Free oat milk coffees will be available on Clapham Common throughout Monday, marking World Vegan Day.
The complimentary coffees will be given out from 9am to 6pm on November 1 at Common Ground café on Clapham Common South Side, thanks to the British oat milk producer, Glebe Farm.
Various types of coffee drinks will be served using Glebe Farm's milk brand, Pure Oaty, which the family-run businesses makes exclusively from gluten-free British oats.
Philip Rayner, co-founder of Glebe Farm Foods, told South West Londoner: "At Glebe Farm we not only grow our own oats for our PureOaty drink right here in Cambridgeshire, but we've built the first UK facility to make oat milk from scratch too.
"Our PureOaty is made exclusively from British oats and manufactured in the UK because we don't see why British consumers should have to compromise on taste, provenance or sustainability when it comes to dairy-alternative products."
Oat milk has quickly become the cream of the vegan milk crop, with Brits spending a record £146 million on oat milk in 2020, according to research published in September.
World Vegan Day, established in 1994 by then chair of The Vegan Society, Louise Wallis, was initially founded to celebrate the society's 50th birthday and the 50th anniversary of the term 'vegan'.
It is now celebrated internationally with events in support of the vegan lifestyle held every year.
