Have you watched "the game changers" Michael? I haven't yet but its supposed to be really good, I imagine it's right up your street.

Hi Matt. I've not seen it yet but I've seen reports about it. I suppose I come more from the animal welfare, then ecological than the health and fitness angle. Just need more veggie/vegan restaurants in Putney - ok, let's be honest there's only line pop up at the moment!

I’d love to see a vegetarian restaurant in Putney, but not one that is just for vegans.  One of my favourite restaurants in London was Cranks and it was a sad day when they closed.

Martine Guy ● 2564d

I agree Martine. Cranks was a great place.

Yes, Cranks. That's a blast from the past. Some of the chain restaurants in Putney now have good veggie/vegan options. Pizza Express and Wagamama have always been good and we had a tasty vegan lunch in Carluccio's on Sunday. Ma Goa and Kashmir retaurants have always been very knowledgeable and accommodating with providing veggie/vegan options, and there's a Lebanese place on the Lower Richmond Road (sorry can't remember the name) which was very good as well, as is Yum Sa, East Putney, which at the moment is also hosting the Tendril lunch time vegan pop up.

In 1977-ish, I went to Covent Garden to eat at "Food for Thought". When we got there the queue for the restaurant led some way down the street. Being hungry as of that moment I said '"@@@@" this for a game of soldiers! - I don't join a long queue to eat!' So off we went and found a good restaurant in the Africa Centre, where we had a meal. It was vegetarian and original.

Yes, David, that reminds me of my days working in Kingsway in 1970-80s. It's now moved to Southward.

Yes, I remember Cranks when I lived in Edgware Road and was nearly converted to becoming a veggie.There again good sense prevailed when opposite was the Angus Steak house and it seemed to me that if meat was so awful why did God make it taste so delicious...I mean celery...! :)

Indian cooking has always included delicious vegetarian dishes.
