HappyCow.net indicates Greans and Beans isn't opened on the weekend. I'll go there on Friday and the place at Marylebone on Saturday probably. And then I'll be off to Italy for 6 weeks!

Hi, just wondering where i could get Sheese in London? Preferably south or central London.

Thanks.

[harpy]

The only place I recall seeing it recently is in the Whole Foods Market in Kensington High St, but you could always write to the manufacturers and ask about stockists.

[alisont]

Ive seen it at the Wholefoods market too, wonder if the health shop up by Kensington park stocks it as they seem cheaper (forgotton name at mo!)

Bute foods do post scheese out if you cant find it?

[Stu]

I've seen it in Fresh & Wild (the Stoke Newington branch; not sure about the others).

i know that planet organic on torrington place (bloomsbury) has some soy-based 'cheese', but i'm not sure about sheese. was thinking about experiementing with some this week as never have, so i'll have a look and see what brands they have...

Cheers. There's one in Clapham!

[harpy]

I don't recall seeing it in the Clapham one, so it might be an idea to ring them first if you'd need to make a special trip there.

[zorbed]

Hmm. It wouldn't really be a mission. Plus Clapham Common is nice :D

Why does hardly anywhere sell Sheese? (the blue style mainly).

Maybe it would just be easyer to order it offline somewhere?

[harpy]

Goodness Direct sell Sheese but unfortunately I don't see the blue one on there - might just be out of stock or something though I suppose.

I'm not that keen on it myself so had better not comment on why it's hard to find ;) but I hope you find some. They don't seem to have a list of stockists on their web site but they do have a list of wholesalers/distributors, so you could contact the local one and ask about stockists:

A little late, but I've had a breakfast at Eat and Veg and would defo again. Really liked the music too.

[RebeccaDye]

I'm from South London :D
If you can get to Lewisham/Blackheath/Greenwich then there are healthfood shops.
Especially Sheel in Lewisham.
But I guess you could just get it off the internet which would be easier.

[dreamqueen]

Not too late - it's this coming Friday and Saturday that I'll be scrabbling around in London looking for vegan vittles. :D

[bryzee86]

vittles? is this a canadian thing or am I dense?!

[Enchantress]

Well, it's not only a Canadian thing....:o It means food.

[Marrers]

Has anyone been to that cafe yet? Got a name and opening times?

I have to announce that the best cakes in London are to be had at Fresh and Wild on Brewer Street. Delicious Carrot cake and Passion cake. And Chocolate cake to die for. Knocks spots off Beatroot and Ray's Jazz Cafe.

Vita Organic also have a very nice coconut and pomegranate cakey thing.

I'm disappointed that since Vita Organic moved things around quite a few dishes which used to be warm are now served cold. And about how much the prices have gone up.

[BlackCats]

I had the choc and hazelnut cake from Fresh and Wild, twas very nice.

The nicest vegan cake I have had was still the one at the veggie roadshow this year though, coffee and walnut yum!!:)

I have to try more London places soon.

the prices have gone up in VitaOrganic?! :eek: i couldn't afford to eat there at the old prices!

[dreamqueen]

Mmmm, food. Vittles is a variation on victuals; otherwise, I'm not sure as it's not even listed in the Oxford English Dictionary.

It's pouring rain and freezing here in Toronto - I hope it'll be more pleasant in London when I arrive!

[Gorilla]

it's freezing here too, although it's been mostly dry. hope you have a good time.

[alisont]

Im hopefully in London this Fri and Sat - no idea where we will end up for breakfast yet if anywhere?

Heading for 222s buffet lunch Fri if we get there in time, poss Mildreds Fri eve

Thats if i get to London:confused: not sure yet.....

Eat and 2 veges breccy sounds good:)

[bryzee86]

hello london folk. any of you know where I can get vegan candles (specifically tealights) in london? I've seen em online, but i'd rather go get them in person.

cheers.

[emmapresley]
