I’m currently at home, staying with my Pa in a little village called Dyrham, of which the main attraction is the National Trust owned property and deer park. WOOHOO! It is lovely, if dull. Anyway, my Pa works in Bristol, which is a vibrant, thriving town, home to The Factory, the beautiful harbourside, and...

Sevilla is beautiful, really beautiful. It’s full of gorgeous buildings, pretty parks, street fountains and, also, home to more vegan tapas than one can usually reasonably expect! At Calle Trajano 51, is the Cerveceria El Realito which boasts MORE options than patatas bravas & ensalada verde! A whole…two. Although, also, in Andalucia, you can...

Last weekend, my Dad and stepmum took me for dinner at Demuths, a ‘positively vegetarian’ restaurant in Bath. Apparently, it’s been there for twenty-five years, but we’ve walked down that street many times and never noticed it!

Since there’s nothing outwardly declaring it to be a café...

I found out about this at almost the last minute on The PPK and booked a coach the very next day after checking out the programme and pictures on the website. £14 seemed pretty reasonable to be able to be stood in a room filled with that many vegan cakes, brownies, biscuits…plus, like, stuff!...

The inSpiral Lounge in Camden is, officially, one of my favourite places to eat. Whenever I find myself in North London, by chance or design, I make a point of heading over to the Lock and grabbing a buffet box – which usually results in trying to cut broccoli with the side of a...

In the East End of London, round the corner from Liverpool Street and across the road from the Sunday Up-Market stands the Rootmaster , a bright red, double-decker, stationary London bus. Bustaurant, in fact. The lower deck is entirely given over to what must surely be the smallest working kitchen not on a yacht...
