🪩 Join us for a fabulously fun night at Karamel Club, where we'll take over the entire venue - socialise in the restaurant area over food and drinks, showcase your hidden talent with a mic, or dance the night away if you're up for some groovy beats!
(There will always be a seating area dedicated to quieter conversations.)

THE FOOD
🍔🍕 Karamel's menu varies every time! (It's announced on a blackboard.)
Culinary legends Kath & Roger and Adriana, vegan food blogger (@avegtastefromatoz), have concocted a special selection of tasty dishes for this event:

• Crespelle ricotta e spinaci, an authentic Italian delicacy (savoury thin pancakes stuffed with vegan ricotta cheese and spinach) served with roasted potatoes and mixed salad
• Korean meatballs in gochujang sauce with rice and pickled red cabbage
• Caribbean thali: jerk stew, doubles, rice and peas, rainbow coleslaw and fried plantain

The usual staples will be on offer as well: burgers, pizzas, and a variety of delicious sides and desserts.

THE DRINKS
🍻🍹Beer on tap, wine by the glass, and a selection of cocktails and mocktails: Karamel's fully vegan bar has something for every taste.

THE MUSIC
🎸🦙 As background for the first part of the night: instrumental live music played by Mixer regular Alfie Paca.

👩‍🎤👨‍🎤 Later on we will feature karaoke hosted by KaraoChris: sign up to jump on stage and sing your heart out!

💃🕺 Dance away the rest of the night to a selection of your favourite tunes: add your requests to our playlist and they will be shuffled into the mix.

ATTENDING
🎟️🌱 Entry to the event is totally free, but please do support the venue by buying some of their delicious food and drinks (both 100% vegan!).

🫶🤗 All are welcome, and we strive to make the event a safe and inclusive space for everyone - no discriminatory or abusive behaviour of any kind will be tolerated.

THE VENUE
Karamel is a very short walk from Wood Green Tube station (Piccadilly Line). The entrance to the venue is step-free and there is a wheelchair-accessible toilet. Karamel is dog-friendly, so feel free to bring your furry friends if they'll enjoy it.

Originally founded and run by vegan activists, today it’s operated by Collage Arts (a charity supporting the local community) and managed by the lovely Kath who, together with her charming husband Roger, also prepares the delicious homemade food served there… in very generous portions ;) and not forgetting the fairly affordable prices!

For well over a decade now, Karamel has been at the heart of London’s vegan community, helping it reach its current size - for example:

• giving a new home to London Vegan Drinks (Europe’s largest vegan social gathering at the time!) when it outgrew its preceding venues
• providing a welcoming environment for LGBTQ+ vegans (inclusivity and safeguarding having always been a central tenet of theirs) with Fat Gay Vegan's Queer Vegan Disco
• throwing official or de facto afterparties for many Animal Rights marches and protests

Nowadays, they host our sister event, the regular board game event Geekstraveganza (as they’ve done since its inception in 2016), and a lot of other wonderful events for the local area and the wider London vegan community.

THE EVENT
🎲 A lazy late morning and early afternoon playing board/card games - as usual, we will have a selection of our favourites, and you're welcome to bring any you want to play. We're always happy to teach rules to newcomers, and the hosts can introduce you to other attendees if you like.

ATTENDING
🤓 Everyone is welcome, no matter their level of “geekiness” - quick & easy games will be on offer as well as more complex ones. Feel free to join us at any time, new games will start as people arrive. (And you can leave at any time as well, although we hope you’ll have fun and want to stay until the end!)

♟️ Once inside the venue, head to the main seating area upstairs and you can't miss us. Look for the hosts if you want to be introduced to the group or would like a suggestion for which games to play.

THE VENUE
🍔 The Veg Box Cafe has 100% vegan kitchen and bar. They're hosting us for free so make sure to buy some of their delicious food and refreshing drinks to show your support.

🚉 The closest Tube stations are Baker Street (1 min walk) or Marylebone station (3 min walk).
