Evening in London

As London is only a short train journey away me and my fiance have many days in London, trying to track down all the weird and wonderful.

In this blog im writing about the most recent visit brought around by my wonderful Brother who got me and my fiance tickets to see a show in London, Showstopper at the Lyric.

We got the train to Charing Cross and decided to take a 15 minute walk along to Rupert Street where the amazing Vegan Hippo is located.



The Vegan Hippo is easy to spot with its bright orange shop front and sign board with a Hippo on. The staff are really friendly and service is quick. What made us really happy is that they have a sign up saying that they don't except the new £5 notes, and this is because they contain tallow derived from animal fat.

We decided to try out their vegan hot dog with tomato ketchup and mustard, with vegan cheese added for an extra 50p. They tasted amazing, which is strange for me as i never liked hot dogs before i went vegan but these really did taste good and we would recommend them to anyone, and at the bargain price of £3.50 not bad for a hot snack.




We also had a Raspberry and Rose yogurt made by Sojade, which was very creamy and full of flavour.




We then ventured around the corner to Wardour Street where Yorica Moments is located. we decided to treat ourselves to an ice cream each a a milkshake to share. The shop was busy which is always nice to see. The staff were friendly and helpful as always



I went for a scoop of Ginger and a scoop of Passion Fruit with some free sprinkles on top. My fiance went for a scoop of Ginger and a scoop of Cookie and cream.
The ice cream was so smooth and full of flavour, it was like we had died and gone to Yorica heaven :)
Glad we don't live around the corner as we would be in here every day.








I would highly recommend visiting Yorica if you are in the area, but make sure you leave some for my next visit :)

These two vegan eateries are very handy for anyone wanting to see a show in London too as they aren't that far away from some of the theatres and also Leicester Square.





Hope you enjoyed the read and that you try and pay both venues a visit when in the area.
Peace and Love VB80

Trip to Cardiff

We decided to take a short trip to Cardiff for a couple of reasons, one to check out what's on offer there for vegans and also to see a concert at St Davids Hall. We arrived to really nice weather, which was nice to see. Locating our hostel was really easy as it was centrally located on the high street in Cardiff City Centre.  Was a lovely hostel and very welcoming and very homely. We decided to take a walk to Anna-Loka which is a 30 minute walk from the city centre. Anna-Loka is 100% vegan cafĂ©, their menu was full of so much yummy choice but we opted for all day breakfast to start with and a side order of chips. This was followed by a apple and beetroot cake and a mango and coconut cake.  My fiance had a black forest hot chocolate too. We left feeling really full. On our second day in Cardiff we decided to get the local bus to Penarth (the local buses do an all day ticket for £3.50 to travel all over the Cardiff area, which is reall...

Purezza Brighton

Firstly i would like to thank Purezza for inviting Myself, VeganBlogger78 and VeganBabeLife   to come along to review their amazing food. The menu looked amazing and it was difficult to decide what to have. I did like the fact that the menu clearly stated which dishes were nut free (which is very helpful having a nut allergy) For starters we chose: VBL. Focaccia strips and cheese Served with a selection of dips including hummus, pesto and caramelised beet/onion. VB78. Cheese bites, Six delightful dough balls, loaded with lashings of melty coconut cheese. Me. Garlic bread with cheese. Classic garlic bread, loaded with garlic puree with rosemary & optional cheese.  Cheesy Garlic bread need i say moor. nomnomnom For our main meal we chose: VBL. Indigo Island:  Roasted purple sweet potato, freshly cut pineapple & pea pancetta. VB78. One Night in Bangkok: White base, with stir fri...

Blackpool over new year

Having only ever passed through Blackpool once im my life we decided to spend our New Year there. We traveled up from London to Blackpool by Coach. We chose National Express for this journey as we knew it was a very long drive and we know that their coaches are very comfortable for long distances. So we caught the 8am coach which got us to Blackpool at 2:30pm. The journey itself was uneventful and there was minimal traffic on the roads so we weren't held up and arrived when stated :) When we arrived the sun was shining but there was a chill breeze, was to be expected as we were at the seaside in December. We decided to hunt down somewhere to get some food and we managed to find a Holland and Barrett, it was well hidden though on a side street. We also located a massive Sainsburys and a Co-Op so we did managed to get some bits and pieces to eat while in Blackpool. Just outside the Co-Op there was an amazing street music and light show going on (they even played my Fia...
