[Review] Vegan smoky ham free slice & vegan cheeZe toastie at Costa Coffee

I rarely go to Costa Coffee because it is everywhere so there is no urgency to try it especially when you are trying to try all the new restaurants.
Finally went because of the Vegan smoky ham free slice & vegan cheeZe toastie.
I suppose it was worth it because the branch I went to was the new Costa Store branch located inside NEXT.

The Vegan toastie can be found in the chilled cabinet where they heat it up for you when you order it.


The smoky ham inside is Quorn but the cheese they use is unknown.

The colour of the ham was more like salmon as it was peachy.



As for the taste, it just tasted exactly like a normal ham and cheese toastie especially the cheese which was just like dairy cheese.

Hopefully the vegan toastie will stay on the menu permanently.
Will return to Costa later as I discovered some other captivating drinks like the hot Ruby Chocolate and the seriously caramel and hazelnut cake.

[Review] East 22 - East London Pie and Mash in Eastbourne

I was really chuffed that there is a pie and mash shop in Eastbourne, it has been here since 2012 according to comments on the web.
It was formerly known as Seaside Pie and Mash but it changed owners at some point hence the new name East 22.

When you go inside, you are greeted with the typical pie and mash 19th Century style dark wood tables, the green tiles reminded me of Cockney's in Croydon.


On the walls, it had pictures of other notable pie and mash restaurants which surprised me because Pie and Mash shops are quite competitive so I like the way the owner appreciates pie and mash just like me.



On the menu, you will find the signature pie and mash as well as jellied eels.


Other options available are sausages and mash, haddock and parsley sauce as well as British desserts like sticky toffee but it would be good if they serve tea as well.

As I haven't tried any pie mash vegetarian pie yet, decided to try it here as they have it which is made with Quorn mince.
Additionally I requested for some jelly from the jellied eels because I just love it.

Tea came first which was served in a customized East 22 mug.
On the table were the usual condiments, vinegar etc.

The parsley liquor was thick and comforting.

Moving on the Quorn mince pie, it was delicious as the quorn mince had this meaty marmite taste.
Adding vinegar to it made it appetizing.

Last but not least was the jelly, it was different to the other ones I have tried.
The jelly was not as clear as the others but it was stronger in taste as you could taste the cloves, pepper and salt.

To summarize, I am definitely coming back again for the quorn mince pie which I will try with gravy next time.
