We are husband and wife duo Liv and Ross Stanley, together we are Say Cheese - a bright and smiley vegan mac and cheese food stall.

Our Story
"I'd love to go vegan but I could never give up cheese".

After going vegan it was the statement that we heard the most, the question we were forever asked, "Don't you miss cheese?!" We used to absolutely love cheese, in literally every format, but when our diet changed we set about learning to cook plant-based dishes that we had no idea existed. Who knew that cashews could blend up to make awesome sauces and dips? We'd never even heard of nutritional yeast and had no idea that we would still be able to eat cheese in all its wonderful, dairy free glory.

Say Cheese is here to change perceptions of plant-based food; mixing fresh, healthy ingredients with a classic, hearty, comfort food dish.

We've put vegan cheese front and centre by creating the ooziest, gooey-est mouthwatering mac and cheese stacked with a variety of tasty toppings. Pair that with a side of our infamous vegan Halloumi fries, which we think are one of a kind, and you’ve got a meal that will squelch even the biggest of cheese cravings. Forget your preconceptions that vegan cheese is far from the 'real' thing - our pots will stop even the dirtiest of dairy lovers in their tracks. Our cheesy secret has people coming back for more.

We serve our food from a bright and sunny, yellow marquee that is designed to lift your spirits and put a smile on your face. We have worked at festivals in the past but are now trying to include street food markets in Bristol as well as day festivals.

We strive to be as sustainable and eco-friendly as possible, using compostable packaging, recycling our plastic wraps where they are accepted, planning to avoid food waste and car pooling our way to festivals to reduce the travel impact. 

Collectively, Ross and Liv bring a wealth of experience from the hospitality industry as well as having working in event production and running their own businesses. We are always customer facing, we love to see who buys our food and interact with people to make their day better, not just with food but with great conversation. This has become a huge part of our hiring policy too - we work with amazing, positive and friendly people who make working as a team a breeze!
