Best vegan restaurants in Croydon
4 venues in Croydon rated S to B for vegan, every tier backed by cited sources.
Soul Vegan UK is a 100% vegan restaurant — every dish on the menu is plant-based, from the BBQ Kalebone (house-made seitan) and Mac & Cheese to the cornbread and desserts. The kitchen is fully vegan, so there's no risk of animal products. Multiple independent sources confirm the entire offering is vegan, and the HappyCow listing and Deliveroo menu both label every item as Vegan. This is a strongly trusted setup, though no formal Vegan Society Trademark accreditation was found.
The Vegan Grill is a fully vegan junk food stall and later a cafe in Croydon (now closed). All savoury menu items — burgers, hot dogs, toasties, chips — are entirely plant-based. Some cakes were noted as not vegan by one reviewer, so desserts warrant a question. The owners and staff were described as passionate about veganism, and the menu was built around vegan comfort food. No non-vegan ingredients were used in the main savoury range, making it strongly trusted for vegan eaters, though the mixed feedback on cakes means checking dessert ingredients is wise.
Honest caveat, One reviewer noted that some cakes on display were not vegan; confirm dessert status before ordering.
Fully vegan fast-food outlet inside Boxpark Croydon, serving plant-based burgers, chicken alternatives, loaded fries, and desserts. The menu is entirely vegan, so no animal products are used in any dish. Staff are described as friendly and knowledgeable about the food. Shared seating area with other Boxpark vendors but the kitchen is dedicated to vegan food.
The restaurant is named Carib Vegan and explicitly listed as a vegan and vegetarian-friendly venue. A single Google review confirms a dinner visit. The name and category listings strongly indicate the entire menu is vegan, but no source details kitchen structure, dedicated equipment, or staff training for cross-contamination. It is reasonable to trust the venue for vegan diners, though a call to confirm dedicated fryers or separate prep areas is wise before visiting for strict ethical vegans concerned about trace non-vegan ingredients.
