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.

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).

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.

      Gail's Development of the Brick House - planning permission?

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      I've actually met Luke Johnson and he's actually a very amicable, witty and extremely clever man. He's also created thousands of jobs and generated millions and millions of pounds of tax revenue for the government, offering goods and hospitality that countless millions of people have enjoyed over the decades. I'm not a fan of Gail's but I'm also not a fan of people who knock down good guys that have contributed a huge amount to this country.  Anyway, French Patisseries and southern hemisphere coffee don't belong on Farmer's markets.

      Should facial recognition be mandatory for retail outlets?

      What mandatory action would then be required of them?

      Should facial recognition be mandatory for retail outlets?

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      Probably will be mandatory once Digital ID comes in.    They can then use the cameras on the tills too to bring all sorts of other useful ancillary controls, such as limiting how much alcohol you buy each week, or monitoring and limiting the carbon footprint of the food you buy (some foods now are already showing the CO2 emissions consumed in producing them).

      Should facial recognition be mandatory for retail outlets?

      By vladi · Posted

      At present several large retailers such as Co-op, Tesco, Waitrose, John Lewis, and Next use a cloud-based facial recognition system that gives instant alerts to the entry on the premises of known shoplifters.  Around £19 million incidents of retail theft (some with attacks on staff) occur ever year in the UK amounting in value to £2.6 Billion in value, involving 41,000 known offenders. Shoplifting adds to the retailer's costs and this is passed on eventually to honest shoppers, isn't there a case for F.R. to become mandatory at all retailers?
