Vegan Options a Plenty @Crussh!🍱🌯🥗

Hey guys, hope you've all had a great weekend so far! Just a short-ish one today to tell you about a great vegan friendly joint I discovered this week in London town- Crussh.

I don't think this eatery is THAT new, but I hadn't ventured in to any of their branches before now as I thought they were a smoothie place and if I'm honest I never buy smoothies as I make them for myself all the time.

---

And while smoothies and juices make up a large part of their menu, there is soo much more on offer!

---

I went in to have a look and was SUPER impressed with how many vegan options they had! The fridge was half full of plant based dishes- both hot an cold.

---

I was also happy to see that the options they had were a bit more diverse than the usual 'falafel wrap' you come to expect in most takeaway places.

---

No, this place had noodle broths, wraps, burrito boxes, sandwiches..

---

As well as chia pudding pots, energy balls, flapjacks and lots of other interesting pots of vegan goodness.

---

Most excitingly for me however was the VEGAN CHEESE TOASTIE!

---

This might not seem like the most exciting option on the menu, but for a former cheese addict, finding cheesy options on the go hasn't been very possible since going vegan. So finding a melty cheesy toastie was a sight for sore eyes!

---

I tucked into the first half like a ravenous animal! It was really good- the cheese was complimented so well by the red pepper tapenade, fire roasted red peppers and the peppery flavour of the rocket though the cheese seemed a little lacking...

---

I opened up the other half of my toastie and my jaw dropped- there was a tiny piece of cheese in it! I was so disappointed 😥

---

Now, I don't like to make a fuss- I don't think I've ever sent food back in a restaurant. But I really felt I needed to make Crussh aware of this portioning issue. I think it's so important to let vegan places know how they can improve- if people think they are being short changed (this toastie cost over £4!) then they won't return and the demand for vegan food will decrease.

---

We need keep the food industry aware that the demand is growing and that the options provided by companies need to follow suit!

---

With that in mind, I Tweeted Crussh to let them know that I was so excited to see their amazing vegan options but that I was really saddened to see what constituted a cheesy vegan toastie.

---

Well, I can't fault their customer service at all. Within 12 hours they had replied to me apologising for the lack of cheese, assuring me that the ratios would improve and offering me a £10 voucher! What an amazing company!

---

It's really nice when you feel heard as customer, and even better when they genuinely welcome the feedback!

---

I feel like often as vegans we feel obliged to just accept what we're given. But we should be confident enough to question things if we know they aren't right- that way we are not only demanding that options are available, but also ensuring that standards are met. And if other vegans enjoy it and keep coming back!
