Cutting out certain food groups for environmental, dietary and moral reasons is becoming more and more of a norm. Dairy free menus, albeit highly sought after, are difficult to come by, and even happening to stumble across one, displays a… limited selection of choices. Here at DesignMyNight, we want everyone to feel included in the brilliance of a good dining experience, so we’ve taken it upon ourselves to find some of the coolest dairy-free places to eat in London.
Please note: some restaurants, cafes and other venues are not fully dairy-free and will handle dairy products in their kitchens. For information on potential cross-contamination due to severe allergies, please check with venues direct and with staff on arrival.
Top Spots For Dairy-Free Dining In London
This is a special one. The Spread Eagle was the first traditionally British pub to bring a fully vegan and dairy free menu to its tables. Marrying quintessential Britishness with progressive sustainability is a rare find, but one that lies on Homerton High Street in London.
Focussing their attention on minimising waste, and sourcing plant-based ingredients for all food and beverages, this is truly a haven for anyone seeking a classic pub night out, who mostly finds limitations as a result dairy free requirements. The Spread Eagle prides itself on bringing two opposites together and lacing them in an affordable and comforting way that doesn’t lose the conventionality of everyone’s favourite pub night.
The Fields Beneath
- Vegan cafe serving dairy-free pastries, sandwiches, cakes and more
- 52a Prince of Wales Rd, Kentish Town NW5 3LN

Five years ago, The Fields Beneath decided to make their menu entirely vegan, meaning dairy-free is a guarantee. Since then this café, that sits in the heart of Kentish Town, has been attracting customers with a wide variety of dietary requirements, as a result of their organically produced and sourced wine, coffee and ingredients for every one of their plant-based dishes.
