I've messed up.... Brain failure this morning!!
Woke up at 4am, as usual, did my prepping, left Bedford for Leather Lane in good time... arrived nice and early...
But... I'd forgotten my cool box with the food in!!!
😱😱

So won't be able to trade Today In afraid. πŸ˜ͺπŸ˜ͺ

It could have had something to do with a Birthday party I had on Saturday which went on way too late - I must be getting too old for such shenanigans!!

Sorry for not being there today... and I've got a long journey home back to Bedford to reflect on my error of my ways.

Hopefully see you next week!!! (with my brain plugged in, I hope!)

Our fresh tempeh is currently at New Loon Moon in Chinatown. It's a small trial run, to see how it sells, so if you love fresh tempeh -that's the place to get it right now (while stocks last).

We have many samples out with a number of shops and restaurants (mostly in London) so more will follow - we'll keep you updated.

We're also be able to supply in bulk around the country, so if you have suggestions of shops & eateries near you that you think might be interested, please let me know.... Thanks for your support!! :)

What people say

The Tempeh Man, located at Leather Lane Market in London, stands out for its unique offerings of vegetarian and vegan food infused with Indonesian flavors. The restaurant has received a mix of positive and negative reviews over time.

A recent review from Time Out London (December 2019) states that "the food is fresh and bursting with flavor." The reviewer highly recommends the tempeh satay, calling it "delicious" and noting that it's "perfectly charred on the outside while staying juicy on the inside." Another recent review from Veggie Magazine (September 2019) also praises the tempeh satay, along with other dishes such as the nasi goreng and gado-gado.

However, there have been some less favorable reviews of The Tempeh Man as well. A review from Evening Standard (May 2018) criticizes the portion sizes and prices, stating that "it’s a struggle to justify paying Β£12 for one small dish." Similarly, a TripAdvisor reviewer from November 2019 comments on high prices, writing that "I thought it was expensive for what it was."

Despite some criticisms, many customers express their love for the restaurant's unique concept and delicious dishes. A Google reviewer writes (November 2019), "Absolutely amazing! Fantastic healthy options and great flavors...try everything!" Another Google reviewer notes (February 2020), "This is my go-to place in Leather Lane when I'm in need of a super tasty veggie or vegan lunch option."

Overall, The Tempeh Man seems to have made a positive impression on those who appreciate plant-based cuisine with an Indonesian twist. While some may find the prices high, most reviewers agree that the food is flavorful and fresh.
