North Brewing Co. and Leeds Indie Food join forces for Vegan North

Deanna Thomas 12 July 2018

Expect animal free beer and wine, plant based cakes and not so dirty doners

The vegan food and drink offering was so popular during the fourth annual Leeds Indie Food festival this May, that organisers have decided to host the first ever Vegan North.

#EatNorth, the weekly food fair held at North Brewing Co every Saturday for eighteen weeks over the summer, will be hosting an exclusively meat-free line-up on Saturday 14th July. It’ll feature all manner of plant-based alchemy including vegan junk food and award winning vegan beer on tap.

Eat North’s first ever exclusively-vegan line-up will involve eight street food traders, offering a range of imaginative plant-based dishes, comforting vegan junk food and sweet vegan cakes. The event will even see one or two regular traders showcasing some fully-vegan offerings for the first time.

Here’s the full line up of street food traders:

Doner Summer – seitan, vegan Berlin döners with pickles, fresh herbs, garlic mayo and hot sauce wrapped up in a traditional döner flatbread.

Fat Annie’s (goes vegan) – vegan versions of their New York-inspired hot dogs.

Knave’s Kitchen – 100% vegan junk food, including seitan fish finger wraps, crispy satay tofu and onion bhaji burgers.

That Old Chestnut – delicious vegan cakes and loaves.

The Allotment – veggie wraps and halloumi fries.

Little Bao Boy (goes vegan) – steamed bao buns with vegan fillings.

MorMor – healthy street food inspired by dishes from the Middle East and the Mediterranean.

Rabbit Hole Coffee – coffee and espresso martinis

To wash it all down, there’ll be award-winning vegan beers on tap, courtesy of North Brewing Co., as well as a range of vegan wines and soft drinks.

Guests can also expect outdoor games such as badminton and corn hole, along with outdoor/indoor seating, DJs, a live band, the chance to have your portrait drawn by the incredible illustrator, Molly Pukes, and a stall by Leeds-based, small batch producer, Just Mylk, offering the chance to buy and try a selection of their organic, homemade nut milks.

Eat North continues every Saturday from midday until late, throughout the summer until 25 August, with the next #VegNorth on 11 August and a Bank Holiday special on 25 August – future line-ups TBA.
