    Bit of a long shot, but has anyone ever been to the Noodle Bar in Coventry, and managed to get a decent meal?

    Coventry and decent food aren't words usually found in the same sentence!!

    If you know Coventry, and fancy cooking yourself, there's a Japanese shop at Cannon Park that sells chilli marinated tofu, deep fried battered tofu and a few others too.

    I usually got to Browns (city centre bar) for vegan food on a Sunday. They normally have about 6 dishes on the go. It can be a little tricky to get in though...I've been going there for many years and have never had a problem and I'm normally drunk!!

    This is the new Jyoti sweet shop.

    Most of these food items are vegan!!

    They will be opening their new restaurant at this site maybe February (at the earliest) next year.

    We will then have to arrange a meet-up for one of the Saturdays – and fill our bags with loads of goodies too!

    Nicely illustrated Frank. I went in a place a bit like that near Divali... the guy was so friendly he wanted to give me a fat pink fig shaped pistachio sweet spicey hunk of marzipan gorgeousness for free, to go with the battered chilli, and potato pasty whatsit. I managed to persuade him to accept some coins for it though.... I remember wanting to share it with at least four people.
    Count me in for a look around.

    Anyone been to Nima Delicatessen in Moseley? About 2 mins walk from Indigo. Bought some of this year's Christmas presents from there. Like One Earth shop. Not completely vegan.

    Default The One Earth Shop

    Yes, Nima's has some good things. I'm not even sure it's complete vegetarian, though.

    I'd never thought of it as 'like the One Earth shop' - knowing that everything is vegan in the One Earth shop is very liberating. Also: the One Earth shop are willing to order and deliver to your home in Birmingham, for free, absolutely anything in their suppliers catalogues!

    Apparently, there is a serious buyer interested in keeping The One Earth Shop vegan, but the sale is currently going very slowly so nothing will change for the next few months at least.

    Apparently, also, The One Earth Shop is open today and tomorrow (Tue/Wed 30/31 Dec 2008) then open again Sat 3 Jan 2009 - closed for Hogmanay (Thu 1/Fri 2 Jan 2009).

    Bad news:

    Khazana is no longer strictly vegetarian, they now serve meat dishes, I spoke to them on the phone the other day and asked whether there would still be a good selection of vegan items on the menu and the buffet, the response I got was "yeah, and if not we can do them".

    This is unfortunate. I'm not sure why they have chosen to do this, perhaps the number of customers was declining due to the economy so they have decided to attempt to draw in a larger customer base.

    Whatever the reason, this is unfortunate.

    Give them a call, I am sure it was still the last time I went that way about a month ago. I went in there over a year ago, but it wasn't completely veggie even then, they had meat dishes and veggie/vegan options.

    I went to the Warehouse Cafe a few weeks back and it was fantastic. There was a big group of us and the catered to us fantastically!

    The even allowed us to bring our own alcohol as their selection was limited.

    I will definetely be going back.

    Default Vegans at Birmingham 'Changing Lifestyles'?

    Changing Lifestyles is a three-day exploration of sustainable living, from noon on Mon 2 Feb until 9pm on Wed 4 Feb 2009, part of the process of building a sustainable, resilient region. It's on at the Birmingham Town Hall. You can find out more from the Changing Lifestyles Web site: http://www.globallylocal.net/ or contact Changing Lifestyles on dmc@globallylocal.net and 0121 523 6682.

    I know that BVV (http://www.bvv.org.uk/) will have an information stall there - and could do with vegans to help out There's going to be a discussion of diet and environment at 3.30pm on the Tuesday, which apparently is attracting interest from a diverse range of people e.g. catering businesses, Rastafarian groups etc.

    Anyone planning to go to any part of the Changing Lifestyles expo? BVV can apparently get group discount tickets if we get in touch with them this week.

    (Famous Transition Towns initiator Rob Hopkins will also be there on Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning).

    I've got a question about the Warehouse Cafe. If you're an adult can you have one of the children's meals if you want? Or do you have to just have the normal adult meals? I haven't been there too often, but I prefer the look of the children's section as I'm a fussy eater. I think last time I went, last year, I had a grilled cheese sandwich or something similar but that doesn't seem to be on their website now.

    One on Broad Street, the other at Broadway Plaza.

    Booking ahead early - you may get the room for a good price.

    The Warehouse Cafe are open 7 days a week if you get hungry! :smile:

    They are all within walking distance. I'd say 10 minutes max for the furthest one.

    There are lots of pubs/restaurants etc heading back to your hotel if that's of interest to you.

    I walked past Cafe Soya in the Arcadian today and went in to look at the menu - they now serve meat/fish in there but the vegetarian menu said on it that dishes can be vegan - you have to say when ordering you are vegan.

    The staff were clued up on what a vegan can/cant have and said it mentions vegan meals on their new website (which Ive looked at and does)

    They do use some msg in some dishes there, but told me the vegan food is cooked in different pans, away from any meat/fish.

    They have introduced the soya protein like you get in the tai buffets in London, they also make their own tofu.

    Alisont, as long as I've known cafe soya existed they have served meat and fish, but yeah everything is cooked separately.

    The £5 lunch special with a drink is awesome and they have about 10 different dishes to choose from

    Vegan Chip Shop!!

    Here's a message from my friend Lisa:


    ''Thought I would just let you know about a new veggie takeaway in Birmingham

    Dils Diner
    Chip shop & Guajarti Takeaway
    1545 Stratford Road (Robin Hood roundabout) Hall Green Birmingham
    B28 9JA
    t:0121 7456124

    I had food there the other day and found the food cheap, tasty and authentic. I had the masala Dosa, a stuffed chilli and my friend had a veggie burga and a somosa and it only came to £5, we also eat in. As Well as Guajarti (Indian) food they have veggie english style pies, veggie sausages, burgers, battered veggie sausage etc. They do dilivery within 3miles and will do catering for funtions.

    You can get there from Birmingham or Solihull on the number 6 bus or the 76 from Kings Heath High Street or Solihul.

    They don't advertise as beening veggie but they are and most of the food is vegan.''


    I'll be trying it soon.... :smile:
