Join us every Monday for our FREE community hands-on nutrition and cooking classes. Please note: Class starts at 6.30pm. There is a strict no admittance after 7pm.
Purpose: To create behaviour change by teaching people how to cook so that they may prevent and reduce food waste in their homes and reduce their reliance on single use plastics by having the skills to prepare their own food.

– Improve your existing cooking skills and learn new recipes and healthy cooking techniques. No added fats used; how to cook with waters, added herbs and spices instead of reaching for that processed bottle of oil.

Zero waste Tofu making workshop @ 10 Cable St
Ft. the’artyvegan

Please join us, Maurelio & Ellora from the’artyvegan for our new Tofu making workshop

Deets:
10:30-13:30
£54.00 + Booking Fee 
(includes lunch and Tofu + Okara to take home)

In this workshop, you will get hands-on experience in making your own tofu from scratch.

Why is this class called zero waste? That’s because we will also use the excess pulp from making the soy milk into something delicious we can eat! Nothing goes to waste!
For those eco-worriers out there you’ll also get to have tofu without buying it in big plastic tubs! 

This pulp is called ‘Okara’. Growing up partly in Japan I used to see a lot of this at our local tofu shop piled up in big barrels and our mum turning them into croquettes : )

Once we’ve made the tofu we will learn about okara and what we can do with it.

Alongside this, we will also learn about ‘yuba’ and have a go at making this too. ( Yuba is a thin layer of skin that is created when you boil soy milk.) This is delicious eaten with simple wasabi and soy sauce. 

Learn to make:

Fresh Tofu from scratch
Okara
Yuba

Followed by family-style lunch of Okara salad, another dish using okara, miso soup, and rice.

Please let us know if you have any allergies when you book.

A regular long afternoon and evening of board/card games!

Bring your favourite ones or just your inner geek — we usually have games for everyone 🤓 Arrive whenever you like, stay as long as you want: new games will be starting as people come in, with often one or two that can be joined at any given time. Look out for one of the hosts if you’d like to be introduced to other attendees.

Here’s a list of games that are frequently available at our events:

Also, you can preview the rules of some of our most loved games here: http://bit.ly/BoardgameRules — but this is not at all required, we’re always happy to teach/explain games to new players.

Join the CULT!

Well, everyone seems to think veganism is a cult anyway! 😉

But joking aside, we have excellent news. From March 2015, every Tuesday is a vegan day (http://www.tibits.ch/en/food-drink/vegan.html) at Tibits (http://www.tibits.ch/en/restaurants.html#tibits-london-heddon-street)!

And having been thinking that we needed a relaxed, midweek social event in central London, this seemed to be the perfect opportunity.

We have booked the entire basement on the last Tuesday of every month. So come on down, meet other vegans, and enjoy vegan food and drink. (You’re welcome to arrive any time between our start and end times.)

If you haven’t been before, Tibits is a great “pay-by-weight” buffet-style restaurant just off Regent Street. And on their vegan days, everything (or at least almost everything) in the buffet is vegan.

So don’t forget to save room for their sticky toffee pudding!

HAPPY HOUR
Arrive early to take advantage of Tibits’ Happy Hour (Mon-Thurs 4-7 pm).
• All cocktails £5
• Pints £3.50
• Bottles of house wine £12.50
• Bottles of Prosecco £18

ACCESSIBILITY
Tibits is a wheelchair-accessible venue with a lift to the basement (where we’ll be) and a wheelchair-accessible toilet. However, the lift is a little hidden, so please ask staff. (A member of staff will usually greet customers as they enter.)

