You don’t need to be vegan to enjoy Karamel on a Sunday. This not-for-profit space, gallery and venue plays host to a varied, plant-based cuisine, a selection of local beers and a varied roster of cultural events from spoken word to jazz (you can check out what’s in store here). Being plant-based, they of course have several options for hungry herbivores. Choose from an almond wellington or veggie sausages. There’s even gluten-free options! Check out their menu here.

If you like rustic sophistication, you’ll like The Duke of Cambridge. As London’s first organic pub it has garnered a reputation for great food with an inclination towards the natural and seasonal. Their roast options (which are a part of their regular menu, if you can’t wait until Sunday) are representative of this and include a fantastic roast squash with polenta, truffle and of course, lashings of vegan gravy.

Where else to go for a sophisticated, healthy(ish) vegan Sunday lunch than Primrose Hill? Have a wander around the farmers’ market to work up your appetite and then head to Manna, a West London institution specialising in all things vegan and in the business for just over 50 years. Their vegan Sunday lunch is the stuff of legend and always threatens to run out, so get there in good time.

The Old Queen’s Head is well-known for its hit club nights, comedy and somewhat tatty Chesterfield sofas, but that’s not all there is to this spacious and friendly boozer. Their vegan Sunday roast is something of a North London legend, a mushroom wellington to make even carnivores drool. Pair your roast with a cheeky round of their excellent cocktails - we recommend the sloe gin fizz.
