About Us
We’re Vemillion, Basingstoke’s most sustainable Café, and first 100% Vegan Café!
You don’t have to label yourself as plant-based or vegan to be interested in reducing your animal consumption; whether it’s for health, ethical or environmental reasons. Foods that are part of a plant-based or vegan diet, are the same as any healthy nutritious diet, fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes.
FAQ
No, everyone is welcome.
In 1944, Donald Watson, an English animal rights advocate (and founder of The Vegan Society) used the term vegan to describe a person who avoids using animals for ethical reasons. Veganism refers to the practice of being vegan.
People have become more aware of the negative effects of modern animal agriculture on the planet, as well as the negative health effects of eating a diet high in processed meat and choosing saturated over unsaturated fats. Our menu simply excludes animal-derived foods, such as eggs, meat, fish, poultry, cheese, and other dairy products. Which is good for you and the planet.
People who are vegan avoid using animals in all aspects of life for ethical reasons, animal welfare concerns, environmental impact, and health concerns. The term “plant-based diet” is a vegetable-based diet that is focused on health and not ethics.

While every care Is taken to ensure product information is correct, there is a risk of cross-contamination of allergens as all items are prepared in the same kitchen. Whilst we try to keep things as separate as possible there is no guarantee any item is allergen free. Please remember to check this information regularly as we’re always working on our recipes.