FREE MEMBERSHIP. FREE ATTENDANCE.
We’re keen to ensure that cost is never a barrier to attendance – either for vegans on a low-income, or for non-vegans who don’t want to pay to learn more about veganism. Therefore, we never charge for membership or attendance. But that doesn’t mean that our group or our events don’t cost us anything to run! So if you’d like to (and are able to) support our events and future projects, you can find out how to do so here:

NEW ROUTE

After over 6 years of organising the Walkabout, I thought it would be a good idea to make a few changes, to re-fresh and add some more Walking to the Walkabout :)

My idea is we will walk to Brixton, which will enable us to really explore the back streets and parks of Southwark, Vauxhall & Oval along the way, and then enjoy lunch wherever we like, then after lunch, some of us may like to chill out in Brockwell Park, or head to a pub if the weather’s bad, or carry on Walking, taking a different route back to the river… :)

PLEASE NOTE;
Bring Water & Vegan snacks for the Walk :)

Approximate times (may run later; updates will appear in the comments)
12.30-12.45pm
We’ll gather in the Courtyard of Somerset house, by the statue near the fountains (nearest tube; Trafalgar Square, or Charing Cross Station, or Waterloo)

12.45ish
Start walking, possibly heading out the back of Somerset House, to the balcony facing the Thames, turn right & follow a path down to the street to cross Waterloo Bridge

We’ll pass by Waterloo station, and meander through back streets, taking us via a few parks, including eventually Kennington Park :)

1.45ish or maybe 2pm *Given walking pace, bathroom breaks as needed, etc*
We’ll arrive at the first port of call, Cafe Van Gogh; some can eat here, or we can meet latecomers here, and some may like to carry on, another 20 minutes walk, to the outdoor & indoor markets & Ms Cupcake :) *See the long list below*

After lunch, depending on the weather, we may meet at ~>

The DOGSTAR

Or other pubs include;
MARKET HOUSE, PRINCE ALBERT (All three on Coldharbour Lane, near Ms Cupcake)

Or, if the weather’s nice, we’ll chill out in…
BROCKWELL PARK

(Which is near two pubs, HOOTENNANY & EFFRA SOCIAL, or further afield, at Brixton Hill, there’s THE WHITE HORSE *nice pub, good playlist*

