London vegan news, reviews & events
We’ve suffered through the wilderness for months in London and the dark days of LD’s Kitchen being on hiatus had us feeling lost and adrift.
But our bravery and perseverance have paid off because LD and her culinary creations are back in a big way in their new residency kitchen on Chalk Farm Road.
And that includes the completely over the top vegan Sunday roasts!

If you have been vegan for any length of time, you will probably understand the sadness of missing out on Yorkshire puddings. You can find yourself surrounded by roast potatoes, mountains of vegetables, gravy and all sorts of exciting plant-based centrepieces, yet there is one familiar feature missing from the plate.
For years, finding a genuinely good vegan Yorkshire pudding has been one of those frustrations that comes with being vegan. It seems almost absurd when you stop to think about it because Yorkshire puddings are not some mysterious food requiring a secret ingredient that can only be sourced from Emmerdale farm.
A traditional Yorkshire pudding is essentially a simple batter made from flour, eggs and milk, cooked in hot fat until it puffs up into a combination of crispy edges and soft, fluffy middle. Obviously, eggs and dairy are not vegan, but the basic idea can be recreated with plant-based ingredients.
And somehow us vegans have been taking our sweet time when it comes to making Yorkies a staple of our plant-based Sunday dinners.
But things have changed in London.

I’m not a football fan.
It’s not that I’m against the sport, but I am just not interested. I’m more of a tennis person. I could sit for hours as people hit balls to and fro on my screen, but a team of humans kicking a little round ball does nothing for me.
With that said, I do understand how seriously the UK takes the sport of football so I wanted to share some exciting news with you about the upcoming England game this weekend.
I’m always posting about Dauns, the vegan Scandi-inspired eatery and bar in London, so you don’t really need a recap. Right?
But what I do need to share with you is news of upcoming events inside the legendary food spot.

Something special is located in East London and if you have not experienced it yet, you need to change that immediately. It involves delicious food, a proper pub atmosphere, and the kind of place vegans dream about.

As a long time vegan, I can recall the wilderness years when there wasn’t a decent Sunday dinner option in all of London. These were dark times of hearing other people rave about Yorkshire puddings drenched in gravy while us plant-munchers were left attempting to create our own versions at home.
I grew up in Australia which meant not being familiar with the concept of a roast dinner served in the middle of the day, so when I first moved to London in 1998 I was instantly intrigued by this concept.
And Sunday roasts are a tough thing to avoid in London. Pubs, carveries, and restaurants all shout about this very British meal which left me feeling a tiny bit isolated as a vegan.
Fast forward to 2025 and there is some stellar news for people interested in Sunday roast culture but who don’t want to hurt any animals in order to participate.
Say hello to this gorgeous plate of food being served weekly in east London.
