A Business Opportunity in London for Vegan Cooks

October Cafe is sadly now closed

Are you looking for a location to sell your vegan wares in London?

Two months ago I posted a review of October Café, expressing my excitement over London having another awesome vegan business. There are plenty of vegans with small businesses out there, whether as full time caterers or part time bakers, but actually opening and running a shop is beyond their means.

Sound familiar? If you’ve got a vegan mini-business or sideline money-bringer-inner and want to expand further for practically no layout, read on! This is a fantastic opportunity for vegans looking to sell their cruelty free goodies in a fabulous location, alongside equally fabulous people. Contact Peter at info@octobercafe.co.uk if you have any questions or want more details.

October Café is changing and I think you might be interested in its new incarnation.

Over the coming weeks, we will be changing from a vegan tea shop to the UK’s first all-vegan market – “Mass Market”.  This is a new and exciting development in an excellent location to attract the vegan market and also non-vegans from the many offices in Clerkenwell/Old Street who pass by every day and who already patronise the extremely popular Whitecross Street Market nearby.

Mass Market will be a vibrant and creative space created and influenced by the stallholders.  Selling all-vegan foods from soups and sushi to chocolates and cakes and featuring music and special events, it will be a vehicle to give independent producers an opportunity to get involved in food retail and reach a wide market.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for individuals making their own foods with their own identity to trade within the market, designing their own pitch to reflect their brand.

Cost

The cost of a pitch is £450 per month paid in advance and there will be no more than seven pitches.  If you use your stall every day this equates to about £15 per day, which is more than competitive!  There is a minimum commitment of one month and at present no daily rates.  We are expecting a lot of interest and there are a limited number of pitches so please get in touch as soon as possible if you are interested.

What you get

A pitch in the indoor market approximately 5 x 3 foot, a tabletop stall, inclusion on the website, marketing and promotion, public liability cover, all rent and rates included, private refuse collection, secure storage in basement wall space of pitch to personalise your stall.  You will need to bring your own food ready-prepared and napkins, cutlery etc.

Hours

The market will be open Monday to Friday from 11am to 6pm and weekends from noon to 6pm.

To secure your place please email info@octobercafe.co.uk

  • This is laap tod, a deep fried version of a popular salad in Thailand. Laap is a sour and spicy salad made with ground meat, lots of herbs, and crunchy ground toasted rice. To make laap tod this mixture is made into meatballs and fried. As you can see, it's perfectly possible to make a vegan version. I'll be serving this, along with the items below (subject to ingredient availability but I'm not anticipating any hiccups sourcing), at my next supper club on December 6. There are still a few tickets left. Link in bio and all that.⁠

  • Khao som and jin lung (sour rice and Shan-Thai meatballs). Working on a menu for an upcoming supper club (stay tuned – likely January).⁠

  • 🇹🇭 Khao sen nam dtai are the noodles of dreams. A prevalent Tai Yai food in Mae Hong Son, these extruded rice threads are served with a pork tomato broth. Here @omnimeat is used in place of pork. Pork rinds, also easily made vegan, are common accompaniments. Another usual dish to occur alongside khao sen are papaya fritters (kang pong). A massive thank you to @napatcs mother for making us this incredible meal!⁠

  • 🇹🇭 During the vegetarian festival in Phuket there are hundreds of vendors hawking vegan grub. Most of the dishes served are either Southern or representative of favourites from regional Thai cuisines that have become uniformly appreciated and available across the country.⁠
⁠
Then there's Raan Jay (as in older sister, not the vegan diet jay) Rin (a name, I think) Aahaan Nuua (Northern food), who offers an immense spread of Northern Thai foods. I bought a selection, including nam prik noom (a relish made with grilled long green chillies) with pickled bamboo shoot, kaeng prik makua yao (long green aubergine stir fried with chilli, oil, sichuan peppercorn, galangal), kaeng ho (a Northern curry where at least one curry is stir fried with glass noodles and other bits – a great way to use leftovers), kaeng kanun (jackfruit curry – how good is it to see jackfruit without BBQ sauce?), kaeng hua plee (banana blossom curry).⁠
⁠
The only problem is there's no garlic during the jay festival and Northern food is incomplete without it.⁠
⁠
Northern Thai cuisine is, unfortunately, quite underrepresented in the Thai food repertoire outside of the North itself, and I have heard central and Southern Thais express negative opinions about the food from this region because it is so unique compared to other parts of the country.⁠

  • 🇹🇭The more I travel in Thailand the more mindful (in the sense of being informed, not full of woo) I am of deviations in regional cuisine. I snuck into my friend's makeshift kitchen at the vegetarian festival tent in Hat Yai in order to witness her in action. I had to snap this photo quickly before she emphatically pushed me back out front ("you go sell my food! Go sell!"). ⁠
⁠
This is her kaeng som, or sour curry. In the rest of Thailand, to differentiate from the central style of sour curry, this curry is referred to as kaeng luang. The word luang translates to yellow, only this is not the mild coconutty yellow curry on restaurant menus outside of Thailand. By contrast kaeng luang is redolent with fresh turmeric and chillies that set your innards alight. ⁠

  • 🇹🇭 @englishhaze and I frequently argue over what constitutes a reasonable breakfast. To him there are only a few passable menu items while I do not understand the European and American restrictions on breakfast foods. One of my favourite breakfasts are noodles in any form, but especially noodle soups and kanom jeen. This Thai extruded rice noodle is the only noodle eaten with curry and probably the only one not attributed to China Despite the word "jeen" being a reference to China or Chinese people, kanom jeen are most likely Mon Burmese in origin. 
Pictured here are kanom jeen kaeng kari gai jay (yellow curry with faux chicken) and kanom jeen kaeng tai pla jay (fermented faux fish entrails curry). The former is rich and sweet compared to the latter, which is a Southern fire bomb. There are loads of condiments served with kanom jeen. Heaps of fresh herbs and vegetables are especially common. The selection here is slightly limited, with cucumber, jackfruit, pickled mustard greens, preserved turnip, blanched morning glory, and bean sprouts.
