Many restaurants across the UK have expanded their offerings for takeaway to take part in Veganuary this month. More and more people are participating in Veganuary, either as a continuation of their vegan diets or to eat more plant-based during January.
Whether it’s a completely plant-based menu a restaurant is serving up this month or a select few green dishes being championed, here’s some London restaurants showing up and doing their bit for Veganuary.
Green-Haus by HOME-X
From the team behind Six by Nico, Green Haus is the new, vegan version – based on their brand 24 Carrot. Aiming to be sustinable and ethical, as well as producing plant-based dishes, the recipes are all healthy and clean. Available via the HOME-X platform, Green Haus consists of an eight course sharing menu, featuring different vegan dishes to take away any January blues.
The perfect Veganuary dinner, Volume 3 includes Orzo Puttanesca with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Pesto and Cavolo Nero; Okra Pakorawith Lime Pickle, Celeriac, Boondi Chaat and Jaggery Goor Dressing; Borracho Beans with Avocado and Mint Crema, Pickled Red Onionsand Coriander; Khoresh Bademjan with Chickpeas, Turmeric, Roasted Orange, Almonds and Pomegranate Molasses; Nasi Goreng Cauliflower with Pickled Sumac Carrots, Compressed Cucumber and Toasted Sesame Seeds; Patatas a Lo Pobre, with Crispy Onions, Roasted Garlic and Green Pepper Relish; Pho Aromatic Broth with Mint, Basil, Buckwheat Noodles and Chilli Oil rounded off with a Vegan Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Icing, Cookie Dough and Roasted 100% Cocoa Nibs.

byCHLOE.
You may know byCHLOE has the go-to vegan spot in London, famed for its guac burgers and other plant-based treats. But did you know they recently launched an alternative to the popular fish and chips dish, using fried tofu. Sounds questionable, we agree, but don’t knock it ’till you’ve tried it as we were pleasantly suprised and would definitely go back for more. Friday fun is back on the menu, guys. The crispy tofu ‘fish’ comes with chips, mushy peas and a vegan tartare sauce so you’re all set this Veganuary.
Enjoy byCHLOE’s Fish and Chips for £9.
itsu
This Veganuary sees itsu launch its new vegan menu, in a bid to make half of its menu plant-based. This effort sees the relaunch of the popular Meatless Meatballs – only they’re 60 per cent bigger than before, because eating green shouldn’t mean missing out on some grub. In partnership with Meatless Farm, the new meatles meatballs come served in a heart bowl of green goodness, sitting on a bed of wholegrain brown rice and seasonal greens, drizzled with sticky teriyaki sauce and spicy ssamjang. Other plant-based items on the new vegan menu include veggie meatballs in a Thai coconut soup with miso and pumpkin seeds, as well as vegan teriyaki gyozas.

Aktar at Home’s vegan curry box showcases a range of popular vegan Indian dishes and is available for both collection and nationwide delivery. Furthermore, the menu changes fortnightly – to keep things exciting.

Vegan Dough Co.
Vegan Dough Co. is reasonably new to London but has been serving the plant-based needs of those non-meat eaters throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The DIY kits are sold on Restaurant Kits and ‘The Godfather’ is the one to get, serving you up a delicious pizza, topped with spicy vegan nduja, broccolini and green olives on top of a rich tomato sauce, beautifully melted vegan mozzarella and a soft and doughy base. Let me tell you, we’re not all vegan here at House of Coco but this pizza was up there with the greats and we even got a cheeky little ‘cheese’ pull so both our hearts and tummies were left happy after devouring this plant-based pizza.