Or, we can carry on enjoying exploring & walking, maybe take a different route BACK TO THE RIVER :) & get tubes/buses home from there :)

~~~*~~~
Here’s a list of Vegan delights in the markets & local area;

Things are often changing at the market in Brixton Station Road, but, you may find;

SABA’s ETHIOPIAN STALL ~> Mostly Vegan options, including spicy lentil, potato & salad dishes, with fermented Injera bread or rice

Since September 2014, London has had a new, all vegan bar / restaurant / venue – Kabaret at Karamel. Run by vegans, and with an all vegan menu and drinks list, this is now the home of London Vegan Drinks. And although it’s a little out of central London, it’s less than 30 minutes from Oxford Circus by public transport.

What’s more, they have a late license until the early hours at weekends. So feel free to arrive any time between our start and end times. And being a Saturday, you (hopefully!) won’t have to worry about work in the morning.

If you’ve been to London Vegan Drinks before, you’ll already know that this event, founded by blogger FatGayVegan in 2011, has become London’s biggest monthly vegan social event (having already outgrown three previous venues). And if you haven’t been before, it’s about time you did!

Invite your friends who aren’t on Meetup here: https://www.facebook.com/londonvegandrinks/events/

ACCESSIBILITY
Karamel is a wheelchair-accessible venue, with a folding ramp to help customers over the doorsill. (There’s a second entrance just past the main entrance that may be more accessible, but which isn’t always open.) The venue also has a wheelchair-accessible toilet (towards the front of the building, behind the bar.)

FREE MEMBERSHIP. FREE ATTENDANCE.
We’re keen to ensure that cost is never a barrier to attendance – either for vegans on a low-income, or for non-vegans who don’t want to pay to learn more about veganism.

Enjoy meeting people? And vegan food/drink? Come to Europe’s largest monthly vegan social on the first Saturday of every month! (Admission is free!)

London Vegan Drinks typically sees up to 100 vegans and the vegan-friendly assembling in this fantastic vegan-run venue – with a fully vegan food and drinks menu (including plenty of options for teetotallers!)

Hopefully, you won’t have to worry about work in the morning, because we have a late license until 1am, and DJs playing your requests from 10pm. (And don’t forget that there’s now the night tube to take you home at all hours!)

Welcome to Book Club at Tibits.

We plan to meet regularly on the second Tuesday of the month. Everyone is welcome, just bring yourself, a suggestion for the next book and a desire to eat some yummy food. If you’ve actually read this month’s book, even better!

Each month we vote for a book to read for the meeting in two months time – this hopefully gives everyone enough time to acquire and read the book.

List of all books past and present: https://goo.gl/wNZ6WF

On the second Sunday of every month, we meet at Karamel to enjoy their Sunday roast – or one of the other options on the menu, such as bangers’n’mash, or pizza. Plus drinks, desserts, cake, and more.

A regular long afternoon and evening of board/card games!

Bring your favourite ones or just your inner geek — we usually have games for everyone 🤓 Arrive whenever you like, stay as long as you want: new games will be starting as people come in, with often one or two that can be joined at any given time. Look out for one of the hosts if you’d like to be introduced to other attendees.

Here’s a list of games that are frequently available at our events:
https://boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/geekstraveganza
You can read a description of each game, and if anything tickles your fancy don’t hesitate to post a message on the event to ask for a specific game (although we can’t guarantee that the owner will attend or bring it).

Also, you can preview the rules of some of our most loved games here: http://bit.ly/BoardgameRules — but this is not at all required, we’re always happy to teach/explain games to new players.

Accessibility: this venue is accessible but has no accessible toilets.

Join us every Monday for our FREE community hands-on nutrition and cooking classes. Please note: Class starts at 6.30pm. There is a strict no admittance after 7pm.
Purpose: To create behaviour change by teaching people how to cook so that they may prevent and reduce food waste in their homes and reduce their reliance on single use plastics by having the skills to prepare their own food.
** Register in advance to save time: https://forms.gle/3uk7McqQtjc98Wdr7

– Learn how to cook from scratch hands-on in small groups. How to reduce processed and hyper processed foods from your diet.
– Improve your existing cooking skills and learn new recipes and healthy cooking techniques. No added fats used; how to cook with waters, added herbs and spices instead of reaching for that processed bottle of oil.
– Learn to plan your meals and save money on your grocery bills and reduce your food waste; the average household in the UK, with children, spends about £60 a month (that’s £700 a year) on food that is never eaten. If we stopped wasting food in the UK, it would be the same as taking one out of four cars off the road.
