Described as ‘the greenest football club in the world’, sustainability is central to everything we do at Forest Green Rovers, which is why we became a vegan football club in 2015.

Rovers travel to face Peterborough United on Tuesday evening in our rearranged clash at The Weston Homes Stadium.

Here we have another instalment of the vegan’s guide series, this time looking at Peterborough ahead of our first clash against the Posh.

FOOD & DRINK

Argo Lounge:

7 Bridge Street, Peterborough PE1 1EH

Tuesday Opening Times: 9:00AM – 11:00PM

If you’re looking for somewhere with a wide variety of vegan options, we’d certainly suggest Argo Lounge and their extensive vegan menu. Situated right in the middle of the Peterborough City Centre, the restaurant has brunch choices, sandwiches, tapas and mains such as a curry, burger and salad. Should you find yourself in the centre of town before kick-off the lounge is a place to stop into on the way to the game.

Top Chef Chinese:

42 High Street, Peterborough PE2 8EL

Tuesday Opening Times: 5:00PM – 10:00PM

Maybe before Tuesday’s clash after you’ve made the journey from Gloucestershire you might want to get a Chinese. Well Top Chef Chinese is the place to go. The vegan takeaway has a wide range of many favourites that are suited for vegans. So, when you arrive in PE2, Top Chef Chinese will be waiting just a 20-minute walk from the ground to take your order.

Embe:

Located in the heart of the city centre is Embe Soul Food and Drink, a vegan friendly restaurant with a range of African cuisine. With vegan wraps, curry and other meals to choose from, the options are well reviewed. It may be something you haven’t tried before, but if you get to Peterborough in good time, Embe could a place to visit to try something new.

REFILL SHOPS

The Little Fenland Eco Shop:

28a Great White, Ramsey, Huntingdon PE26 1HA

Tuesday Opening Times: 8:30AM – 5:30PM

20 minutes outside of Peterborough in the small town of Ramsey, you’ll find The Little Fenland Eco Shop. With a load of raving reviews, the store sells all sorts, from bathroom supplies to kitchen essentials as well as ‘Ramsey Refills’ which covers a range of different liquids. It’s a bit out of your way to Peterborough but if you fancy a detour why not go and give them a visit.

STAYS

Hempsall Farm Vegan Glamping:

Hempsall Farm, Meadow Road, Willingham, Cambridge CB24 5JL

If you’re deciding to stay in Cambridgeshire for a day or two after the match, why not head down to Hempsall Farm Vegan Glamping. Located just under an hour South of Peterborough, the site is ‘surrounded by countryside’ and has three luxury tents, each of which can house six people. So, if you want to make a mini trip out of Rovers’ first visit to face the Posh, why not enquire for a picturesque vegan stay.
