After a year where veganism and plant-based cooking has truly crossed over, Knaves Kitchen says it is excited to end the year with a Christmas cracker of a vegan menu.

Head chef Sam Thomas said: “All the tinsel, trees and brandy-soaked puddings in the world couldn’t come close to getting me as excited for the festive season as this menu. It’s got it all, spicy deep seasonal punch, wild ingredients and enough cheesy crass pomp to fill a French fromagerie four times over.”
