Garden of Vegan
West End's resident gin joint goes vegan 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, nuts or something else, 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.
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 crispy salt and vinegar kale, plus pickled carrot, ginger &andcaraway, before moving on to stacked mezze platters. Next, mains include a trio of mushrooms with garlic and herbs, plus beetroot and mint black risotto. As for dessert, ginger cake with chocolate glaze and caramelised tamarillo.
That's just a sample of the food on offer on Thursday, February 28, when this year's Garden of Vegan evenings get started for 2019. 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.
