Garden of Vegan
West End's resident gin joint goes vegan — and gluten-free, and coeliac-friendly — for a decadent feast.
Overview
If the words 'sharing feast' usually send you running, we bet we know why: you don't eat meat, animal products, gluten or wheat, and trying to make sure you can actually enjoy the food is frequently harder than it should be. Once a month, vegans can put those fears aside at Covent Garden, with the West End gin joint serving up a vegan feasting evening. In June, however, it'll also be doubling as a gluten-free, coeliac-friendly meal as well.
Spread over two sessions — 6–7.30pm and 7–8.30pm — the plant and floral wallpaper-filled hangout's Garden of Vegan will dish up four courses of vegetable-heavy dishes. It all starts with sweet potato fondant in an orange glaze, before moving on to stacked mezze platters. Next, there's roasted tomato stuffed with mushrooms and basil, jacket potatoes with truffle olive, sautéed brussel sprouts and braised. As for dessert, that's when the apple crumble with coconut gel arrives.
That's just a sample of the food on offer on Thursday, June 6, so arrive hungry. Bookings are open for tables of two at $74 per couple — and the event regularly sells out, so reserving early is recommended. There'll also be Garden of Vegan cocktails available, though they'll cost you extra.