– Improve your health by learning how-to adopt a diet centred around fruits, vegetables, beans & pulses and whole grains. Not just vegan, but low-fat vegan. Suitable for vegetarians, lactose intolerant and halal friendly.
– Watch mini evidence-based nutritional videos. Curricula is provided by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine

Zero waste Tofu making workshop @ 10 Cable St
Ft. the’artyvegan

Please join us, Maurelio & Ellora from the’artyvegan for our new Tofu making workshop

Deets:
10:30-13:30
£54.00 + Booking Fee 
(includes lunch and Tofu + Okara to take home)

In this workshop, you will get hands-on experience in making your own tofu from scratch.

Why is this class called zero waste? That’s because we will also use the excess pulp from making the soy milk into something delicious we can eat! Nothing goes to waste!
For those eco-worriers out there you’ll also get to have tofu without buying it in big plastic tubs! 

This pulp is called ‘Okara’. Growing up partly in Japan I used to see a lot of this at our local tofu shop piled up in big barrels and our mum turning them into croquettes : )

Once we’ve made the tofu we will learn about okara and what we can do with it.

Alongside this, we will also learn about ‘yuba’ and have a go at making this too. ( Yuba is a thin layer of skin that is created when you boil soy milk.) This is delicious eaten with simple wasabi and soy sauce. 

Learn to make:

Fresh Tofu from scratch
Okara
Yuba

Followed by family-style lunch of Okara salad, another dish using okara, miso soup, and rice.

Please let us know if you have any allergies when you book.

Join the CULT!

Well, everyone seems to think veganism is a cult anyway! 😉

But joking aside, we have excellent news. From March 2015, every Tuesday is a vegan day (http://www.tibits.ch/en/food-drink/vegan.html) at Tibits (http://www.tibits.ch/en/restaurants.html#tibits-london-heddon-street)!

And having been thinking that we needed a relaxed, midweek social event in central London, this seemed to be the perfect opportunity.

We have booked the entire basement on the last Tuesday of every month. So come on down, meet other vegans, and enjoy vegan food and drink. (You’re welcome to arrive any time between our start and end times.)

If you haven’t been before, Tibits is a great “pay-by-weight” buffet-style restaurant just off Regent Street. And on their vegan days, everything (or at least almost everything) in the buffet is vegan.

So don’t forget to save room for their sticky toffee pudding!

HAPPY HOUR
Arrive early to take advantage of Tibits’ Happy Hour (Mon-Thurs 4-7 pm).
• All cocktails £5
• Pints £3.50
• Bottles of house wine £12.50
• Bottles of Prosecco £18

ACCESSIBILITY
Tibits is a wheelchair-accessible venue with a lift to the basement (where we’ll be) and a wheelchair-accessible toilet. However, the lift is a little hidden, so please ask staff. (A member of staff will usually greet customers as they enter.)

FREE MEMBERSHIP. FREE ATTENDANCE.
We’re keen to ensure that cost is never a barrier to attendance – either for vegans on a low-income, or for non-vegans who don’t want to pay to learn more about veganism. Therefore, we never charge for membership or attendance. But that doesn’t mean that our group or our events don’t cost us anything to run! So if you’d like to (and are able to) support our events and future projects, you can find out how to do so here:

NEW ROUTE

After over 6 years of organising the Walkabout, I thought it would be a good idea to make a few changes, to re-fresh and add some more Walking to the Walkabout :)

My idea is we will walk to Brixton, which will enable us to really explore the back streets and parks of Southwark, Vauxhall & Oval along the way, and then enjoy lunch wherever we like, then after lunch, some of us may like to chill out in Brockwell Park, or head to a pub if the weather’s bad, or carry on Walking, taking a different route back to the river… :)

PLEASE NOTE;
Bring Water & Vegan snacks for the Walk :)

Approximate times (may run later; updates will appear in the comments)
12.30-12.45pm
We’ll gather in the Courtyard of Somerset house, by the statue near the fountains (nearest tube; Trafalgar Square, or Charing Cross Station, or Waterloo)

12.45ish
Start walking, possibly heading out the back of Somerset House, to the balcony facing the Thames, turn right & follow a path down to the street to cross Waterloo Bridge

We’ll pass by Waterloo station, and meander through back streets, taking us via a few parks, including eventually Kennington Park :)

1.45ish or maybe 2pm *Given walking pace, bathroom breaks as needed, etc*
We’ll arrive at the first port of call, Cafe Van Gogh; some can eat here, or we can meet latecomers here, and some may like to carry on, another 20 minutes walk, to the outdoor & indoor markets & Ms Cupcake :) *See the long list below*

After lunch, depending on the weather, we may meet at ~>

The DOGSTAR

Or other pubs include;
MARKET HOUSE, PRINCE ALBERT (All three on Coldharbour Lane, near Ms Cupcake)

Or, if the weather’s nice, we’ll chill out in…
BROCKWELL PARK

(Which is near two pubs, HOOTENNANY & EFFRA SOCIAL, or further afield, at Brixton Hill, there’s THE WHITE HORSE *nice pub, good playlist*

Or, we can carry on enjoying exploring & walking, maybe take a different route BACK TO THE RIVER :) & get tubes/buses home from there :)

