Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Crocus Cafe evening mealThe Crocus Cafe, Nottingham
Let's visit the Crocus Cafe for its all-vegan weekend evening menu. It has a different regional cuisine theme each week, which they decide on the Tuesday so we won't know what it is till then. The menu is based on 'small plates' each of which costs £5 to £7. You can have a decent meal with two plates or go for more, perhaps sharing with others. They also have desserts and lots of types of drinks: hot, soft, alcoholic, smoothies etc. Last orders are at 9pm and closing time at 10.
The cafe is a community one, based on volunteer labour, but subsidised and with a professional chef who creates imaginative vegan versions of traditional dishes. You can find out more on the website, Facebook page, Instagram or Twitter. Since we will be putting in orders together on one menu sheet per table it will be important to identify who's ordering and paying for what.
Space is limited so please only RSVP if you know you can make it, and change it if you can no longer do so. No-shows will be marked as such.
- Pub meal - Golden FleeceThe Golden Fleece, Nottingham
The next pub to try for vegan grub is the Golden Fleece, which went fully vegan last year and has since been taken over by its new food providers, the Prickly Pear people. Their new menu is now up (see in Photos below), they say it has "the BEST of our classics and an exciting selection of new fresh FULLY VEGAN goodness". Let's try it out. Incidentally all the drinks are vegan too!
I'm picking the Tuesday because it seems one of the quieter days of the week.
I'll be looking for somewhere to try in June... I have some ideas but let me know if you know any decent local pubs or restaurants with a decent vegan and vegetarian menu.
- NAE Community CafeNew Art Exchange, Nottingham
The New Art Exchange gallery in Hyson Green has a cafe that's 100% vegan, and on the first and third Thursdays of each month they do a Community Cafe from 5 till 7, where they make a two-course meal (main + dessert) from food provided to them by Fareshare. There is no formal charge but you are invited to make a donation of how much you think it's worth, or how much you can afford.
Rather than gourmet cooking it's an opportunity for people to meet, chat and get to know each other, while the gallery and cafe hope to attract more interest. It's wheelchair accessible and children are welcome. Seconds are allowed if there is any left but only from 6:30 to allow more people to have firsts. For more information see the website or the Facebook page.
Space can be at a premium so please only RSVP if you know you can come, and change it if you can't make it after all. No-shows will be marked as such.
