New Vegan Venues That Can’t Be Beet
We now know that being a vegan doesn’t mean that you have to resign yourself to a life of kale and lettuce. Vegan street food, fast food and bakeries are now even more popular than before. I couldn’t even tell the vegan corndog I had the other day was plant based (although I don’t know if that is just because corndogs don’t tend to taste like meat anyway…) but either way it was good, it satisfied my carnivorous side and I didn’t break my Meat Free Monday. Whether you’re like myself and you dabble or you’re fully fledged here are five new vegan offerings you need to be checking out.
Fat Gay Vegan
Fat Gay Vegan Takeover
Sean O’Callaghan aka the Fat Gay Vegan is now part of the Clapham Common’s Venn Street Market as he takes over a section to bring the finest vegan street food to SW4, each Saturday there’ll be ten stalls serving up the best a vegan can get. Traders joining him will be Big V, Jake’s Vegan Steaks, Let’s Do Temaki and Temple of Seitan, cookies and cupcakes from Ms Cupcake, homemade vegan cheeses from Kinda Co and vegan beer from Mondo brewing.

Saint
Vegan Pizzas, Games and Shots
Sinner is putting the fun back into going out according to founder, Seb Lyall. It’s a shot bar with a twist, you don’t just go and order around of tequila, you get given a token for the arcade machines. You need to earn it. Play the games and the better the scores, the better the shot, because of course points means prizes. The yin to their yang is Saint, the vegan pizzeria downstairs. On the menu you’ll find the likes of Allo Palak, with cheese, roast potatoes, spinach and cumin; Carne with tomato, cheese, vegan sausage and salami and Mr White with cheese, pesto and courgette. They say that the cheese is so good that you wouldn’t even know it’s vegan. Better give it a go then.
