Valentines Break in Brighton

We love Brighton and have visited a few times now. We decided to spend a couple of days here for a Valentines break.

We decided to stay at Hostelpoint which is about a minute from the coach station. its a nice hostel beds are comfy and its warm and dry. The view from our dorm was amazing with beautiful sea views.


After arriving in Brighton we decided to go for some food and headed for The Hope and Ruin which houses the vegan caterers Beelzebab. We opted for Seitan Meat and Chips with Chilli sauce. OMG it tasted amazing and i would defo recommend trying this meal out for yourselves.
The Hope and Ruin was a unique pub with lots of unusual items around the place, like a piano coming down their stairs.







Valentines morning we woke up and the sun was shining. we opened our cards and presents at the hostel. Its such a lovely feeling giving and  receiving gifts from the person you plan on spending the rest of you life with.
We then took a short walk to an arcade to play on some of the 2p machines, we managed to win a couple of nice prizes.





For Lunch we decided to head for VBites, we had a light snack of  Tarragon, mushrooms with hummus and spinach on toast. it was yummy. then we had a special valentines cupcake and rhubarb and custard tea. we also spotted some pink waffers so decided as it was valentines day we would treat ourselves to a couple.










We then went for a long walk along the beach and ended up in Shoreham, we had walked miles and not even realized.



After our long walk we decided to head back to Beelzebab for some food. We opted for Hotdog and Chilli and chips with melted cheese. nomnomnom.






On our last day we decided to take a walk along the pier as it was such a lovely day. There are plenty of rides along the pier of which there is something for everyone.














For lunch we headed back to VBites and opted for a Fishy Finger sandwich and some cheesy chips, it was really yummy and the closes thing I've found to a fish finger in ages.





After our lunch we took a short walk and stumbled across Larder, an old cafe which became Vegan for Veganuary, and have decided to stay vegan for now as it was so popular. We opted for a hot drink to show our support to this new vegan cafe.



Just across the way from Larder there is a Vegetarian Shoes shop, they have a wide variety of shoes, unfortunately i was so engrossed in looking at the shoes that i forgot to take any pics. I would highly recommend taking a look around this shop, i for one will be returning when i need some new shoes and have some spare cash.

A short walk along the road we came across Infinity Foods which sell many vegan foods. we managed to find some Eat Real Quinoa & Kale Puffs which we have not been able to try until now. So we brought a couple of packs for our journey home.

Our Valentines visit to Brighton was filled with alot of walking and alot of food but it was an amazing time away spent with my amazing Fiance.

Thank you for reading 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 café, 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...
