Lockdown-born Bad Vegan secures first site at Buck Street Market
Its menu will offer a range of vegan ‘hero’ dishes, alongside vegan shakes and unique partnership beers with the Camden Town Brewery.
Plant-based restaurant Bad Vegan has secured its first-ever site at Buck Street Market.
The concept was born from a lockdown conversation between brand creator Mark Emms and chef Tom Kerridge, who have co-founded the business.
The new food brand intends to provide a “fundamentally vegan” menu, as part of its aim to introduce more people to plant-based food. It will also offer non-vegan toppings and sides, to cater to people who want to consume more plant-based food but follow a non-vegan diet, with strict kitchen protocols in place to ensure no cross-contamination.
The restaurant has taken two of Buck Street Market’s shipping containers, covering 415 sq ft on the top floor of the food and retail destination. Set to launch in the summer, the Bad Vegan menu will offer a range of vegan ‘hero’ dishes, alongside vegan shakes and unique partnership beers with the Camden Town Brewery.
“Our principles are simple – we want to encourage people to make small changes to their diet, incorporating more plant-based food. We know that a growing number of consumers want to commit to this, but a purely vegan diet isn’t for everyone, so by adding a small amount of non-vegan elements our food retains familiarity whilst being predominantly vegan,” said Mark Emms.
