Our top plant-based eats in the South West of England
Plant.Eat.Licious (Bath)
Located in the heart of Bath, this restaurant provides an entirely vegan menu featuring options for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. Expect sharing platters, burgers, poke bowls, and salads, as well as an assortment of cookies, sweet buns, and more. Theey started out trading at our events, and we could be happier for them! They’re also dog-friendly.
Karibu Vegan Bar & Kitchen (Stroud)
Karibu is another one of our trader success stories, now a fully-fledged restaurant based in No.23 Kitchen. Expect Kenyan and Caribbean-inspired dishes (the jerk ‘steak’ is a must) plus nachos, smashed plantain and loads of love.
The Queen Inn (CWMBRAN, Wales)
South Wales is home to the world’s first fully vegan steakhouse pub. Yes, really! Expect delicious plant-based steaks along with pub classics like fish and chips, but completely vegan. If you’re in the area, perhaps attending our Chepstow Vegan Market, then we definitely recommend a visit.
How on Earth Deli (Exeter)
Vegan comfort food in the heart of Exeter, just a stone’s throw from our vegan market! From hearty pies to deli sandwiches and sweet treats, this place is perfect for a lunch stop.
Zappa’s (Totnes)
This delightful plant-based cafe is located in the heart of Totnes, next to St Mary's Church. And yes, we’re there regularly with our market too! Expect coffee, tea, sandwiches, breakfast bowls and cakes. They have a gluten-free menu and they're also dog-friendly.
If you're coming along to Totnes Vegan Market, or just visiting the area, Zappa's also has a completely vegan guesthouse above the cafe – which includes a delicious plant-based breakfast every morning.
Tam’s Kitchen (Paignton)
One of our current traders, and a real local gem. Whether you’re after a warming bowl of stew or something indulgent and fried, Tam’s Kitchen brings flavour, heart, and plenty of portions.
Vegan Filth (Cardiff)
The name says it all. This vegan junk food spot is located at Cardiff-’s student union and is all about bold, street food indulgence. Think dirty fries, stacked burgers, and filthy-good fake meats. Sometimes you just need a little vegan junk food fix!
