Tasty vegan 🌱 junk food in Hackney Wick - Edit
Went after going to the cinema in Westfield. You order at the table and they bring the food out as there are various containers with kitchens tucked away in the warehouse nearby, tidy concept.

Absolutely delicious! - Edit
Hogless Roast is part of a food court in the Colour Factory. There was no access to indoor seating when we went but I’m not sure if it was just closed that day or if there just is no indoor seating. We were there on a sunny day anyway, so we were happy to sit in the outdoor area. The Colour Factory is a pretty cool venue, with a variety of pubs, food options and seating areas. Food was ordered via a QR on the table which brought up a menu for all 4 food vendors at the site. 2 of them are fully vegan (Hogless Roast & Chickenish), 1 has vegan options (Pi-Fi) and the other isn’t vegan-friendly. We went for the BBQ pulled Hogless burger, BBQ Bacon Hash Browns and Smoky Bacon Vegan Mac n Cheese. The burger was amazing – the ‘pulled pork’ was crispy, giving the burger a great texture along with a delicious all-round flavour. The mac n cheese was also good, but not as good as the other parts of our meal (the bacon was amazing though – I would say it’s the best vegan bacon I’ve tried - salty and meaty and just really tasty!). For me though, the star of the show was the BBQ Bacon Hash Browns – hash brown tator tots slathered with vegan cheese and ‘bacon’ bits. They were just insane! Soooo tasty and a really good portion size. I want to come back to Colour Factory to try Chickenish fried chicken, and when I do I’ll be ordering the Hogless Roast’s Hash Browns to go with it! I thoroughly recommend this place, the food is amazing and if you wanted you could easily mix and match with the different vegan vendors and build a super meal!

Everything is amazing - Edit
From the sandwiches (both are amazing) to the chips (by far the best chips I had; crispy and well seasoned), everything in this place is top notch. Nothing more to say.

The Hogless Roast - Edit
I had "The Classic" with mini hash browns and loved it, especially the "cracklings" on the burger. The hash browns (really tater tots) were flavored so well!!!

OMG soooo tasty 😍 - Edit
I'm not one for processed food, but when you want a meat alternative you can't get better than the Hogless Roast. You'd never know it wasn't the real deal.
Read morePros: Tasty 😍
Cons: Expensive

When you mentioned the burger (Hogless Roast) is expensive is the cost in £15 to £20 range ?

I honestly can't remember the cost, but I'm sure it was less than £15. Definitely not more

It's OK but expensive - Edit
I seem to be the only dissenting voice! I just had the burger. It was juicy with a nice sauce. The "hog" was chewy and firm. It was OK. My problem is, it was a burger that cost £8.99! The place is in an industrial yard. I went during the day but maybe in the evening it's more inviting? Better for a takeaway than eat in. Because of the cost, I probably wouldn't go back. I didn't have the same "wow" reaction others seem to have had to justify the cost.
Read morePros: All vegan
Cons: Expensive! , Not a place I would want to sit and eat.

One of the best things I ever had - Edit
Oh my! I was speechless when I first tried it, I love the mix of flavours and textures of the hog roast. Never tried anything like it. The hash browns are spot on. The dish I love the least is mac n cheese, still very nice though!

The best! - Edit
Hands down the best vegan fast food I have tried. Washed down with a fresh beer across the courtyard, you can’t go wrong here. With Vegan crackling and Apple sauce - this brioche wrapped feast is quality. The mini hash browns are the best I’ve tasted.

This place is great. Nice to have something vegan that's not a burger. Only complaint is that the portions are small

Absolutely delicious vegan hog roast - Edit
The hogless roll is delicious - it's moreish and satisfying without making you feel greasy and sick like some burgers. I've tried all the sides and they're all amazing - the mac and cheese is an absolute winner! I've introduced these guys to my housemates and friends and they all love it too. The colour factory where they are based is also a super cool vibe (when out of lockdown!).
Read morePros: Price, Friendly
TheHoglessRoast
Thanks for the review! We are proud of that mac and cheese, hope to see you at Colour Factory when all this is over!
