Bristol was great for vegans, theres a massive health store called Fresh & Wild selection is so good and their vegan cakes - wow!

Falafel King. Do you know if it stays open later than 11pm as it claims?I spoke to the Falafel King (http://www.veganbristol.makessense.co.uk/locations/124.html) today. They stay open until midnight, unless it's quiet.

They are looking to expand, and maybe into a shop. :D

Thanks alot for that gertvegan! I'll call them when we get to Bristol, just to be on the safe side - I'm hoping it won't be a quiet night!
Oh yeah - I had trouble trying to drag my husband to the Vegan Fayre in Newport (we never went:( ), I'll try my best to get to the Bristol Fayre next June.

[gertvegan]

I popped into Tiffins (http://www.veganbristol.makessense.co.uk/locations/122.html) yesterday for a quick bite to eat. The couple that run this place are two of the nicest people you will have the pleasure of meeting, and their food is equally as good.

They were at the Bristol Vegan Fayre 2005 (http://www.veganbristol.makessense.co.uk/events/30.html) and will be at the next bash as well.

Well worth a visit. ;)

I went to Sands Restaurant (http://www.sandsrestaurant.co.uk) recently, up near the Uni.

I can't remember exactly what I had, I think it was the Vegetarian Lunch of Hommos, Tabouleh, Zahra Maglia, Falafel & Sheikh El Mahshi. It was all vegan whatever I had anyways.

Quite a nice place, it gets good reviews, worth a visit if you just happen to up that way.

It may well find its way onto the Vegan Bristol (http://www.veganbristol.makessense.co.uk) website before long. :)

I've had a sneak preview of 'A Vegan Guide to Bristol 2006' and I have to say its the best guide that Yaoh have produced so far. Loads of local info, many an interesting article as per usual, top text, well neat art work, a treat and a half I reckon.

Hopefully a fair bit of it will find it's way onto the Vegan Bristol (http://www.veganbristol.makessense.co.uk) website. :)

I'm not up for mail order, anyone know a good place for vegan shoes in Bristol?

I've had a sneak preview of 'A Vegan Guide to Bristol 2006'
It's going to print later this week I believe, read more here. (http://www.veganbristol.makessense.co.uk/news/full_story.html?id=108) :cool:

There aren't any specifc places in Bristol that sell vegan shoes. You can find non- leather shoes in standard shops, you have to read the labels to see what they're made of. Cheaper shoes shops in Bedminster have quite a few plastic ones. Also New Balance trainers are often non-leather - again you need to check. These can be found in most sports shoe shops. I even found some quite good non leather trainers in Lidl!
If you want good quality shoes, I really would recomend someone like vegetarian shoes. You could always take a trip to Brighton to visit the shop!
