:( I hope the vicitm pulls through.

I can only imagine they were planning to take them to a hospital other than King's College? I can't believe a 'road' ambulance would take that much more time- if any at all- to deliver the wounded to King's than having to wait for the air ambulance to fly in and land.

I was wondering about that. But it's not as if it's the first time. Maybe they have to do it when there aren't enough road ambulances. Sometimes the delay is very long.
 
Where do Brixtonites buy affordable organic meat??? Prices in M&S and Tesco seem ridiculous, but maybe they're typical? Is there still a farmers' market on Brixton Station Road? If so, what does a whole organic chicken cost?

I'm going to check out the Food Assembly. It's a French idea which arrived in Brixton five weeks ago. It's basically a farmers' market for people who can't get to a farmers' market. You go to thefoodassembly.com, order meat/fish/veg/fruit/bread/beer/etc from a bunch of producers near London, and the whole lot is put in a box which you collect on Tuesdays from 5.30 to 7.30 at the box park. I've just had a snoop though other people's boxes and it all looks delicious. Haven't researched the prices yet though.

A decent butcher, organic or not, would be good. Still, at least I'm eating less meat.

Boarstall meats at the station road market on a Sunday lunchtime. Hugely expensive to start but prices drop as day goes on. Get a snack locally or sit in craft and watch prices drop, then dive in as he starts to pack up normally 1:00-1:30.

It's free range not organic. Good quality though and there are always deals. It's not expensive for free range meat. A whole chicken will set you back £8-10. Organic meat is a lot more expensive - £15 maybe for a chicken.
 
So the Veg bar has changed into something called Uno Organic and next door is a Veg Bar Express takeaway.

Not sure if they are opened yet though I'm more intrigued by the new Morley's that is going to be doing breakfast. What's in a Morley's breakfast?

They opened and then closed again by the looks of things. Apart from suspiciously enthusiastic reviews, the verdict doesn't look good. Shame really.

Oh boy...where do I even begin. So I booked Veg Bar on the advice of a friend who had heard about it. Someone that is very much into Vegan food and a avid foody, so I decided that this could be a great place to meet up with some friends. I booked a table via Opentable table and received the standard confirmation it had been booked (reference number as well). The evening of the supposed meal and the place was closed! Not only that, it looked like it hadn't been opened in months. At first, I thought I'd made a mistake on either the date or time. I double checked and nope I was right, so I decided to call to find out what had happened. Nothing, it rang out then went to voicemail. Not even a company one just a standard one from BT. To say the least I am very disappointed in Veg Bar, not only were they not open, they have yet to provide any reasons as to why they would accept a booking only to not fulfill it. This is not what I would expect from a restaurant that has received rave reviews on Opentable. I think someone has been accepting bribes to give Veg Bar the stars! I cannot honestly recommend Veg Bar to anyone if this is my experience of their service. I won't be wasting petrol or my Oyster card to visit this spot again. Book at your own peril, but I say have a Plan B.

Why the hell is it so hard to get a decent veggie place going in Brixton?! :mad:

I've been to two different Mildreds restaurants in the last few weeks and each time they were packed out - had to wait nearly an hour to get seated at the last one. And I reckon that Brixton's trendy hipster brigade would burst out of their skinny jeans with excitement if such a place opened here.

Mildreds are even opening a new branch in Dalston! We're better than frigging Dalston!! When are they opening here?!? :mad:

It's all fucking meat and Meat Liquor, factory farmed chickens and endless endless endless fucking 'premium' burgers, some pointlessly drizzled in gravy or other such desperate gimmicks to justify the massive price. At least shitty Dirty Burger was a flop.

The rebranded restaurant only seems to have opened on 21 May. Looks very like it is Veg bar under a new name and a new Facebook page; though they could hardly have used the old one with all the negative comments about not paying staff wages.

I've found their new FB page
Uno Organic London

Not totally convinced by the one rave review but here's their menu which is not even slightly vegan

I do wonder what happened to veggie food. Did try Mildreds last month but wait was to long. I get veggie food from Iceland. They have one of there freezers with veggie options and it's cheap ( and good imo).

I do eat meat but only occasionally. Meat production is not that ecological. It requires a lot of the earths resources. But veggie food isn't that widespread. I wonder why.
