Described as dishing up Drool-Worthy Junk Food, the Vegan Kitchen is run by a young couple passionate about food and flavours.

 

Street food which is locally sourced, freshly prepared and lovingly made, all in-house. Fresh home cooked food that is bursting with flavour and tastes delicious. Mouthwatering burgers, wings and hot dogs made from sunflower seeds and smoked to perfection.

Plenty of choices. If not their cheesy hot dawg topped with CheeZe sauce, BBQ sauce and THIS isn’t bacon bits, all in a brioche roll is fast food as it is meant to be and which has to be tried.

If not, there are a dozen different burgers to choose from. A spicy ‘Tornado Funguy’ – crispy shroom on a toasted brioche bun with melted CheeZe, homemade tornado sauce, tortilla chips, mayo, shredded lettuce, purple slaw and fresh chillies. Or ‘Smokin Jammin’ New Kid’- a meatless patty on a toasted brioche bun served with smoked melted CheeZe, THIS isn’t bacon slices, caramelised onion, chilli jam, baconnaise and shredded lettuce.

Everything screaming flavour, filthy homemade vegan street food at its finest.

This little restaurant in Lyme Regis is in a class of its own.

They offer vegetarian, vegan and gluten free dishes with a Spanish, French and North African influence.

Artfully prepared and presented, whatever you choose will taste as good as if not better than it looks.

Everything is made in-house with love and care by the Chief Chef Mark and their Brilliant Baker Jane. Offering delicious, wholesome food using the best locally sourced and organic ingredients wherever possible.

There is also a Deli stocked with a selection of savouries, sweets, sauces and salads as well as a large range of vegetarian and vegan whole foods to eat at home or take away as gifts.

Lunch at Luckes Cafe in North St Chichester is not only colourful, it looks horribly healthy.

There is something for everyone. From meat lovers to Vegetarians and Vegans, with lots of delicious gluten and dairy free options.

Drapers Yard is a creative space where you find Chichesters small independent retailers and producers.

Along with the Nourish Cafe which is run by UK Harvest. The only café that cooks entirely with fresh, delicious surplus ingredients, offering a vegan and vegetarian menu that changes every day.

They open from 10am Tuesday to Saturday for breakfast, a light lunch, coffee tea and homemade cakes.

Not me!

But despite the increased awareness about the prevalence and impact of food allergies it is still a minefield out there for those who have to watch what they are eating.

Found myself in Portsmouth and in need of coffee

The only cafe I knew of closed up shop a few years ago, which is how I eventually ended up at Hunter Gatherer in Albert Rd Southsea.

A speciality coffee shop for those that take their coffee seriously and know about these things. But it was the unassuming lemon drizzle cake that did it for me. Something so simple, done just right.

We also had the matcha green tea cake which was interesting.

Interesting enough to ask about and help myself to a cheese and leek ‘soos’ roll. That is when the penny dropped and I realised Hunter Gaterer also specialise in plant based food. Which if their cake is anything to go by deserves another look.