~~~*~~~
Here’s a list of Vegan delights in the markets & local area;

Things are often changing at the market in Brixton Station Road, but, you may find;

SABA’s ETHIOPIAN STALL ~> Mostly Vegan options, including spicy lentil, potato & salad dishes, with fermented Injera bread or rice

Since September 2014, London has had a new, all vegan bar / restaurant / venue – Kabaret at Karamel. Run by vegans, and with an all vegan menu and drinks list, this is now the home of London Vegan Drinks. And although it’s a little out of central London, it’s less than 30 minutes from Oxford Circus by public transport.

What’s more, they have a late license until the early hours at weekends. So feel free to arrive any time between our start and end times. And being a Saturday, you (hopefully!) won’t have to worry about work in the morning.

If you’ve been to London Vegan Drinks before, you’ll already know that this event, founded by blogger FatGayVegan in 2011, has become London’s biggest monthly vegan social event (having already outgrown three previous venues). And if you haven’t been before, it’s about time you did!

Invite your friends who aren’t on Meetup here: https://www.facebook.com/londonvegandrinks/events/

ACCESSIBILITY
Karamel is a wheelchair-accessible venue, with a folding ramp to help customers over the doorsill. (There’s a second entrance just past the main entrance that may be more accessible, but which isn’t always open.) The venue also has a wheelchair-accessible toilet (towards the front of the building, behind the bar.)

We plan to meet regularly on the second Tuesday of the month. Everyone is welcome, just bring yourself, a suggestion for the next book and a desire to eat some yummy food. If you’ve actually read this month’s book, even better!

Each month we vote for a book to read for the meeting in two months time – this hopefully gives everyone enough time to acquire and read the book.

A regular long afternoon and evening of board/card games!

Bring your favourite ones or just your inner geek — we usually have games for everyone 🤓 Arrive whenever you like, stay as long as you want: new games will be starting as people come in, with often one or two that can be joined at any given time. Look out for one of the hosts if you’d like to be introduced to other attendees.

Here’s a list of games that are frequently available at our events:
https://boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/geekstraveganza
You can read a description of each game, and if anything tickles your fancy don’t hesitate to post a message on the event to ask for a specific game (although we can’t guarantee that the owner will attend or bring it).

Also, you can preview the rules of some of our most loved games here: http://bit.ly/BoardgameRules — but this is not at all required, we’re always happy to teach/explain games to new players.

Accessibility: this venue is accessible but has no accessible toilets.

Join us every Monday for our FREE community hands-on nutrition and cooking classes. Please note: Class starts at 6.30pm. There is a strict no admittance after 7pm.
Purpose: To create behaviour change by teaching people how to cook so that they may prevent and reduce food waste in their homes and reduce their reliance on single use plastics by having the skills to prepare their own food.
** Register in advance to save time: https://forms.gle/3uk7McqQtjc98Wdr7
You can also register in person upon arrival. There is no need to re-register if you have attended one of our events previously.**
– Learn how to cook from scratch hands-on in small groups. How to reduce processed and hyper processed foods from your diet.
– Improve your existing cooking skills and learn new recipes and healthy cooking techniques. No added fats used; how to cook with waters, added herbs and spices instead of reaching for that processed bottle of oil.
– Learn to plan your meals and save money on your grocery bills and reduce your food waste; the average household in the UK, with children, spends about £60 a month (that’s £700 a year) on food that is never eaten. If we stopped wasting food in the UK, it would be the same as taking one out of four cars off the road.
– Improve your health by learning how-to adopt a diet centred around fruits, vegetables, beans & pulses and whole grains. Not just vegan, but low-fat vegan. Suitable for vegetarians, lactose intolerant and halal friendly.
– Watch mini evidence-based nutritional videos. Curricula is provided by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine

Join the CULT!

Well, everyone seems to think veganism is a cult anyway! 😉

But joking aside, we have excellent news. From March 2015, every Tuesday is a vegan day (http://www.tibits.ch/en/food-drink/vegan.html) at Tibits (http://www.tibits.ch/en/restaurants.html#tibits-london-heddon-street)!

And having been thinking that we needed a relaxed, midweek social event in central London, this seemed to be the perfect opportunity.

We have booked the entire basement on the last Tuesday of every month. So come on down, meet other vegans, and enjoy vegan food and drink. (You’re welcome to arrive any time between our start and end times.)

If you haven’t been before, Tibits is a great “pay-by-weight” buffet-style restaurant just off Regent Street. And on their vegan days, everything (or at least almost everything) in the buffet is vegan.

So don’t forget to save room for their sticky toffee pudding!

HAPPY HOUR
Arrive early to take advantage of Tibits’ Happy Hour (Mon-Thurs 4-7 pm).
• All cocktails £5
• Pints £3.50
• Bottles of house wine £12.50
• Bottles of Prosecco £18

ACCESSIBILITY
Tibits is a wheelchair-accessible venue with a lift to the basement (where we’ll be) and a wheelchair-accessible toilet. However, the lift is a little hidden, so please ask staff. (A member of staff will usually greet customers as they enter.)

FREE MEMBERSHIP. FREE ATTENDANCE.
We’re keen to ensure that cost is never a barrier to attendance – either for vegans on a low-income, or for non-vegans who don’t want to pay to learn more about veganism. Therefore, we never charge for membership or attendance. But that doesn’t mean that our group or our events don’t cost us anything to run!

