Abstract
Created by its catering partner Peyton and Byrne, The National Café Restaurant and Bar (National Gallery, Covent Garden) has added a number of new vegan and vegetarian dishes to its menu for customers “embracing the trend for meat free.”

The menu of small plates comprises raw and fried dishes as well as both a winter roots, and beans and pulses section. Vegans can chose from padron pepper with sea salt and romesco; pan con tomate (Spanish toast wiht tomatoes); raw kale served with rapeseed oil, cumin, pomegranate and molasses as well as sautéed chickpeas with Moorish spices and green harissa.

 

Vegetarian dishes also include: fried aubergines with orange blossom honey; goat’s curd and thyme; stuffed and fried gordal olives with orange alioli; butter bean hummus with flat breads and pickled guindilla peppers.                  

 

Oliver Peyton, creative director at Peyton and Byrne, said: “Anyone who thinks a vegan diet is boring can think again. It is a great opportunity to really explore the vast range of ingredients that is now readily available. and it is a genuine test of creativity.

 

“We cater at a number of London venues and know from experience that our vegan and vegetarian menus are also a big hit with our meat eating customers, too.

 

“That’s why we don’t just embrace veganism in Veganuary – it’s on our menus all year round.”
