If you’re vegan, you no doubt worship at the altar of Linda McCartney.

A new vegan grocery store has opened in London – and it's targeting meat-lovers

Her sausages are bae, her sausage rolls are the ultimae hangover stodge (dip that sh*t in Vegenaise, I tell ya) and those country pies? Oh mama.

I’ve got a box waiting for me in my freezer as we speak. Perfect for this dreary weather, they’re the ultimate in vegan comfort food.

So if you too are part of the McCartney fan club, you’ll no doubt be pleased to hear about the company’s latest seasonal, cruelty-free offerings.


And they’re all perfect contenders for *whispers* your vegan Christmas food shopping list.



Let the vegan games begin – here’s what’s available in supermarkets now:

Vegetarian beef roast with caramelised onion and shallot glaze, RRP £3.50

This beef-inspired soya base roast can be found in the freezer section and cooks in 60 minutes.

The glaze means you don’t even need to make a separate gravy! Hurrah!

Linda’s previous roast offering wasn’t vegan-friendly, which made many a vegan sad last Christmas, but this bad boy is dairy-free and waiting to hop on to your Christmas dinner plate – or indeed, as part of a regular Sunday roast.

Find it at Sainsbury’s.

Vegetarian beef, mushroom and spinach wellington bites, RRP £2

These are perhaps the most exciting of Linda’s new offerings (IMHO) and will make a great feature at any picnic (it’s not autumn yet, I swear), party buffet or just cooked up and eaten with a mountain of mash, veg and gravy.

Packed with earthy mushrooms and spinach over a rich beef-flavoured soya base, the bites are wrapped in a layer of puff pastry.

Get your mitts on them in the freezer at Sainsbury’s.

Vegetarian chorizo cocktail sausages, RRP £2

Love Linda’s chorizo and red pepper sausages? (They are the bomb in a Mexican black bean stew FYI.) Then you’ll love these miniature versions!

Perfect for autumnal bonfires, Christmas buffet or simply cooking up as an on-the-go snack.

Get these in the freezer at Sainsbury’s.

Vegetarian cocktail sausages, RRP £2

Oh boy, how I’ve missed cocktail sausages. The most readily available ones are Quorn, and they’re not vegan, so these are a joyful blessing.

You don’t need me to tell you what to do with cocktail sausages.

They’re waiting for you in the freezer at Asda and Tesco (not available online at the time of writing).

So there you have it – go forth and stock up. I’ve already informed my mother that if those wellington bites don’t make an appearance at Christmas tea, there’ll be big trouble.
