The Coven
Food & Drink Festival
Written by colin

A late entry to Wigan’s food and Drink Festival, The Coven, launches 'Guilt & Pain Free' Range of Cakes.  Aimed at anyone who enjoys cakes but would like them without the fats, cholesterol, gluten or lactose, the Magic Cake range fulfils all these qualities.


Already known for its excellent veggie & vegan cuisine, The Coven are launching a new range of cakes at Wigan's Food & Drink festival on the 12th & 13th March.  The cakes are the result of applying specialist vegan baking skills by The Coven's chef - and, as one customer put it "...they are the best cakes I've ever tasted'.  The Magic Recipe fulfils many a dream of those who would like to enjoy a cake treat but are concerned about things like calories, fat, lactose, animal products or other problematic ingredients.  The special qualities of these cakes include:


  • Dairy/Lactose Free(good for anyone suffering lactose/dairy intolerances)
  • Egg Free
  • Gluten Free (good for celiac’s and others suffering from gluten intolerance)
  • Low in saturated fats (70% less!)
  • Zero cholesterol (100% less!)
  • Lower calories (20% less/slice)
  • No artificial anything

The other great thing about them is that they taste as good as 'normal' cakes - with great texture too so they offer 100% of the enjoyment for all.  Flavours on sale and sampling at the festival include:


  • Lyles Golden Syrup
  • Earl Gray
  • Real Lemon Drizzle
  • Matcha
  • Chocolate Orange
  • Fruit

We’ll also be showing a range of ‘Magic Muffins’ with all the same qualities as above but with a range of other flavours.

Veggie Cooking Workshop

Following on from the success of our last cooking workshop we are pleased to annouce that the next one will be taking place on March 28th. If you would like to take part in this or future cooking workshops, please contact us on colin@thecoven.biz.

The award-winning food in The Coven is renowned for its quality, healthyness & taste - so much so that many have asked just how we do it. Well, now is your chance to get tips from the source!  Maria is putting on a special Vegetarian Cooking Workshop on Sunday  28th March  from 10:30am to 3.30pm - lunch is included as you'll be making it!

The event is for six people only and no experience in cooking will be needed. During the event Maria will give you an insight into her style of vegetarian cooking - along with the magic that makes the food in The Coven so special.  The workshop is very much 'hands-on' - but we'll provide everything you need. 

Places are limited so please book early. Cost £90 each all-in.  To book call 01942 237800 or email colin@thecoven.biz
