🪩 Join us for a fabulously fun night at Karamel Club, where we'll take over the entire venue - you can socialise in the restaurant area over food and drinks, or dance the night away if you're up for some groovy beats! (There will always be a seating area dedicated to quieter conversations.)

THE FOOD

🍔🍕 Karamel's menu varies every time! (It's announced on a blackboard.) Burgers and pizzas are usually on offer, often alongside a special of the day, like an Indian thali or a stir fry inspired by East Asian cuisines; plus of course a number of delicious sides and desserts.

🍝🇮🇹 For this Mixer, there will be a special Italian option thanks to Adriana, vegan food blogger @avegtastefromatoz. This "Ithalian" (as surely that's what Italian food served on a thali platter ought to be called 🙈) combination will include an antipasti spread, a main and a side.

THE MUSIC

🎸🦙 As background for the first part of the night: instrumental live music played by Mixer regular Alfie Paca.

💃🕺 Deejay set curated by DJÄK (@djakfruit) from 9pm: an eclectic mix of dance music across a broad spectrum including house, rap, pop, drum and bass, dubstep, r'n'b and more.

ATTENDING

🎟️🌱 Entry to the event is totally free, but please do support the venue by buying some of their delicious food and drinks (both 100% vegan!).

🫶🤗 All are welcome, and we strive to make the event a safe and inclusive space for everyone - no discriminatory or abusive behaviour of any kind will be tolerated.

THE VENUE

Karamel is a very short walk from Wood Green Tube station (Piccadilly Line). The entrance to the venue is step-free and there is a wheelchair-accessible toilet. Karamel is dog-friendly, so feel free to bring your furry friends if they'll enjoy it.

Originally founded and run by vegan activists, today it’s operated by Collage Arts (a charity supporting the local community) and managed by the lovely Kath who, together with her charming husband Roger, also prepares the delicious homemade food served there… in very generous portions ;) and not forgetting the fairly affordable prices!

For well over a decade now, Karamel has been at the heart of London’s vegan community, helping it reach its current size - for example:

• giving a new home to London Vegan Drinks (a London Vegan Meetup event and Europe’s largest vegan social gathering at the time!) when it outgrew its preceding venues
• providing a welcoming environment for LGBTQ+ vegans (inclusivity and safeguarding having always been a central tenet of theirs) with Fat Gay Vegan's Queer Vegan Disco
• throwing official or de facto afterparties for many Animal Rights marches and protests

Nowadays, they host not only another London Vegan Meetup event, the regular Geekstraveganza (as they’ve done since its inception in 2016), but also a lot of other wonderful events for both the local area and the wider London vegan community.
