The Great MOSHIMO Vegan Challenge: Heat 1 – Brighton’s original plant-based cook-off returns. Some of the city’s most exciting chefs, many of whom don’t normally cook vegan, each create a plant-based dish for the evening. Diners taste every dish and vote for their favourite, with the top three going through to a Grand Final in spring 2027.

First held in 2010, the Vegan Challenge was one of the first events to champion plant-based eating as a more sustainable choice and won a PETA Proggy award. Last year’s event sold out within 24 hours, and seats are limited.

Chefs taking part across the two heats include Cashew Catering, Ospalla in the Raw, Bonsai Plant Kitchen, Reading Room, Beelzebab, Red Roaster, Fumar Cozinha, Papa Dumpling, The Market, B’Neen, Selvin Perez, Jes James of Lost in the Lanes and Gemma Ogston.
