ABOUT

CLUB MEXICANA

Location: Kerb London in

Camden, London

Summary: Mexican food

with a twist

The place

In the heart of London’s music

scene, great markets and alternative

fashion there is some pretty

amazing food, and lots of it, down

at Kerb London in Camden. Club

Mexicana aren’t just serving up

standard vegan Mexican bites, they

have put their twist on it, pushing

away the preconception that all

vegan food is chickpeas and chia

seeds. T hey’ve gone more for the

meaty side of things like BBQ pulled

jackfruit and beer battered to-fi sh.

The food

Not only is everything vegan, but

nearly all the dishes are gluten-free

as well. They source ethically and

locally wherever possible. T he food

speaks for itself. We opted to try

their famous BBQ pulled jackfruit

burrito, which didn’t disappoint. The

colourful burrito was packed with

black beans, guacamole, salsa, pickles

and vegan sour cream and balanced

with fresh salad. T he BBQ jackfruit

is a must, it has soft chewy texture

that soaks up the BBQ sauce – it

is indeed heavenly. I f you’re not a

burrito fan, check out the other

great bites like the beer battered

to-fi sh with chimichurri, pickled

chilli es and sour cream, or nachos

with cheeze sauce and toppings.

These are the three main dishes

at the Camden stall, but there are

other options at different locations.

WHAT A LOVELY BUNCH!

When you spend ages cooking a delicious vegan dinner it’s always

more satisfying to present it beautifully too, and there are few

things more attractive than these coconut bowls. Made from 100%

natural, recycled and biodegradable coconut shells, they are from

an Australian company who support fair trade practices and have

workshops in Indonesia and Vietnam and plan to expand into more

countries. Although Australian, there is a warehouse in the UK, so

they’re easy to get hold of and are priced at a reasonable £9.99 for

a single bowl and £5.99 for a spoon, plus there are sets available as

well as shell candles. Check them out at eu.coconutbowls.com

TOTALLY TOMATO

We all love a dollop of ketchup on our fries, but it’s quite

concerning to know just how much sugar and salt some

brands contain! So Real Good Ketchup set out on a mission to

create a fl avoursome tomato ketchup without sugar and with

78% less salt. They’ve since won a Gold Free-From Award in

2017 and have also now launched a BBQ Smokey Ketchup

too! Available at Co-op, Wholefoods Market, selected health

food stores, Ocado and Amazon for around £2.39 for a

315g bottle, you can fi nd out more about the ketchups at