NEW ROUTE

After over 6 years of organising the Walkabout, I thought it would be a good idea to make a few changes, to re-fresh and add some more Walking to the Walkabout :)

My idea is we will walk to Brixton, which will enable us to really explore the back streets and parks of Southwark, Vauxhall & Oval along the way, and then enjoy lunch wherever we like, then after lunch, some of us may like to chill out in Brockwell Park, or head to a pub if the weather’s bad, or carry on Walking, taking a different route back to the river… :)

PLEASE NOTE;
Bring Water & Vegan snacks for the Walk :)

Approximate times (may run later; updates will appear in the comments)
12.30-12.45pm
We’ll gather in the Courtyard of Somerset house, by the statue near the fountains (nearest tube; Trafalgar Square, or Charing Cross Station, or Waterloo)

12.45ish
Start walking, possibly heading out the back of Somerset House, to the balcony facing the Thames, turn right & follow a path down to the street to cross Waterloo Bridge

We’ll pass by Waterloo station, and meander through back streets, taking us via a few parks, including eventually Kennington Park :)

1.45ish or maybe 2pm *Given walking pace, bathroom breaks as needed, etc*
We’ll arrive at the first port of call, Cafe Van Gogh; some can eat here, or we can meet latecomers here, and some may like to carry on, another 20 minutes walk, to the outdoor & indoor markets & Ms Cupcake :) *See the long list below*

After lunch, depending on the weather, we may meet at ~>

The DOGSTAR

Or other pubs include;
MARKET HOUSE, PRINCE ALBERT (All three on Coldharbour Lane, near Ms Cupcake)

Or, if the weather’s nice, we’ll chill out in…
BROCKWELL PARK

(Which is near two pubs, HOOTENNANY & EFFRA SOCIAL, or further afield, at Brixton Hill, there’s THE WHITE HORSE *nice pub, good playlist*

