money at your disposal, put £5 or £10 forward to help strengthen opportunities for vegans in Aberdeen.

C’mon. Let’s get them financed and fighting fit. Donate now and spread this link.

Pizza crunch done vegan

I thought I had seen it all when it comes to vegan junk food.

I was wrong.

There is a dish in Glasgow known as pizza crunch. This outrageous food invention involves taking a slice of pizza, covering it in chip shop batter and deep frying it.

Yes, deep fried battered pizza. And of course you can now get a vegan version of this ‘dish’ that I’m told is mostly loved by people who have been drinking for a few hours.

Check out the vegan pizza crunch I got my hands on at Mono in Glasgow yesterday.


What do you think? Please take note of the hand cut chips and pickled onion rounding this out to a complete meal. LOL!

If that is not enough for you, Josh and I sampled a few other delicacies as well including the bánh mì and the to-fish and chips.

Mono have certainly got vegan comfort food down to a fine art.

Bánh mì at @monoglasgow is beautiful. #glasgow #vegan

The to-fish and chips at @monoglasgow seriously on POINT today. 🎯 #vegan

What do you think? Would the pizza crunch make your ‘must try’ list? Do you like the look of the to-fish?

Glasgow impresses again

Honestly, you could eat out every day and night of the week in Glasgow and you wouldn’t run out of vegan options.

I’ve written about The 78 in the past, but check out the latest tasty dishes my group devoured during our recent stop. This fabulous pub/restaurant is definitely something you want to experience.
