Vegan Food | London 🌱

London’s first ever vegan BBQ smokehouse! 🥩 Here’s episode 2 of my London vegan guide: the best place for meat lovers 🍖 {press meal} This is @lds.kitchen’s second site, based within @saintmondaybrewery in London Fields. The menu is completely vegan and is all about hand-made, wood-smoked BBQ deliciousness 🍗 You can tuck into: 🥩 Brisket & 2 sides 💰 £17 🍖 Ribs & 2 sides 💰 £16 🌱 Smoked tofu & 2 sides 💰 £15 🧀 Mini smoked mac & cheese 💰 £5.50 🫘 BBQ beer beans 💰 £4 🌱 Creamy dill slaw 💰 £4 🌽 Smoked corn on the cob 💰 £4.50 🥔 Potato salad 💰 £4 🍑 Brown butter peach cobbler 💰 £6.50 💭 I can’t lie, I wasn’t expecting to love this as much as I did - this is so clever. The flavour the smoker gives the “meat” is so nice. I’m not saying that the die hard meat eaters will be convinced but I personally really enjoyed it and can’t wait to visit again. I already knew I loved the sides as I tried them at their other site but the rest was brand new to me. As meat replacements, I think these are so clever. The ribs were my absolute favourite. I used to be a big ribs lover back in the day so this just filled me with pure joy. Lianna is a wizard and she’s made me want to smoke absolutely everything from now on 😂 🍽Name: @lds.kitchen at @saintmondaybrewery 📍Location: London Fields 🌾Gluten Free Options?

This is vegan bone marrow 😱 Sri Lankan chain @hopperslondon has created a plant-based twist on their famous bone marrow dish using the marrow vegetable. I really like this creativity from Hoppers - it was nice to feel like I wasn’t missing out. Watch the video to see what I thought of the dish 👀 Sadly it’s only available for January but maybe they’ll consider keeping it on… *hint hint*

This is London’s vegan Indian-inspired afternoon tea 🫖 Cucumber sandwiches, step aside - @omnom x @namastevillage are bringing us an afternoon tea with flavour and creativity! {press meal} Here’s what you get: 🫖 Your choice of tea  🥪 Tea sandwiches - bombay grilled sandwich, veg slaw sandwich, Gujurati dabeli indian tea roll & “chicken” masala wrap  🍤 Savoury -veggie samosas, aloo bonda, crispy “prawns” and pani puri 🍰 Sweet - vermicelli pudding (twist on Sevai Kheer), sweet beetroot halwa, naah khatai - a traditional Indian shortbread cookie and of course, scones with cream and jam. 💰 £29.95 per person (the tea in the video is for two people) 🥂 You can also choose to pay extra for additional drinks such as prosecco, mocktails or wine 📅 Available Tuesday-Sunday 12-4 and you must book ahead 💭 This is good value for money. Normally afternoon teas don’t really appeal to me that much, especially as a vegan because they can often feel bland and boring but it was nice to try something a little different. My feedback was that some of the alcoholic drinks were a little sweet for me and I also suggested adding some kind of vegan cake to the sweet section. 🍽Name: @omnom x @namastevillage 📍Location: Angel, Islington 🌾Gluten Free Options?

Introducing the newest branch of Tofu Vegan in West London 🥳🍜 One of London’s best and most popular vegan restaurants, @tofuveganlondon, has opened a new branch in Gloucester Road 🙌🏼 they’re soft launching right now and will open officially on Monday 3rd Feb. Also, next door, their sister restaurant Biang Biang will be opening too ♥️ There aren’t a tonne of vegan restaurants in West London so it’s also just great to see more options in this part of the city. I’m SO proud of the Tofu Vegan team. I’ve been their number one fan since the day they first opened. They’re lovely people and their main focus with new branches is keeping the quality high (which they’ve nailed again).