Or, we can carry on enjoying exploring & walking, maybe take a different route BACK TO THE RIVER :) & get tubes/buses home from there :)

~~~*~~~
Here’s a list of Vegan delights in the markets & local area;

Things are often changing at the market in Brixton Station Road, but, you may find;

SABA’s ETHIOPIAN STALL ~> Mostly Vegan options, including spicy lentil, potato & salad dishes, with fermented Injera bread or rice

Since September 2014, London has had a new, all vegan bar / restaurant / venue – Kabaret at Karamel. Run by vegans, and with an all vegan menu and drinks list, this is now the home of London Vegan Drinks. And although it’s a little out of central London, it’s less than 30 minutes from Oxford Circus by public transport.

What’s more, they have a late license until the early hours at weekends. So feel free to arrive any time between our start and end times. And being a Saturday, you (hopefully!) won’t have to worry about work in the morning.

If you’ve been to London Vegan Drinks before, you’ll already know that this event, founded by blogger FatGayVegan in 2011, has become London’s biggest monthly vegan social event (having already outgrown three previous venues). And if you haven’t been before, it’s about time you did!

Invite your friends who aren’t on Meetup here: https://www.facebook.com/londonvegandrinks/events/

ACCESSIBILITY
Karamel is a wheelchair-accessible venue, with a folding ramp to help customers over the doorsill. (There’s a second entrance just past the main entrance that may be more accessible, but which isn’t always open.) The venue also has a wheelchair-accessible toilet (towards the front of the building, behind the bar.)

FREE MEMBERSHIP. FREE ATTENDANCE.
We’re keen to ensure that cost is never a barrier to attendance – either for vegans on a low-income, or for non-vegans who don’t want to pay to learn more about veganism. Therefore, we never charge for membership or attendance. But that doesn’t mean that our group or our events don’t cost us anything to run!

Enjoy meeting people? And vegan food/drink? Come to Europe’s largest monthly vegan social on the first Saturday of every month! (Admission is free!)

London Vegan Drinks typically sees up to 100 vegans and the vegan-friendly assembling in this fantastic vegan-run venue – with a fully vegan food and drinks menu (including plenty of options for teetotallers!)

Hopefully, you won’t have to worry about work in the morning, because we have a late license until 1am, and DJs playing your requests from 10pm. (And don’t forget that there’s now the night tube to take you home at all hours!)

If you’re on Meetup.com, you can also RSVP at http://www.meetup.com/londonvegan/

*The Vegan Cakery is a trader at this event, the organiser is Animal Aid*

On the second Sunday of every month, we meet at Karamel to enjoy their Sunday roast – or one of the other options on the menu, such as bangers’n’mash, or pizza. Plus drinks, desserts, cake, and more.

Here’s a list of games that are frequently available at our events:

You can read a description of each game, and if anything tickles your fancy don’t hesitate to post a message on the event to connect with someone who owns a copy.

Also, you can preview the rules of some of our most loved games here: http://bit.ly/BoardgameRules — but this is not at all required, we’re always happy to teach/explain games to new players.

Accessibility: this venue is fully accessible and has an accessible toilet. Yay!

Join us every Monday for our FREE community hands-on nutrition and cooking classes. Please note: Class starts at 6.30pm. There is a strict no admittance after 7pm.
Purpose: To create behaviour change by teaching people how to cook so that they may prevent and reduce food waste in their homes and reduce their reliance on single use plastics by having the skills to prepare their own food.
** Register in advance to save time: https://forms.gle/3uk7McqQtjc98Wdr7
You can also register in person upon arrival. There is no need to re-register if you have attended one of our events previously.**
– Learn how to cook from scratch hands-on in small groups. How to reduce processed and hyper processed foods from your diet.
– Improve your existing cooking skills and learn new recipes and healthy cooking techniques. No added fats used; how to cook with waters, added herbs and spices instead of reaching for that processed bottle of oil.
– Learn to plan your meals and save money on your grocery bills and reduce your food waste; the average household in the UK, with children, spends about £60 a month (that’s £700 a year) on food that is never eaten. If we stopped wasting food in the UK, it would be the same as taking one out of four cars off the road.
– Improve your health by learning how-to adopt a diet centred around fruits, vegetables, beans & pulses and whole grains. Not just vegan, but low-fat vegan. Suitable for vegetarians, lactose intolerant and halal friendly.
– Watch mini evidence-based nutritional videos. Curricula is provided by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
– This is a community event and your help is requested for washing up and cleaning up. As this too is a part of learning to cook and manage time.
– Community cohesion: Meet other people and reduce social isolation.
– Surplus produce donated to us by The Felix Project

Join the CULT!

Well, everyone seems to think veganism is a cult anyway! 😉

But joking aside, we have excellent news. From March 2015, every Tuesday is a vegan day (http://www.tibits.ch/en/food-drink/vegan.html) at Tibits (http://www.tibits.ch/en/restaurants.html#tibits-london-heddon-street)!

And having been thinking that we needed a relaxed, midweek social event in central London, this seemed to be the perfect opportunity.

We have booked the entire basement on the last Tuesday of every month. So come on down, meet other vegans, and enjoy vegan food and drink. (You’re welcome to arrive any time between our start and end times.)

If you haven’t been before, Tibits is a great “pay-by-weight” buffet-style restaurant just off Regent Street. And on their vegan days, everything (or at least almost everything) in the buffet is vegan.

So don’t forget to save room for their sticky toffee pudding!

HAPPY HOUR
Arrive early to take advantage of Tibits’ Happy Hour (Mon-Thurs 4-7 pm).
• All cocktails £5
• Pints £3.50
• Bottles of house wine £12.50
• Bottles of Prosecco £18

ACCESSIBILITY
Tibits is a wheelchair-accessible venue with a lift to the basement (where we’ll be) and a wheelchair-accessible toilet. However, the lift is a little hidden, so please ask staff. (A member of staff will usually greet customers as they enter.)

FREE MEMBERSHIP. FREE ATTENDANCE.
We’re keen to ensure that cost is never a barrier to attendance – either for vegans on a low-income, or for non-vegans who don’t want to pay to learn more about veganism. Therefore, we never charge for membership or attendance. But that doesn’t mean that our group or our events don’t cost us anything to run! So if you’d like to (and are able to) support our events and future projects, you can find out how to do so here:
