Ba-Ha have really made a name for themselves on the Birmingham vegan scene, serving up innovative, homemade vegan food is what they do best. Currently, they're based in The Rainbow, a cosy pub in Digbeth - we couldn't think of anywhere better to tuck into a comforting, hearty meal.

Based in the Jewellery Quarter (not far from our School of Jewellery), they bake all sorts of amazing plant-based sweet treats and offer brunch, lunch, and even a Sunday roast.

Great vegan options
1) Cherry Reds café bar
Get yourself an all-day vegan breakfast at Cherry Reds. For under a tenner, you can tuck into a hearty vegan breakfast that's sure to fill you to the brim.
2) Vietnamese Street Kitchen
This family-owned Vietnamese restaurant has its own separate vegan menu where you'll find everything from spicy 'NOT chicken' wings (arguably the best plant-based wings in Birmingham), spring rolls, bao buns and pho. Its handy location, right in the Bullring, makes it our favourite stop for some post-shopping munch.
5) Café Soya
Birmingham's China town is a great spot to hunt down vegan food, with lots of restaurants having a separate vegan menu, but our favourite has to be Café Soya. A small, casual Chinese café that is 100% worth the queue that sometimes gathers outside.
