About ScouseVeg

ScouseVeg is a social and campaigning group for vegetarians and vegans in and around Liverpool, Merseyside and the Wirral. We hold regular meetings – pub evenings, meals out, parties, pot luck suppers and other activities and events. The group is open to everyone – all ages, singles, couples, and families. So, something for everyone, and everyone is welcome!

The ScouseVeggies at the Egg Cafe

We have a monthly group meal at the Egg vegetarian cafe. Despite the name, the cafe has a good choice for vegans too! These meetings start at 8pm on the first Friday of each month, (eg. 6th August 2004, 3rd September 2004, 1st October 2004, 5th November 2004, etc.) However, please contact us in advance in case of any last minute changes.

Our email list is open to all veggies/vegans in and around Liverpool. It is a friendly place to chat, swap news and advice, and make contact with some other local veggies. News of all the group meetings is also sent to the email list. It is a low volume list, so you are not snowed under with too many emails from it; however, a daily digest option is available if you wish, or you can read the messages on the web.

If you are a veggie, vegan, or are leaning that way, and live or work around Liverpool then you are cordially invited to join us. The easiest way to do this is by joining the email group. This is extremely simple to do, and completely free. And, it is even easier to unsubscribe at any point in the future if you so wish. So, join the list and you are then free to post, or to just lurk and read!

Kind regards,
Jane and Niki O’Leary

Postscript: We’ve been asked quite a few times about who designs and looks after the ScouseVeg website. The person who does this is a British Expat living in the USA. If you want any online work doing then give Webbie a shout !

Hi Niki, seems everyone found your curry finger licking good, You certainly ‘converted’ me.
For a good variety on Vegan food and sweets you may want to visit the Hare Krsna kitchens. They don’t use pungents (but still manage to add flavour) and they do use milk (which I know you don’t ‘approve’ of, but they offer a wide and diverse variety of tasty and great looking Vegan dishes. Enjoy!

Yes I remember the Armadillo – steamy and warm in the winter with huge wooden tables – used to hang out there and at the Cafe Tabac which had some nice veggie food too and a beautiful guy to take orders. I left Liverpool in 1984 – remember “food for thought” on Hardman Street – stocked vegetarian things and had a printing press downstairs but that closed down before I left – Everyman was good for vegetarian food too.

Greendays isn’t a veggie cafe – they sell fish.
