The Loving Hut in Brighton celebrated its 4th anniversary at the weekend and we were there!
Before the festivities got under way, some people competed in a show of strength and stamina. Who will be the last left standing?
Then there were only 2 …
And we have a winner!!!!
Then came the Lion Dance (a form of traditional dance in Chinese and other Asian countries, in which performers mimic a lion’s movements in a lion costume – so says Wikipedia.) There were 2 teams – from Brighton, in red, and from Crawley (including some of the Loving Hut staff) in white.
And of course, in spite of the fact that we are now raw most of the time, how could we not enter into the spirit of things? We had Loving Hut Burger and chips, chik’n burger and chips and Peking style with rice. Yum!
Fantastic food! Fantastic place! Fantastic people!

Oh, and as we set off for home, sadly sooner than we would have liked, we couldn’t help noticing some of the participants of the Brighton Naked Bike Ride, celebrating life in their own way. (Look away now if you’re bashful)

I recently got back from a trip to Taiwan. Before my husband and I left we looked up vegetarian/vegan restaurants in Taipei and The Loving Hut popped up in every search result. Unfortunately we didn’t get the chance to eat there (the abundance of vegan food in Taiwan was unbelievable!), but I’m excited to find out (thanks to your post) that The Loving Hut has locations all over the world!! I look forward to eating there soon!! xx

That sounds wonderful – I’m just trying to imagine being somewhere where vegan food is so commonplace. I’m glad you had such a good time there and hope it won’t be long before you get to try out the Loving Hut 🙂
