I would like you to meet Mihir. He worked in the restaurant business for over a decade, and being the food connoisseur that he is, he wanted to continue working with food, whilst making a sideways step outside of restaurants. He started in his kitchen, met with focus groups, created a business plan, sourced suppliers and a co-packer, and 8 months later, Spice and Infused was born!
Mihir's business creates popcorn with a difference! Scroll down and find out more.

A vegetarian pub in London?
I found out about the Coach and Horses being 100% vegetarian and couldn't wait to check it out! I later found out that they have vegan options, which made me even more excited!
I was a bit dubious about what the food would be like. Would it only include burgers? Would there be dessert? Would there be lots of vegans options?
Keep reading to find out what I thought about my vegan lunch there.

That changed in 2015! She holidayed in the West coast of America, and realised, that what she had heard about vegan options was no exaggeration! They were great! She was thoroughly impressed!

I met Chantal and David a year or so ago at VegFest. We had been talking prior to that, but seeing them in action was amazing!
They had shopping baskets all around their stall, which were full of vegan products. So, without using any words, visitors could see how easy it was to shop for vegan products. The majority of the items on display are available in mainstream supermarkets, which showed that vegan food isn't hard to find and going to a specialist shop is no longer required!

Hotels that cater for vegans
More often than not, I've stayed in a hotel whilst I'm on holiday. I like exploring and walking when I'm away, so when booking a hotel, I would think more about location and comfort, than food. This is because I would be hoping to eat while I'm out and about.
Within England, I've recently used hotels as a way of avoiding driving a long distance and then drive back again within a few hours. In these cases, I've usually booked hotels where breakfast is an extra option, and then had brunch before leaving to return home.
Find out how I felt about staying at the West Park Hotel for 5 days.
