Heather Mills is proud to announce the official opening of VBites, her innovative new vegan community café at Hove Lagoon in East Sussex. Young and mature, vegans and carnivores – Heather is inviting everyone along to VBites on Saturday 4th July 2009 to celebrate the launch of this exciting new venue for Sussex.  Heather and the VBites team will open their doors at 9.30am ready to welcome the community of Brighton and Hove offering a creative & varied international menu of vegan dishes. At 12:15 a special opening ceremony will take place with words from Heather Mills, with Celia Barlow, the MP for Hove and Portslade, in attendance.

As well as being able to taste the full VBites range of delicious food and drink, visitors will be treated to a selection of live music throughout the day. Grandma and Grandpa will be able to bop along to a full Glenn Miller style band hopefully in the sunshine and as the afternoon draws to a close, the party will move inside where a variety of music with a DJ will take over to satisfy every musical taste.

VBites will offer a balanced menu of unique meatless meats and vegan treats with a gastronomic feast of dishes inspired by every corner of the globe. VBites talented chefs will be serving Heather’s recipes, everything from Bangers and Mash to Chicken Style Nut Korma, mini pitta pockets with Beefy Wok Strips to amazing salads and yummy fruit smoothies, a Traditional English breakfast, Pad Thai served with rice noodles, Saag Paneer with vegan feta cheese, full Sunday roast with all the trimmings and a wide range of delicious sandwiches including a ‘ham’, cheese and tomato toastie and a classic BLT.

To keep the kids happy, there is also a yummy children’s menu with a wide range of choices to satisfy even the fussiest of eaters. The little ones can choose from a varied selection including ‘Fishy Fingers’ or ‘Chiky Nuggets' served with chips and a choice of peas or baked beans (all of the chips served at VBites are oven baked) and Spaghetti Bolognese.

For those with a sweet tooth, VBites will feed your desires with gorgeous chocolate muffins, tasty cakes and delectable desserts. The café’s ice-cream bar will serve fruit smoothies, plus a very special VBites version of the traditional Mr Whippy ice-cream…Mrs Swirly!

Incredible, delicious, proprietary recipes and secret seasonings will change the way even the most hardened carnivore thinks about "meatless" meats.

Everyone loves a cheeky burger now and again, so Heather has ensured that the customers of VBites get the tastiest vegan fast-food on offer. A suitably healthy filling station, complete with serving hatch straight from the play area to the kitchen, will serve a range of quick dishes that are guaranteed to not only make your mouth water but be affordable too.

The facilities at the café are first class with a dedicated area for mums, dads, and kids, complete with baby changing facilities, interactive kid’s crèche, internet access and a stunning bar area where you can enjoy those long summer evenings.

VBites really is something quite special and unique for the whole community – so please bring your family and friends along to Hove Lagoon on Saturday 4th July and give it a try for yourselves.
