Rockwing food! - Edit
LD’s is set in the Black Heart pub which is very a cliche rock bar with lotsa heavy music, black paint stickers and dark themed artwork. It’s a bit Marmite, we liked it I could understand others not going so. The food is all vegan and fun. Lots of tasty sauces and condiments slathered over chips and chicken wings some of which are very good. The real fun sax the Pickernocker glory, an ice cream treat with fried pickles. How’s that for interesting and imaginative?
Read moreThe toilets are a bit grimey. But the service was quick and friendly.
Pros: All vegan , Some imaginative options , Very rock ambience
Cons: Not cheap but worth trying., Toilets could be more comfortable.

One of the best roasts I’ve very had - Edit
Not what you expect upon entering. It’s a dark little pub but the atmosphere, the staff and the food is superb. AND there’s a vegan Yorkshire pudding too!

Authentic wings, worth the wait. - Edit
Headed to LD’s at Black Heart before a gig with a non vegan friend. Absolutely love this spot, it’s not changed in years and authentically Camden. Has a great vegan beer selection on tap.
Read moreWe ordered 2 x 6 wings, one southern fried and the other buffalo with some cheesy fries on the side. After 30 mins we were told they were no longer serving the buffalo wings so we went for honey mustard. We were sat for another 30 mins waiting - not sure if this was a particularly busy night or just slow service in general but maybe don’t head here if you’re tight on time.
The wings came and they were delicious, really hit the spot. I thought the texture was pretty close to actual wings and the breadcrumb was nicely seasoned too. The honey mustard was great had a little kick to it. The fees were solid and the vegan cheese was great and had a nice consistency and melted well. Even my non-vegan friend was suitably impressed!
Overall really worth going but slightly disappointed in service time.

Greasy and good! 🤘 - Edit
I was craving some vegan BBQ, and was so happy that I found this place. It’s a bit hidden and disguised as a pub, but the whole menu is vegan!
Read moreThere are a lot of options on the menu, a lot of Smokey BBQ, spices and cheesy stuff. I had the buffalo wings and loaded fries (and another thing I don’t remember) and it definitely covered my BBQ cravings! It’s all a bit greasy and the taste a bit overwhelming, but ended the evening being happy and full 🤤

Pros: All vegan!, Great for BBQ and «chicken» experiences , Cool place
Cons: Can be very noisy and busy

Great Sunday roast - Edit
Went for the Sunday roast and had the “pork belly” (which was really just a couple of slices of tofu but sounded a lot more fancy that way) and the truffle cauliflower.
Read moreAll tasted great and it was a really substantial portion. I left feeling very full. And above all, it was great to have a Yorkshire pudding again after all this time!
This was a loud rock’n’roll pub, and it took about 45 minutes for the food to come out so just be aware of those things before you go. Otherwise, definitely check this place out!

Fantastic wings and good beer - Edit
At first, I wasn’t sure about this dark dive bar—but I quickly realized it was exactly the place to be. The bar serves the best wings I’ve ever had, hands down—both as a vegan and former meat-eater. I tried the wings with sweet mustard maple sauce and the bourbon sauce—both were absolutely amazing.
Read moreI also had a side of the mini smoked dirty mac and cheese, which was just as delicious. On top of that, the bar has a huge selection of great beers and a super friendly staff.
We had a reservation, but there was plenty of space when we arrived, so it didn’t seem strictly necessary.
Despite a few mix-ups with our order, everything worked out in the end—we even got more food than expected. The staff handled it all professionally and with a smile.
Highly recommend this place—10 out of 10 for the atmosphere, the beer, the people, and the fantastic food.

The best wings - Edit
Moved to London last year and have been on the search for the best vegan wings, and this is the place!!! Been vegan 5 years and have tried plenty of other ‘wings’ but these guys have nailed it. They offer ‘wing Wednesday’ which is £2 a wing, nice choice of beers and amazing pickle cocktail. I had the southern fried ‘my fave!’ Buttery buffalo hot and ld’s famous bbq, also the black heart dirty fries

Incredible Vegan Roast - Edit
The food was amazing 👏🏾 I didn't want the meal to end! It was the first time I'd had a Yorkshire pudding since becoming vegan over 5 years ago. The only slight negative I have is that it was quite dark in there. I'm going back for my birthday 🎂

Vegan Roast @ LD's. - Edit
Upon arrival at our reservation time, we were greeted by a member of staff and shown to our seats. The waiter arrived soon afterwards with menus. We order drinks and our mains. We did not wait long for our food to arrive. Both mains were really nice and I'd highly recommend this.
Read moreMy only gripe is that the food wasn't that hot. Nonetheless, it was still good.
If you like alternative or grunge, then you'll like the decor 👌🏼.
Pros: Decor, Atmosphere, Friendly staff.

Wings Wednesday - Edit
Tried the £2 per wing Wings Wednesday deal - they were all tasty but the buffalo and black heart special sauce were spicy!! 🥵 Favourite was the maple mustard. It's quite loud and dark, so not the best place if you want to chat. Will go back to try the Sunday Roast!

Fabulous Vegan roast dinner - Edit
Nestled in a little side street of London is an unassuming pub Restaurant with great ales and the amazing LD's Kitchen making fabulous Vegan food that is as creative as it is delicious.
Read moreOn Sundays there's a choice of roast dinners that come fully loaded with all the great trimmings like Yorkshire pudding roast tatties and veg and a choice between Southern fried Chicken, "beef" and pork with a vegan crackling that was a neat touch.
We thoroughly enjoyed what we had and would go back again.

Best meal I had on my UK vacation - Edit
I ate at most of the Happy Cow top tiered restaurants in Edinburgh and London over the course of 2 weeks and this was the best vegan meal I had. Simple-ish and at the same time not, either way it was so well executed. I had the mock chicken roast on Sunday and it felt akin to a well prepared thanksgiving back home in the states. I should point out that I had some incredible meals from other places, so I consider this very high praise. Well done guys, hope you’re around when I return to London.

Outstanding Roast Lunch. BUT… - Edit
This is quite possibly the best vegan Sunday roast in London. We ordered Roast Mocken Breast and Beef Style Steak with garlic and sage butter. There were 4 roasts all priced at £18 to choose from and they all come with the same sides of Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes (which were perfectly crispy) and a selection of veg and a jug of gravy. The flavour of everything was excellent!
Read moreBut what massively let down the entire experience at LD Kitchen was the time it took for our food to arrive. We waited 50 minutes and when I followed up with the bar staff after 35 minutes I was advised that it usually takes anything between 30-45 minutes!?! We were one of the early tables booked and they only serve roast on a Sunday, no other menu, so to expect to wait 45 minutes or longer for our order to arrive doesn’t make sense? There were at least two other tables that were following up with the same issue. If there was a problem in the kitchen then this could have been easily articulated by the staff to customers and people would most likely understand (I certainly would have). But to have no communication and to wait so long just isn’t cool.
Whilst I enjoyed the food I am very apprehensive to recommend this place to anyone based on this experience.
Pros: Amazing roast lunch
Cons: Wait time for food

Great Sunday roast - Edit
Loved the Sunday roast. Amazing roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and veg. I had the tofu ‘pork’ as I avoid meat subs and it was delicious. My OH had the chicken and loved it. The portion size was huge!! Best roast I’ve had.
