Unfortunately, I wasn't overly impressed by these burgers - they were OK but a bit small and we definitely don't have a Sweeney Todd situation! The vegan cheese was really nice, though. The worst bit was the fries - not very nice at all and definitely undercooked. Maybe it's still just teething problems...

I'm guessing they don't make the burger and it's quite possibly oven-cooked, so unless you can't cope with keeping an eye on the clock it's pretty hard to mess up.

Thanks for this, I will be trying these tesco steaks they look great! I haven't tried any of the kebab either. I can see the vegan plates menu are offering kebab also, tempted to give this a go this evening after work. In regards with them not being able to cook the chips properly, I think it could be down to teething problems, however I found the burger delicious and the extra patty makes a difference to the overall value of the burger and I like the fact you can customise the burger. You can tell its not meat but definitely the best we have had. On the website I can see that it looks like the council have given them a spot on north cross road so I doubt its cooked in an oven, but griddle.


I can't wait for them to come to north x road :)

The burgers they do are very good, however how did they manage to get the council to give them a spot on the north cross market, my friend has been trying for years????? Vegan plates seems to have only been around for a couple of months. Does anyone know how the council allocate these spaces?

I LOVE this place!!!


Love the Kebabs (something I missed a LOT) and the "chickn vurger" AMAZING!!


And of course, the churros!! They are tasty...


Have any of you tried the "no bull" burguers from iceland? they are 2 pounds and are pretty awesome, pretty similar to the ones from this take away place, everytime I go up to peckham i make sure i grab a few boxes and keep them in the freezer for those days we fancy dirty food! I think it's a MUST to try!

It is a strange old setup, you never get a no from the council after the hurdle jumping has been completed, just no response at all, even after repeated chasing.the as if by magic, a new vendor appears. yet there are still spaces on non peak times. it is as if the market traders themselves have some decision as to who gets a slot and who will not upset the local businesses.

100% agree tasty! I was a bit sceptical before ordering due to the low quality photographs of the food on the website, I'm guessing they are not a big business (I started with home printed flyers for my business) that can get pro photos done currently, hats off to them though they are a great addition to ED and equally looking forward and welcome the to the n x market and will be ordering next week for the big game.

My partner is vegan, and i do not eat meat or dairy, but occasions fish... but home we eat mainly vegan, like most people we don't mind the odd treat of a not very healthy trashy takeaway .... Usually during a hangover...so this sounds fab so will give it ago.

When we have had the odd bbq tis summer we found these fab burger that are exclusive to Iceland.. called NO BULL BURGERS, not too much crap in them apart from some rapeseed oil, made with herbs, soya protein and beetroot extract and some herbs, no sugar.... they look like they are bleeding when on the grill, not bothered about that myself.... but pleases our meat eating friends when offered as a choice

Hi Flux, I'm pretty sure a vegan diet would be healthier than most of the meat options mass produced to us these days, I'm not a full-time hard vegan but I like to reduce my meat intake to around 3 or 4 times a week for many reasons. I ordered a kebab from vegan plates a couple of weeks ago and although I could tell It wasn't meat, it was very enjoyable and tasty with a kick of spice, I haven't tried the burgers yet but the reviews are looking good. I can also see they will soon be on the North Cross Rd Market if they get enough backers, which I'm looking forward to.

Makes you feel a lot more energetic thats for sure and less groggy in the mornings. I do think eating meat lowers our energy levels, however I do crave a fatty "unhealthy" meal every now and then and the vegan plates does that for me lol. I just seen them on Deliveroo, I would rather book directly to avoid the delivery fees as there website offer a free delivery ;)

Are you suggesting they get their burgers from Iceland?

They are surprisingly similar...in fact I'd say just about indistinguishable (and very nice).

    • You may have seen an article in the paper today about Jewish leaders and notables calling on the UN and world leaders to sanction Israel [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/22/jewish-notables-open-letter-un-sanction-israel], "... Prominent Jewish figures around the world are calling on the United Nations and world leaders to impose sanctions on Israel over what they describe as “unconscionable” actions amounting to genocide in Gaza. Over 450 signatories, including former Israeli officials, Oscar winners, authors and intellectuals have signed an open letter demanding accountability over Israel’s conduct in Gaza, the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. The letter’s release comes as EU leaders meet in Brussels on Thursday amid reports they plan to shelve proposals for sanctions over human rights violations. “We have not forgotten that so many of the laws, charters, and conventions established to safeguard and protect all human life were created in response to the Holocaust,” the signatories write. “Those safeguards have been relentlessly violated by Israel.” ..."   There is also a petition we can sign to support them in their call for justice: Direct link: https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/stand_with_jews_demand_action_loc_cp1/?tUwBCsb&v=502713833&cl=22394973010&_checksum=7dc99acb5dd4fc5a43a24e21772f51005ea239753e9ae3033d9f79ffd6119559 "For the first time since the ceasefire, a powerful coalition of Jewish voices have come together, urging world leaders to keep the pressure up until real accountability and freedom are achieved.Their call can shift the political mood and give leaders courage to act decisively -- Amplify their voices and stand with them: The demands of Global Jewish Voices: To respect and abide by the decisions of the International Court of Justice, noting their application also in the West Bank and East Jerusalem; to apply arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court; and to resist efforts to unduly pressure and influence and prevent the workings of both courts. To refuse any complicity in continued crimes and violations of international law against Palestinians by Israel, including by ending the provision of arms and other relevant goods and services; to use relevant leverage, including targeted sanctions on governmental bodies and individuals responsible for violations of international law, and suspension of relations with commercial entities contributing to these violations. To ensure that humanitarian assistance reaches all Palestinians in Gaza at the scale that is commensurate to their vital need, that the blockade is lifted and materials for reconstruction enter, and that there is a full Israeli military withdrawal. To refute false accusations of antisemitism that abusively deploy our collective history to tarnish those with whom we stand together in the pursuit of peace and justice. If you are of Jewish heritage you can also sign here, and we will add the number of your voices to support the Jewish call for justice. Posted: 22 October 2025"  
    • 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.
