Do you go out and ever feel the need to grab a bite to eat?
What do you do when you decide you fancy eating something but you're too far from home to go back, or you haven't finished what you're doing, so you can't go home yet?
Would you make do with a bag of crisps or some other type of snack? Would you ignore your hunger and keep going? Do you keep a snack with you and eat that? Do you get into a bit of a state and need to find somewhere that you can eat something substantial?
Do you end up eating things that won't agree with you, because you're intolerant to them? Might you eat something that goes against your ethics, because you think you won't find anything vegan?

A few moths ago, I met someone who is known as Olive on Twitter. She is assertive, kind, compassionate and honest. She also loves cooking and isn't scared to try out new recipes using uncommon ingredients.
Olive follows a vegan lifestyle and likes to give restaurants and pubs the opportunity to blossom, while they concoct vegan dishes for her and her hubby (Popeye) to enjoy. It is this last point, which made me reach out to her. Olive and Popeye have been eating out in Manchester a fair bit, so I asked her to send me an article to share all the great vegan eats with you.

I have often heard people say that eating vegan must be really restrictive and eating out would be even more horrendous.
For those of you who have been reading my reviews, you'll see that eating out is far from restrictive or difficult. In fact, I'm often surprised with the range of items on the menu that aren't marked vegan but are "vegan by accident." This combined, with the willingness and enthusiasm of the staff to amend dishes and get creative, makes eating out a pleasure! I get even more excited when I go somewhere and the food is extraordinary...

We were in Brighton for the weekend and the lovely hubby, Suraj, did a bit of research on vegan food, which is 'outside the norm.' (We wanted to try something 'different') He came across the Gourmet Girls and we had the opportunity to eat vegan 'Fish n Chips'
one of us had eaten a vegan version of Fish n Chips, so we booked a table and hoped for the best.

What to do when you're out and and about the need to eat arises?
A group of us had met up and gone to La Suite West for afternoon tea. It lasted a while because we used it as an opportunity to eat and drink slowly, whilst having a catch up.
After that, a few of us went for a walk and we realised that if we went home, it would be too late to cook and eat, but it was a little to soon to eat. So we decided to go for a coffee and then find somewhere to eat after that.
Read on to find out if we found anywhere that offered vegan options.

Valentine's Day was different this year
Usually, Suraj and I don't do much for Valentine's Day. We find it quite commercialised and don't like to buy into it. However, this year, Suraj told me to keep the day free because he had some treats planned for us!
One of the treats was dinner at Raw, which is a restaurant in a hotel called La Suite West.

I have ummed and arred about writing this post a fair bit! However, I think it's better that you're aware and empowered, rather than, unaware and disappointed as a result.

Choosing where to eat when meeting up with the family
My hubby and I had planned to meet up with my cousin who doesn't live too far from Holborn. He is a vegetarian so choosing where to eat would be a treat! We'd get to search for veggie restaurants that had vegan options and support a small business at the same time! I love supporting non-chains!
Suraj came across a pop-up called Redemption Bar. It is London’s first alcohol free bar movement, which is designed to allow customers to enjoy themselves without enduring any negative effects of drinking alcohol.

I came across a post on BuzzFeed, which listed 21 unmissable vegan places in London. I had been to some of them but Bonnington Café was one of the ones I'd not eaten at.
My mission was to tick a few boxes in one go. This involved having a lovely meal, going somewhere I hadn't eaten before, time out with a friend and gain something that I can share with you.
I'm happy to say that all of the boxes were ticked!
