Find the Best Vegan Food in Digbeth – Birmingham in 2024

As Birmingham is filling up with more and more vegan food you may be wondering what Digbeth is like these days. Is it easy to find vegan food in Digbeth? 

Well, read on, because in this post I’m going to tell you about 8 of my favourite places to find vegan food in Digbeth.

If you haven’t been recently you may think of Digbeth as the old industrial corner of Birmingham filled with factories and ugly brick streets and in parts it still is. But that’s not all, if you’ve ventured that way in recent years you’ll have seen there’s quite a bit more going on now too.

Yes, there are still plenty of warehouses, workshops and storage units but among those, you’ll find all you need for a decent night out. Bars, restaurants, clubs and a choice of activities ranging from bowling and curling to escape rooms and board games.

So the question is…does Digbeth fill the needs of all of us vegans living in Birmingham?

I’ve done a recce, quite a few actually, and I’m here to say, yes Digbeth has got it all, especially the vegan food. 

Find Baha on Google Maps 

If you’re looking for a fully vegan restaurant in Digbeth the answer is…BA-HA.

BA-HA is a fully vegan kitchen that has residency in the Rainbow pub in Digbeth. You may have seen them elsewhere in the past because they’ve had residency in other places and do popups now and again, but The Rainbow in Digbeth is where you’ll find them most days. 

BA-HA’s menu has changed recently, so if you haven’t been for a while there’s something new to try. They’ve got a good selection of small plates as well as main options such as a tasty Kentucky burger, coastal cakes and a Caesar salad. – Take a look at Baha’s menu. 

They also offer a vegan Sunday Roast dinner option. So, if you’re looking for a hearty, comforting vegan meal in Digbeth then Baha in The Rainbow is a wonderful choice.

Find Chance and Counters on Google Maps. 

Who am I kidding, it’s not just Digbeth, Chance and Counters have the best vegan tacos in Birmingham!

Their fajita-spiced tofu & burnt lime tacos with vegan mayo are incredible, I could probably eat 10! But when I order ‘too’ many they give me a funny look and seem to panic! 

Chance and Counters is a fantastic spot in Digbeth. If you’re looking for a drink, some entertainment and a bit of vegan food head here.

They have a huge selection of board games to choose from and if you’re not sure what to pick there’s always someone on hand to help. To place games you pay £3 per person for 2 hours. 

Or you can just have a drink and some food. They have a load of vegan options, such as tacos, burgers, filthy fries and wings. Take a look at Chance and Counters menu here. 

This is the place to head to if you’re looking for an evening of entertainment and delicious vegan food – Find Chance and Counters on Google Maps.

If you’re looking for food you can either enjoy a beautiful afternoon tea or something from their nibbles and platters menu. Take a look at Kilo Ziro’s menu.

Find Hennesseys on Google Maps

Hennessey’s Bar is a great pub for almost anyone. They’ve got live sports, a big beer garden, fun events, like bingo and live music, as well as a pretty decent vegan menu. 

Hennessey’s vegan food offering isn’t huge but if you find yourself there watching a match you won’t go hungry because they’ve got a Jamaican Jerk Vegan Burger.

They’re not top of the list for options but if you find yourself in a pickle in Digbeth it’s an option. And I always think that if more people choose the vegan option they’ll think about adding more.

Pizza is usually a fairly safe group option. So, if you’re looking for vegan pizza in Digbeth Baked in Brick is a popular option. 

On their menu, they offer two vegan pizza options. The first one is the Grande Marinara – tomato, oregano, garlic oil, basil, and baby plum tomatoes. The second one is Vegano – pumpkin cream base, roasted peppers & aubergine and rocket balsamic. 

Take a look at Baked in Brick’s menu the vegan options are clearly labelled.
