Your compassion made a genuine impact. Thank you for standing with horses, for choosing a celebration without exploitation, and for helping shape a kinder future for animals everywhere.
Together, let’s race towards a kinder future, where animals are celebrated, not used. Here’s to all of you, and to the growing movement that proudly says Nup to the Cup.
With compassion,

A few snaps of the biggest event we've organised to date. I didn't cry during speeches this time but I did after a voice message late last night.

I'm gonna say thanks in another post but today, I've just got to share all the stories and posts you've all put together of the biggest vegan event in Melbourne this year.

Mike and I are truly blessed that this compassionate community came together in unity ❤️

Thanks to everyone that waited so patiently for Woking Amazing.

Next Vegout is just around the corner,so please join us
Wednesday 12th November
5-9pm
Welcome to Thornbury
520 High Street Northcote

Just as an idea, we started yesterday at 8am, bumped traders in till 11:30, opened doors and fed hungry people til 8 with a speeches break at 6, bumped everyone out by 10 and got home, realising we'd left my bag and keys at the truck, turned back up to WTT at 12:30am to grab it and then crashed out after 1:30am. Today, we're back, moving the trucks back in to get set and ready to trade for Thursday - Sunday at Welcome to Thornbury again ( see last pic) so yeah, thanks to all of you who were patient with us yesterday, it makes the day so much less stressful.

Side note: one poor ladies buzzer switched off and had a 2hr wait for food, we had to make it again so she had to wait. We pumped her food through as quickly as possible, but if you're reading this, come see me, well make it up to you, we're 😔 sorry! So, If you order food in a day that's pumping, just remember we have 50+ orders with often 6- 8 item's on any one order that gets cooked fresh to order, it could be an hour to get your food ready. But, if it's over an hour from when you ordered, come see us!

On non massive days, we've got a larger menu, order times closer to 5-10 minutes and as a bonus, I'll be smiling 😂

❤️❤️❤️

🎂🎉Happy 10 Year Anniversary to us!

Woking Amazing launched on World Vegan Day 2015 at Melbourne’s World Vegan Day festival. In the 10 days leading up to the event we worked around 180 hours getting ready. On the day, people kept coming up asking for “the wrap from the white tent” which turned out to be our very first Peking Duck Pancake 1.0.

We had no commercial fryer, our crispy squid stuck together in giant clumps, and we still sold more than 600 dim sims! We brought Zhongzi rice dumplings that we had never cooked before, so they needed to boil for over an hour before we could serve them. It was chaotic, fuelled by terror and adrenaline, but it showed us that Melbourne vegans loved our food style.

Fast forward 10 years and it has been a roller coaster. We have had so many highlights, and here are just a few fun memories from the journey:
Our famous Dimmies, Tempura Cocktail Prawns, Deep Fried Vego Bars, Fish and Chips British/Taiwanese style with mushy peas and wasabi mayo, meeting Costa Georgiadis, BBQ Chicken Skewers, Damien Mander (IAPF Founder) proudly holding our 100 percent Woking Vegan sign, Pulled Porkies Gua Bao, Morgan Mitchell (Australian Olympian), Southern Fried Calamari, Michael Craig (Red Sparrow), Lulu holding Edgars Mission’s cookbook Cooking With Kindness featuring our recipes, a bushfire fundraiser with Sea Shepherd raising more than $11k for Wildlife Warriors and Vets for Compassion during the 2020 Victorian bushfires, our Doomsday Special complete with a roll of toilet paper at the start of Covid19, the Starvin Marvin Meal Deal in front of the Woking Amazing food truck, and our humble beginnings in 2015 with a simple white marquee.

After 10 years in business, we want to say thank you to a few very special people.

Mike - thank you for always striving to be better every single day and bringing new and wildly exciting ideas to life. I’m so lucky to be sharing this life with you❤️

Mum and John - thank you for helping us in those early years, showing up for record breaking shifts, supporting us through thick and thin, and keeping us grounded.

Scotty - thank you for always championing Woking Amazing. Your support and friendship over the years has been an absolute highlight and we would not be here without your efforts. We are truly fortunate to be a permanent fixture at Welcome to Thornbury since 2019.

To our customers - we would not be here without you. Thank you for enjoying and sharing meals with us, bringing your friends and family, and tracking us down wherever we pop up next. We have had people travel from Singapore, Canada, the UK, Traralgon, Warrnambool, Bendigo, Castlemaine, Perth and beyond to try Woking. We are truly humbled.

What’s next?
Who knows, but we are incredibly proud to be a staple in Melbourne’s vegan food scene, excited to be the organisers of The Vegan Vegout, and roaring to go for our second run at The Official Nup to the Cup this coming Tuesday.
