GREAT FOR ALL

Great place to shop, they sell lots of vegan products including dairy free cheese and chocolate. This place is also great for allergy suffers such as those who are lactose intolerant, soy allergy etc.
The staff are very helpful and friendly and are always happy to help you, great customer service is a must for me.
The shop is local to Newcastle and 2 mins away from palmville metro station, they do taster days so you can taste the goods they sell, sosmix pie I recommend yum !
This shop also delivers all over the uk, plus other countries which is great if you cant get to the shop.

Pros: excellent choice of food, great staff, great footwear

Cons: need more of them all over the UK

Vegan Paradise

Quite simply, the only vegan shop in Newcastle. You will find everything you could possibly want including cheeses, desserts, chocolate, vitamins, snacks, frys, v-bites, meats, laundry liquid and shoes to name just a few. Located near to Palmersville Metro it is definitely worth the trek and you won't be disappointed. Alternatively, you can always order online too.

Pros: Choice, 100% Vegan, Lovely helpful Staff

Vegan Warehouse

Quite hard to find if you don't know the area but if you come into the trading estate look immediate left and you'll see it beyond the metal fence. They sell everything vegan you could possibly imagine. There are fridges and freezers full of cheeses, salamis, tofu and seitan based 'meats', and don't forget marshmallows. My particular favourite is the Vegusto cheese range which is definitely the best vegan cheese I have ever tasted to date. At £4.99 a pack it ain't cheap but it's worth it. As well as savoury foodstuffs you'll find a huge range of confectionery and household and cleaning products. If you fancy a drive to check it out I can't imagine it being a wasted trip. Otherwise, they also do everything online.

Pros: great stock, unusual items , some bargain items

Cons: hard to find, some items are pricey

Hi hack_man. Thank you for your kind review! We now stock a huge variety of different vegan ceases including a large range of 'Violife' from blocks to slices to cream variety and the whole 'Tyne Chease' range - one of our most popular cheases which is a raw chease made locally and available in blocks or creamed variety.

We are also looking to open a premise in Newcastle City Centre in the not so distant future! Keep an eye on our website which we are also currently redesigning and rebranding and please sign up for our newsletter so we can update you on any new developments!

A Vegan Shop in Newcastle

Very pleased to find this store. Everything is vegan. A massive selection of chilled and frozen foods along with tons of food and grocery, sweets, chocolates, baking goods, health foods, Suma foods, etc etc
The staff are really good too, they ordered in a few things in for me that they don't normally stock, plus they took the effort to drop them off to me a few days later.
I was also pleased with the advice on vitamins, supplements etc, especially on b12 and probiotics.

Pros: Massive range of vegan foods, Great staff, Best chilled and frozen range ever

Cons: none

Vegan Heaven

This is a great place for vegan shopping in Newcastle as they have so much stuff.
I was really pleased to see Potoveg Sosmix on sale and its the origanal stuff too, plus they do a great vegan burger mix.
The staff are so friendly and have even opened up after hous for us a few times.
Beware of the range of real vegan cheeses as they are so addictive.

Pros: range of organic prepacked nuts and seeds, expert staff very friendly and vegan, original protoveg sosmix sausage mix
