As a vegan business myself, I wanted to highlight other amazing businesses in our area that are vegan too. So from Middlesbrough, Durham and surrounding areas here are five recommendations of vegan owned businesses for you to explore.
Quite a big name in Middlesbrough now, after the recent launch of the new season of Come Dine With Me with V-EDGE taking the cake! V-EDGE is the best place to be for vegan food with an edge. If you are looking for delicious food with an alternative style restaurant V-EDGE is your place. But seriously, have you checked out their toilets? Everyone is talking about their toilets! The coolest place, truly! You can check V-EDGE out here: https://www.v-edge.co.uk/
On the other end of the scale for delicious vegan cuisine we have Alkaline Kitchen, healthy vegan whole food based restaurant in the heart of Middlesbrough using the freshest finest ingredients for colourful tasty food. You can check out Alkaline Kitchen here: https://www.alkalinekitchen.co.uk/
I can't recommend Sundays without an honourable mention to where it all began with Maple&Dough, Teesside's tastiest cookies that just so happen to be vegan too! What started with just cookies has blossomed into a whole empire with Sophie now launching her second Sundays establishment in Norton (much closer to home for me, thank god!). At Sundays you can expect gorgeous tasty Instragammable food that will fill up your camera roll! You can check out Sunday Coffee And Kitchen here: https://www.instagram.com/sundaycoffeeandkitchen/?hl=en
With the closure of Sugarnoms premises, I was extremely happy to hear that their online store was definitely staying open! It has quite never been as easy to find vegan chocolate, sweets and goodies than now because of Sugarnoms. Kay also offers tasty graze boxes, baked goods, afternoon tea and pick & mix's, and you can quite often find Kay at local stall events. You can check out Sugarnoms here: https://sugarnoms.co.uk/
If you are looking for high quality gorgeous vegan nails this is your place to go: https://www.facebook.com/thebeautybeesedgefield/. Everytime I see these gorgeous nails pop up on my socials I get serious nail envy and I know you will too! It can be extremely hard to find beauty services from a vegan provider, because its become so trendy to have vegan supplies, its hard to know who to trust will take your veganism seriously, and thankfully with The Beauty Bee Sedgefield just round the corner, its never been easier to get our pretty nail fix than now.
I might as well give myself an honourable mention right at the end. As a vegan myself, I always love to support other vegans with their small businesses as I know how much truly goes on behind the scenes! I am a Skin Health Specialist with skin services and facials in Middlesbrough, helping you to unwind, relax, transform your skin, whilst having a luxury feel good experience. There's nothing quite like a Skin Health Facial, you can read all about my services here: https://www.tabithaisobel.com/
I would love to see more vegan owned businesses come to our area, and perhaps there's more that I am just not aware of yet, if there is please make sure to let me know, as I always love finding new businesses to support!
