With National Vegetarian Week running from October 1st-7th, we thought we’d round up a few of our favourite Brighton Veggie spots – great for veggies and those who fancy trying something new!
Brighton is known for being a Mecca for Vegans & Vegetarians – so much so, our seaside city has in fact been named the country’s Vegetarian capital. And with a plethora of vegetarian – and vegan – restaurants, cafes and delis, across the city; we can certainly see why.
WHAT THE PITTA
Serving a delicious variety of vegan doner, gyro, sides and desserts. The ideal spot for a filling, hearty vegan meal. You won’t leave hungry!

OOWEE VEGAN
A newer addition to the Brighton vegan scene! Handmade, carefully sourced and ridiculously tasty. Burgers, loaded fries, chick’n tenders and shakes.
‘All our Chick’n is handmade using our very own secret recipe, our hero sauces are freshly made each day by our team of chefs and our buns are made to order daily by a local baker. It takes more effort, but that’s what we believe it takes to be the best at what we do.’
