The Rainbow skull in Maidstone. If you like artizan vegan burgers to die for. Then there is the Retreat Animal sanctury and cafe, not open till March, but a free look around at all the rescue animals, a visit to their charity shop, and a visit to their vegan cafe, lovely staff, and open all summer, till end of Nov. Pizza express, zizzi, wagamamas, most indian resturants, Toby cavery, Brewers fayre, and Harvester, and most places have a vegan friendly option or two.

Oooh, Woodies sounds like a perfect addition to this round up, Helen. Thank you so much for the suggestion! We will pop it in here&#8230; xAli

Woodies in Paddock Wood is also a new addition to the scene and is fab!

Thanks for this Hilary &#8211; we have removed that one. Also if anyone has any worthy suggestions of venues near them that they&#8217;d like to add in &#8211; let us know! xA

Hi. The Monument in Canterbury went out of business just before the pandemic. It has recently reopened but is no longer a vegan pub

Family-run Goupie have been selling vegan products for years but their latest venture is the Goupie Chocolate House in Tunbridge Wells. It&#8217;s a wonderful, cosy cafe where everything is vegan. There&#8217;s no dairy, eggs or animal products on their premises and all their hot drinks are made with oat milk as a standard but they do have soy, almond, coconut or hazelnut as well! They have an amazing range of hot chocolates, our favourite is the 55% Chocolate with Orange Natural Flavour, thanks us later! Plus pastries and desserts like Eton Mess and Sticky Toffee Pudding.
