A green energy company has opened what it claims to be the UK’s first fully plant-based workplace canteen.

Ecotricity, in Stroud, Gloucestershire, said the move was part of its aim to combat climate change, protect nature and promote healthy eating.

Dale Vince, founder of the company, said: “We think our new plant-based cafeteria is a first and proves that there’s another way to do things.

“Plant-based eating can be affordable, healthy, tasty, and good for the planet. The future is plant-based, and the sooner we get there, the better for us all.”
