#9 Eating Out and Away: Glastonbury – Did You Tick My Boxes? AUDIO

In this episode Rachel reviews her time staying in Glastonbury town centre and how easy (or not) it was to stick to being a keto vegan.  She stayed in the ‘summer’ of July 2023 for just two nights but gives you a brief review of a number of different cafés in Glastonbury town centre and whether they provided the food she wanted.

 

Key Takeaways

• Rachel stayed at The Who’d A Thought It on Northload Street, very close to the town centre which had some great options for vegans, a lovely beer garden and great staff.
• Rachel didn’t manage to eat in Heaphy’s because, unfortunately, on the day she tried, the chef was unwell, but she does go through their vegan options, of which there are plenty. Their Buddha bowls looked scrumptious but need to be adapted if you are sticking to keto.
• The Mocha Berry is where Rachel did end up having breakfast but there were no vegan options so she stuck to extra mushrooms, extra tomatoes, a veggie sausage (that she hoped was vegan) and a back coffee. They didn’t even have a plant-based milk option - thank god she likes black coffee!
• The Crown Hotel, on the High Street, had lots of different breakfast options. The Vegan option had a number of items that were high in carbs but did include scrambled tofu, roasted cherry tomatoes, portobello mushroom and kale, all of which would have been keto.
• The Rainbow’s End Café and The Pyramid Café were solely vegan cafés. Rachel managed to get a coffee from the Pyramid and sit in their lovely outside spot but was unable to get to the Rainbow’s End Café despite everyone recommending it to her because it was shut on a Wednesday!

 

Best Moments

• “I was really hopeful it was going to be the place to be”
• “If you’re on holiday, sometimes, sometimes we have to be flexible.”
• “Something about Burgers in Glastonbury.” “… Bean Burger - such a shame that they’re not doing something like Beyond Burgers.  I love a Beyond Burger.”
• “…with their avocado and toast… it’s topped with smashed avocado with lime, chilli and black pepper and that sounds really nice, that’s my kind of thing.”
• “May be that sausage wasn’t vegan – but I’m hoping!!”
• “I didn’t even get a chance to try the vegan café. How frustrating was that?!!”
