World Vegan Day & our autumnal shoot

Happy World Vegan Day! Here at Brasserie Blanc, we felt inspired by the gorgeous autumn weather and the fab choice of vegan dishes on our set menu and à la carte so we nipped next door to the pub… (one of OUR pubs – The King’s Head in Teddington)… and took a few shots in their garden to whet your appetite.
