The only thing about Mildred's is that it's not 100% vegan, but maybe they would do a vegan menu for the party if Rebecca asks nicely.

Oh :( I haven't been with a big group and can see that the ordering-in-advance thing would be a downer.

Mildreds sounds like the best bet so far then, unless Manna and the Gate would do a special...

I may be wrong but I think it would be hard to get out of the Gate or Manna without spending more than £30/head unfortunately.

Wouldn't 222 be a cheaper option? I know it's not in South or Central...

Yeah, I've been to Blah Blah Blah a few times though not recently. I quite like it but there used to be one or two gripes, like no/hardly any vegan desserts, and they once tried to refuse to bring...

I like Tas for middle eastern (Turkish) food though of course it's omnivorous. Not sure if they do babaganoush as such there; is it more of a Lebanese thing? Not sure what the best Lebanese places...

There was a quite enthusiastic (omnivore-written) review of Vanilla Black at the weekend:

Those are good tips, Marrers. I was so upset when Country Life disappeared - excellent to hear that it's been sort of reincarnated (though Country Life was cheap and 100% vegan IIRC, grouse :D ).

Thanks, Marrers. Will try and get up there in the day time when there's room for my zimmer frame, and will definitely eschew the soggy veg in favour of Cake.

They should! Mmm, cake.

Whew, I will forget about the dreads then and just work on my cool vibe :D

Thanks, BC and Elahiya, will try and give it a go once I've sorted out my dreads then ;)

Yes, 222 would be nice, Stu, but it's a bit far because we need somewhere to dash into late evening after a concert. It ideally needs to be within about 500 yards of the station really.

I've been...

Can anybody think of a restaurant near S. Kensington tube where you can get vegan food, please? We were planning to go to Pizza Organic which used to do cheeseless pizzas on request but it seems to...

I think VitaOrganic do both raw food and cooked-but-not-raised-above-a-certain-temperature food. It's certainly possible to have a completely raw meal (i.e. salady stuff) there if you want to.

Do you know roughly how much Saf came to per head, please, amanda, or didn't they show you the bill? Glad you had a nice birthday meal anyway!

Thanks, Michael - must go and look for the veggie cafe sometime as I'm quite often in that area.

I heard some people would like to close our riverside rubbish depot (in order to build more flats...

True, and Morden Hall Park is really nice isn't it? Must admit I find that area round S. Wimbledon Station slightly grim but it's probably a subjective thing.

We live in Putney, which is also good...

I don't think there are any really rough areas of Wimbledon but if you look on a map you'll see that the further south you get the further you are from the common and park. "Wimbledon Village" is...

Mind you Wimbledon is quite big and some bits of it are more glam than others. South Wimbledon for example is quite a way from the nearest green space that I can think of. Do you know which bit you'd...

After an absence, the Linda McCartney sausage rolls have reappeared in our local H&B, repackaged and allegedly reformulated, but tasting pretty much the same to us.

One of the cats gave the...

Forum cake shop - where do I sign up? (As a customer, not a purveyor of cakes; baking isn't my strong suit unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately.)

It seems to be quite hard to make the cake part of a vegan cake moist, if it's a sponge-type cake? Hence the icing:cake ratio can be critical :D

ISTR having a nice one in the cafe in Foyle's once.

Must try the Beatroot ones - think I've only ever had salad in there.

Cakes aren't one of my main vices but if I do have one I like it to be unctuous. They often do seem a bit dry unfortunately.

Yes, they are indeed yum. I had a couple at a party we had a while ago and the omnivores all did that "I can't believe this is vegan" thing :D

Thanks Bryzee - sounds as if I made the right decision! Wholesomeness isn't necessarily the first quality one looks for in a cake :o

I went with a couple of omnivores and they seemed to like their...

Has anyone tried the cakes in Vitaorganic? I thought they looked quite nice but the place was a bit too busy for me to interrogate the waiters about what they were. I assume they're vegan, seeing...

We were in 222 on Saturday evening. FWIW it was full and as a result the service was quite slow, which was OK for us but some of the other people there looked as if they might go on the (vegan)...

Heh heh - very wise, being vegetarian eliminates some of the worst horrors of English food ;) though not all of them sadly.

Sounds as if you should do OK, with the helpful teacher. Vegetarianism...

Hello -

I live quite near Wimbledon although I don't often shop there.

I know that there is a Holland and Barrett in the centre of Wimbledon (in a shopping centre called Centre Court) - they...

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...

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.

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.

Glad you had a good time, Holly. Was the service quite fast at that time as well?

Hmm, I've been to Mantra as well but I can't remember anything about it :confused:

Holly, yes Eat and Two Veg is probably about 15 mins' walk away; Mildreds is a bit nearer but I thought you were...

Eat and Two Veg is reasonably near to the London Palladium, isn't it? It's not my absolute favourite but someone told me their omnivore friends like it - you might need to steer them away from the...

Thank you for the great report, Marrers. The food does look very glamorously-presented, as do you :D

I'm not too keen on waiter-intensive experiences but it sounds as if it is probably a good...

Mebbe. Or perhaps two formerly separate establishments have merged?

The place I'm talking about is partly on the sharp left as you come into the yard from the street (room with tables and more...

If I'm thinking of the right place (is there only one salad bar in Neal's Yard?) I was there recently and they seem to have added a non-vegetarian page to the menu, so perhaps they just forgot or...

Really - it would be. I was thinking I ought to go seeing I keep mentioning it, but I'd much rather hear about it from Marrers first.

That would be very public-spirited of you :D
