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...

Organising a wedding reception which is fully vegan
A friend of mine was arranging his wedding reception. We were chatting about various things to do with the organisation of it on WhatsApp, when the topic of food arose.
He wanted the food to be completely vegan but some people whom he was close to, weren't sold on the idea. They were aware of the importance placed on food and they didn't want the event to remembered for the food being pants!
The people he needed to convince hadn't been to a vegan wedding before and weren't sure whether all the courses could be vegan and delicious, and they didn't want this wedding to be a trial for it!

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!

Mixed emotions about booking a ticket to attend VegfestUK 2014
I hadn't been to Vegfest event before and I wasn't too sure what to expect.
You see, a few months ago, I attended the Vdelicious exhibition.
I was there for two reasons. One reason was to, try out and buy, some new products, and the other, was to support the Good Health Box team.
As I walked around as a customer, I was gutted! The stalls were placed on different coloured strips of carpet to show whether they provided vegetarian, vegan or meat products. Why was this a problem?
