Plant ‘n’ Plate vegan café, King’s Heath, Birmingham, opened in November 2020. I first became aware of it the following Autumn (which is when these photos were taken), via its being listed on the ‘Open for All’ website set up by business owners opposed to the totalitarian policy of ‘vaccine passports’. The café has a … Continue reading "Parks ‘n’ Plants"| Warwick Vegan

The shop first traded in 2013 and was started by a local woman who had grown the … Continue reading "Down to Earth"| Warwick Vegan

On getting off the bus I met someone from Kenilworth who was unfamiliar with the Park … Continue reading "Medical Freedom"| Warwick Vegan
Another book-club purchase by the look of it, this is from 1990 and at first sight looks like just another publication for a celebrity-biased readership. But it is for the most part much better than that. It states that the Living Without Cruelty Campaign including the annual exhibition in London is (was) run nationally by … Continue reading "Cruelty-Free"| Warwick Vegan
On Saturday I went into Coventry, where there was a Vegan Festival on at Fargo Village, Far Gosford Street. This is a fairly studenty area close to Coventry University, to the east of the city centre. As you can see from the photos it consisted of various traders’ stalls with one from the Vegan Society, … Continue reading "Vegan Festival"| Warwick Vegan

This was written by Jane Brophy, its dietitian at the time and opens with a … Continue reading "Genetic Engineering"| Warwick Vegan
