Right, listen up. Whether youโre a full-blown vegan, a curious flexitarian, or just here to scoff at a plant-based burger the size of your head, Derby Vegan Market is the place to be.
Theyโre dragging a battalion of street food vendors, craft brewers, bakers, ethical jewellers, and zero-waste warriors for one awesome, kale-fuelled feast. Expect the kind of food that shuts up even the most die-hard carnivore, plus enough indie traders selling sustainable goodies to make your reusable tote bag feel smug.

โฐ - Monday to Sunday: 2:00 PM โ 11:00 PM
๐ท - @theathensgrillderby
Some places say they do Greek food. Athens Grill actually means it. Every bite here is like stepping off the plane into Athens, only without the overpriced airport sandwiches.
The souvlaki? Grilled to perfection.
The gyros? Stacked high with flavour.
The tzatziki? So fresh it should have a fan club.

You can forget everything you think you know about Indian food because Amad isnโt playing by the usual rules. This is the real dealโauthentic Indian cuisine, but with a bold, modern twist because every bite hits like a Bollywood blockbuster.
Oh, and theyโre open for breakfast too. Thatโs rightโstart your day with a proper Desi kick.
