Pomona Island x Mi & Pho World Vegan Day collaboration
Ian Jones, Food and Drink Editor
Pomona Island and Mi & Pho have teamed up for a fully vegan food and beer pairing event to celebrate World Vegan Day. Hosted at the fast-growing urban market in Mayfield, the event will take place on Tuesday 2 November and the tasting menu will feature six specially curated, fresh and healthy Vietnamese dishes paired carefully with six beers from one of the finest breweries in the UK at the moment.
The food menu from Mi & Pho includes Spring Rolls, Hot & Sour Soup, Steam Bao Bun, Pad Thai Tofu, Vietnamese Curry Tofu, and a surprise dessert to be announced on the day. Drink pairings from Pomona Island includes Factotum, a pale ale; Discotheque a Go-Go, a double dry-hopped pale ale with Zappa, Mosaic, Simcoe, Vic Secret; Pomona lager; Stacks of Green Paper, a strawberry and raspberry sour with grains of paradise; and Boogie chillen’, a double dry-hopped IPA with Citra, Idaho 7, Sorachi Ace and Galaxy.
This ultimate vegan tasting menu is available for one night only at Escape to Freight Island on Tuesday 2 November, running from 630pm to 10pm.
