Review: Delhish Vegan Kitchen

I feel sad about posting this review. As it’s only the second vegan restaurant to open in Oxford, I was really excited to visit Delhish Vegan Kitchen and to give my support to a new independent vegan business. Unfortunately, based on our experience when we visited for Valentine’s Day, I don’t feel able to recommend it.

Vegan review: V Stack pop-up restaurant

The pop-up saw the launch of V Stack’s brand new burger, the Jammer Stack, which I was told took them endless tweaks and hours and hours of work to get perfect. On tasting it, I hope they feel the time and effort was absolutely worth it, because this burger is insane!

Vegan Eats… Amsterdam

A recent trip to Amsterdam had me overwhelmed with just how many vegan restaurants there are, and how easy it is to find plant-based options at other places too! I spent three excellent days of eating (consuming some culture along the way) with my friend Becky, and here are some of the highlights.

Top Oxford restaurants for a vegan Valentine’s Day

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, whether you typically ‘celebrate’ it or not, it’s a great excuse to go out and enjoy some tasty vegan food. Explore our round-up of great vegan food in Oxford, whether you’re looking to go all out, or for something a bit more low-key.

Review: Oxfam Superstore

We arrived around 1pm, by which time the vegan apricot filled croissants had long since sold out (good excuse to go again soon). It’s a small cafe, but the chilled cabinet had a good selection of vegan sandwiches available, and there was hot food on offer too.

Review: Skogen Kitchen

Tucked away down King Edward Street is this cute Scandinavian Café, Skogen Kitchen, and they are nailing the hygge vibes. Having spied that they sell vegan cinnamon buns to order on their website, I was sure they would be a vegan-friendly spot to meet a friend for a light lunch and long catch-up.

Review: Costa Coffee

January, or Veganuary as it’s exclusively known as now among the vegan community, has been a great month for new product and menu launches in the last couple of years, with 2020 seemingly bringing the most exciting announcements yet. I took a trip to Costa Coffee to try out their brand new options.

Vegan Eats’ Veganuary: Favourite vegan recipe books

As it’s Veganuary, I wanted to share some of my vegan tips beyond going out to eat at restaurants. January can be a tough month after the expense of Christmas, and indulging less in meals out can be one of the easy ways to save the pennies. Here are my top vegan cookbooks that I come back to time and time again for inspiration – quick mid-week meals, showstoppers, snacks and beyond.

Review: Tortilla

Right in the middle of Cornmarket and embedded in the Clarendon Centre, Tortilla offers fast-food style Mexican food ‘mixed with some Californian inspiration’.

Review: Brasserie Blanc

If the previous three years of team Christmas lunches had taught me anything, it was not to get my hopes up.

Review: The Coconut Tree

Followers of my Instagram will know that I’m a big fan of The Coconut Tree, on St Clement’s Street. In fact, whenever new followers send me a message asking for recommendations of where to eat, I will always tell them that the Sri Lankan bar/restaurant is my number one place to get good vegan food in Oxford.

Review: Mowgli

The atmosphere in the evening is lovely, sitting on little wooden swing seats surrounded by fairy lights. The food, while great quality, is very reasonably priced, and they’ve put customer experience at front of mind with the allergen menu provided on a clipboard with the menu as standard.
