London is home to a number of vegan businesses, many of which still offer takeout services.
Pubs, bars, and restaurants may be closed across the UK for now, but that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on your favorite foods while you’re staying at home and social distancing. London is home to a number of vegan restaurants and cafes that offer takeaway services.
Choose from burgers, kebabs, pizzas, salads, or even doughnuts. Whatever you fancy, it’s likely there’s somewhere in the UK capital that can help you out with your cravings. Can’t decide what to order? Here are 11 of the best vegan takeaways in London to help you choose.
What The Pitta—which has locations in Shoreditch, Camden, and Croydon—specializes in dōner kebabs. But instead of traditional lamb, its dishes include soya pieces instead. Not a kebab person? Try its Dōner Chip Box, Vegan Gyros, or Meze Box. The latter features couscous topped with salad, hummus, soya pieces, or falafel. Order on Deliveroo or Uber Eats.
The brand says, “we believe that going meat-free more often, using plant-based alternatives, can have a huge benefit on your health and the planet.” It adds, “and who doesn’t enjoy a kebab?”
