The Most Virtuous Pub

The Spread Eagle

Pubs are notorious for derailing all food and drink-based resolutions. Not only are they full of booze, naturally, but their food tends to the meaty, fried, and the fried and meaty. So the Spread Eagle, in Homerton, is a pioneer: London’s first 100% vegan pub, with plantbased, nutrient-packed takes on pub classics. Begin with mini ‘squashage’ roll and mushrooms on toast before a Beyond Meat burger or some Korean fried chicken-of-thewoods mushroom, served with fiery gochujang. There’s no guarantee you’ll drink less, but it’s a healthy start.
