We are the Fagans: a family of 5 foodies of whom 4 of us are vegetarian and one who goes by that modern term – flexitarian. We love to dine out, sample new dishes and generally just eat so we thought we would put this to good use and review the vegetarian and vegan fare…
A freezing cold and windy day in February stood on the touchline watching football in Caernarfon is not my idea of a fun Saturday morning. However, it did mean that as a consolation we could head to Bangor for lunch. That’s Bangor in North Wales mind and not Bangor in Northern Ireland as I found…
We love doing taste tests as a family. They take a bit of prep and organising but they are fun and means we get to try loads of different varieties of foods. This time we thought we would taste test sausages. There are loads of different ones and new products seem to be appearing all…
Well, Veganuary is over for another year. So how did it go? Have to say that it went a lot easier than last year. I was better prepared as we mostly eat vegan at home anyway and as I said in my last post I’ve gotten over my awkwardness when it comes to asking for…
It can be a dangerous business sending your other half to do some shopping. Can you pop in the supermarket on the way home and grab some mushrooms I said. No problem he said. I should have been suspicious when he was back rather later than expected. Then he produced this like a magician from…
hypha (with a small h) is a plant based restaurant that opened around 12 months ago in Chester. It’s tucked away “on the walls” so you have to know it’s there as you ain’t going to stumble across it! It describes itself as: small plates/ cocktails/fermentation. Three of us went there mid-week on a horrible,…
Yep – I can hear you all saying it now: why on earth would a vegetarian eat at a steakhouse? It was a case of lunch out with a large group of friends and I didn’t have a say in the matter. I did check out the online menu before we agreed to go to…
It’s that time of year again – freezing cold weather, a bare looking house minus the Christmas decorations and Veganuary. I had a go at Veganuary for the first time last year and learnt 3 things: most places offered a plant milk option so getting a hot drink was easy enough. BUT most places did…
Herb is a vegetarian and vegan Kerala restaurant in the centre of Leicester providing a menu of fully vegetarian and vegan meals. Our family recently went there and this is our review of the food. Jonathan I have to say that our family love eating Indian and Pakistani food, and this particular restaurant was outstanding…
I think we’ve wrote in previous posts how Chester, given its size and tourist industry, lacks places to eat as a vegetarian/vegan if you want somewhere different to the standard chains. I think we also mentioned that things are finally starting to look up. Jaunty Goat already has a very popular cafe on Bridge Street…
We were recently on a course in Manchester and decided to go out for a meal afterwards, particularly because the course was situated at a convenient location not that far from Greens. Greens Restaurant is one of the premier vegetarian restaurants in the North West, or at least likes to think it is. Furthermore, it…
