Just saw a post on facebook saying a vegan fast food delivery service is opening in east dulwich, which looks pretty good. I will definitely be trying one of their burgers. I find it so hard to find a decent vegan burger from just eat.


https://www.veganplates.co.uk

sounds fab :-) got a bit excited then .....


but its just vegan version of burgers, hot dogs and kbabs - even celebrating the same texture (they've assumed that's a good thing).


Not very inspiring and completely missing an opportunity.

It all looks disgusting. You are right JandB, an opportunity lost. This is vegan food made in their own home kitchen.

M&S, Sainsbury, etc., are way behind this new eating philosophy, Lordship Lane needs a dedicated vegan restaurant

and takeaway.

I know - I'm not going to go through all the obvious things, but removing Junk from their title (i.e. main selling point) would be a good start.


Fast Food, maybe. Junk food - even McDonald's avoid labelling their offerings as junk food - and they are the definition

They haven't put junk in their title at all, it's not mentioned anywhere in their website - that's just something Wayne put in his thread title. They're called Vegan Plates East Dulwich.


Personally as someone who's been a vegan for three decades, I loved meat before giving it up on ethical/environmental grounds and anything that's a good simulacrum of a hot dog or a burger will get me through the door!

Doesn't the Blue Brick Cafe do takeaways? You could maybe suggest it to them if not.

I agree with rendel, although I have been a vegan for only 4 months now due to ethical and health reasons, I have found myself craving a burger from time to time, I miss the taste, however I am more aware of the sentient beings and the treatment of them. I'm going to order from them tonight and will give my verdict.

Please don't suggest it to them! Their food will take even longer to arrive than it already does if their kitchen has to cater for takeaways as well!

I just finished a burger with vegan bacon and cheese and I have say I'm pleasantly surprised, It tasted smokey and the texture was a unique melt in the mouth. Other vegan burgers I've had in the past have disappointed me due to being bland and cardboardy, one of my favourite burgers I discovered was by Linda McCartney but.... I didn't think I would be saying this, this burger from them has out done the Linda ones for me. I wasn't a huge fan of the Mac & cheese as it wasn't to flavoursome. The churros are to die for! So all in all, I am definitely going to be a regular customer and I think its fab!

Thanks, I won't. Have you worried about the amount of processing that goes into providing meat and dairy? The figures are easily accessible online, have a bingo. I'll give you a quick precis if you can't be bothered, per kilo beef takes 1500% more land than soya, 1000% more fossil fuel, 2000% more water and 600% more chemicals (pesticides etc).

Thanks for the review Wayne, I shall definitely be trying it out!

No, I'm not talking about resources. I don't worry too much about my intake of meat and dairy as I'm sure it's way below average for a westerner. And what I do eat is free range or organic. But I do worry about eating highly mucked about with manufactured food that spends much of it's life in a lab such as, I suspect, vegan "bacon" and vegan "cheese".

Haven't been in there for a while, but I'm pretty sure they have at least four vegan options, including yummy hot things!

You could say regular cheese is highly processed and "mucked about with", couldn't you? It's one of the earliest processed foods!

I've made vegan cheese at home and they usually have about 3-4 "natural" ingredients (carrot, potato, nutritional yeast, maybe some oil). hardly lab processed.

Any tips for the best recipes? My old man is a keen (non-vegan) cheese maker (blessed are they etc) and is always complaining that he can't find a good recipe for making stuff for me.

    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks 
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967
