Down to earth veganism with Paul & Jason. We're a married couple from Manchester who love to share our passion for vegan living with recipes, reviews, chats, fitness, fun and the odd appearance of our cat Isis.
Although we started this channel in 2015 it wasn't really until late 2017 that we started to work hard at it, due to things outside of our control. Now, in 2019, this channel has our full attention and we have splashed out on the right equipment and software to enable us to make great content.
We'd love a like and a subscribe, of course.

Seeing Pauls face when someone is cooking food for him.. Lovely.

[@lolly5453]

I knowww! He’s jus adorable isn’t he lol. I’m not sure I’ve seen him so excited and it was a joy!

[@vickiryan1548]

The look of excitement on your little faces made me smile from beginning to end. Im from Sydney Australia, and we are in the most strict lock down we have been since this whole thing started. Theyve even shut down the building and construction industry and weve been told that we cant leave our houses unless for emergencies or food. Im so jealous of your night out, but so happy for you. What a lovely night.

[@ThoseVeganGuys]

Hope it passes quickly for you, but safely of course. I feel we may be hurtling towards another to be honest. x

[@natashakw6504]

Wow, the food looks epic.

[@rmcoult133]

Greetings from Denmark in Australia. Another interesting and enjoyable video. Been vegan for almost 30 years and when I left London 15 years ago there was VERY little in the way of vegan supermarket food, let alone to eat out. So thank you for your videos. My sister has just moved to Chorley, so if I do visit the UK, i'll try Lily's. 'Go vegan for the non human animals, why be cruel when you can be kind?'

[@freddip2039]

You two make me so happy :) we will DEFINITELY be going to Lily's at some point. Paul you look so fabulous...and matching the décor too! I work in the service industry and you both seem to treat the staff PERFECTLY! It is so appreciated and makes the job so much nicer. Cheers to you both xxx

[@rebeccagreen692]

I needed a lovely video like this to watch tonight. I'm only half way through but you both seem to be enjoying the meal and the restaurant so much. The food looked delightful.😃

[@hannahmitchell87]

I've missed a lot of your uploads recently but it gave me major warm & fuzzies to see you enjoying each others company & a fab meal, with the sound of others doing the same in the background. Put a proper smile on my face after a stressful couple weeks. Sending mega loves to you both & keeping everything crossed for you Paul 🖤🖤🖤

[@flanny5419]

Nice to see you guys having a chilled night out at long last. Judging by the dishes on your table, Lily's is a must!! 😋👌

Aww how lovely it is to see you both out enjoying yourselves with some gorgeous food. In normal times we are in Manchester a lot, most of the time overnight and this is somewhere we will definitely be visiting 🥰 I love that the staff are so helpful and knowledgeable, it honestly makes an experience for me 🙂

[@blessingsoutlaw]

Did you notice the naan in the featured shot - looked like a face. 😛 Fun seeing two happy, healthy vegans on a date. 🌷❤️

[@barrbuff]

You two are just so pleasant, I love you so much. We are getting back to normal here in NJ (USA) as well. Just went out yesterday with two friends for lunch. My first time out as well since pre covid.

Really nice vlog, lovely to hear the sounds of other ppl in the background dining and enjoying themselves too😁🤣 food looks immense!

Have you ever eaten from the V Rev Vegan Diner in Manchester? I went there recently and think it would be amazing if they could expand to other locations - such a nice treat

[@MostlyLoveOfMusic]

oh and there's another veggie/vegan place called Greens Restaurant in Didsbury - have you ever been? made me happy

Thinning of ordering a takeaway from Lily’s tonight so just rewatching this video… it’s just swung it for me! Have you guys ever been to Goa, India? I went a couple of years ago and can say the food was incredible and the people so lovely and friendly… Palolem is simply beautiful and they have an array of vegan cuisines on offer.. lots of cool little shacks and bars along the stunning beach.. I think you guys would love it!

[@juk2023]

Looks amazing 😍😍

I don’t think I’ve ever had food envy as bad as I have it right now! Oh my Goodness that food looks absolutely amazing and exactly the kind of food I want when I go out to eat. Lily’s is now number one on my places to eat now Schmarona is easing. Do you mind me asking roughly how much or how far it is in a taxi?

[@ThoseVeganGuys]

It was £6.50 from ours Kellie. You know Ikea in aston, it's like 200 feet from there. xx

My partner & I travelled up to Hyde from Stoke yesterday to see a friend. We usually eat at Lily's... it's the best food hands down I've ever eaten. However we chose a take away from Vedic in Hyde... have you been? Fabulous food too... beetroot dumpling curry is divine.... lovely video guys.... Paul looked so excited.... x

I was watching this in the morning drooling 🤤 I so need an Indian x

[@jackkadaka9020]

Looks delish! Thanks for having dinner with me, guys. Paul you're such a cut-up!

[@ThoseVeganGuys]

Cut-up with the north american meaning? If so, I'll totally take that. :)

[@jackkadaka9020]

@@ThoseVeganGuys Yeah, cut-up as is in riot. Why is American slang so violent? And why are my phrases stuck in the last century, mid-last century? Does cut-up have a different connotation in the UK?

@@jackkadaka9020 cut up here is to be really sad or emotional about something. "David's left her and she's cut up about it"

[@dasruby4178]

Guys do they do a vegan thali? I have to say wow. Respect the food looks authentic. Says the Indian... That is the benefit of you living up north. With a larger Indian population. Wembley is good for amazing vegetarian and mainly vegan food. I am British Indian punjabi. However, South Indian food. 🙏 Beautiful... I have tried to make? Speciality is a aloo masala dosa with sambar. ❤️. If they have you need to try.. Hope you had the best time. Xx

[@ThoseVeganGuys]

They do indeed do a vega thali. Everything on the menu if not already vegan, can be. x

[@dasruby4178]

You need to try a thali. Especially if they give a taster of all the vegan food. I know I am biased. But we Indian's do Have the best vegetarian diet. Which is made easy with going the amazing vegan free dairy. I have to be honest the cheese has been an issue until I may have cracked it. Possibly palettable

[@saschathinius7082]

I'm having a glas of red with you (at least in my mind)

[@johncrwarner]

Paul: "Don't think I have ever had cassava" Perhaps you haven't had tapioca pudding - a staple at my school but tapioca is processed cassava.

[@ThoseVeganGuys]

We read that when we looked it up. Never had it in this way before but loved it. X
