Some national foods are more vegan-friendly than others.

While a vegan curry is hardly difficult to imagine, totally-meaty, totally-cheesy dishes are something weve come to accept are out of bounds.

In other words, most British and American food.

Until now, as a vegan American-style diner is opening in the UK.

Grumpy Panda is opening its doors in Gateshead, Newcastle for the first time tomorrow and claims to be the North Easts first entirely vegan diner of its kind.

Serving up full fry ups featuring Pigless Pudding, Baecon and Eggz as well as waffles with a variety of animal product free toppings, the restaurant isnt messing around.

It also sells The Mac n Stack (vegan mac n cheese), Chikin n Waffles, Chili Cheez hotdogs and Pastramee grilled sandwiches

The wacky names are thanks to the fact that they make their own eggs cheese and meats on site, so they know exactly whats gone into them.

And while their coffee bar is vegetarian rather than vegan friendly, they keep prep areas, fridges and equipment separate to eliminate the chances of cross contamination.

We started out as an events catering company and found the North East was lagging behind on the vegan scene, the restaurants website reads.

So out popped our lovely little diner, right in the heart of Gateshead town centre,

Oh, and if you havent bought your ticket to Newcastle already, its dog friendly too.
