Eat Vegan · Honestly
The fresh, honest guide to eating Vegan.
The best plant-based food in the UK — and everything you eat it with — compared on the facts, not the PR. By a 40-year engineer who reads the label, not the marketing.
The best plant-based food in the UK — and everything you eat it with — compared on the facts, not the PR. By a 40-year engineer who reads the label, not the marketing.
Lined up on the facts — protein, ingredients, and whether it's actually Vegan. Pick your cut, then shop it at our partner PlantX.
THIS, Beyond, Richmond, Linda McCartney & Quorn — honestly compared on protein and ingredients.
Beyond, Moving Mountains, Linda McCartney, THIS & Heura — the patties, ranked on the data.
Bolognese, chilli, tacos — the freezer workhorse. The comparison is on the bench.
Goujons, fillets, tenders — the fast-improving one. Comparison on the bench: protein per 100 g, the oil content, and whether it shreds or turns rubbery in the pan — texture is where plant chicken wins or loses.
A banger's only half the story. The mustards, dips, chutneys and sides that make it a proper meal — all available at PlantX.
From sinus-clearing English to mellow wholegrain — matched to the right banger.
A small, honest, hand-picked list — not a directory. A handful of genuinely brilliant places worth the trip.
Indian vegetarian street food and craft beer. A proper good time.
These are our curated picks — always check opening times and the menu on the restaurant's own site before you go.
So I don't pretend my tongue is a laboratory. I read the data and call out the marketing — four checks, every product.
Off the pack, not the press release.
Protein and calories, like for like.
Vegan, or just veggie with egg in it?
Plain English, marketing stripped out.
Linda McCartney Vegetarian Sausages lead at ~18.6g per 100g, then Beyond (~16g) and THIS (~14.4g). Richmond is lowest at ~6.4g. Always check the current pack.
Some Quorn ranges contain egg white, so check the pack — Quorn make both vegetarian (with egg) and certified vegan lines. We flag which is which in the comparison.
The ratings are built on labels and numbers, not my tongue — I'm an engineer, not a chef. Where taste is mentioned, it's clearly flagged as opinion, not data.
It's a small, hand-picked list of places genuinely worth the trip — not a paid directory. If a spot's on here, we rate it.
Everything we compare — the meat, the larder, and a whole lot more — in one place. We've partnered with PlantX, the UK's largest plant-based store.
