Vegans rejoice; the festive season is upon us and we are no longer left with dried-out nut roasts while our mates boast about their tasty turkey feasts. Why? Because London has been bloody good to us, with vegan restaurants upping their game, serving everything from meat-free Christmas dinners and vegan roasts to Christmas calzones, burgers and comfort food classics. This year we've got even more plant-based plates to choose from, so we've rounded 'em all up to create the ultimate guide to London's very best vegan Christmas menus.

The Spread Eagle
With both a festive set menu and a festive a la carte menu on the cards, renowned vegan pub The Spread Eagle has all your Christmas dinner prayers answered at its Homerton high street location. Dishes here are playfully named, spanning the deep-fried shamembert and faux gras, as well as 'beef' Wellington or mushroom stroganof.
Three courses will set you back £39, which also includes a glass of prosecco per person, with your feast rounded off with sticky toffee pudding or apple and pear crumble.
Beef, camembert and foie gras is no longer reserved for the meat-eaters at Christmas.
The Gate Restaurant
The Gate in Hammersmith are giving us a taste of the Continent this Christmas, with a two or three-course feast from £35 per person. The local favourite is championing hearty plates of three-onion tarts, plantain fritters and Christmas crumble.
However, it’s the aubergine schnitzel with roasted red peppers that’s really got us verliebt (that’s ‘in love’ in German).
Stuff your face with EU plates without needing a visa.
