Vegan restaurant hit by cost of living crisis will start serving meat due to lack of customers

  1. Why you don’t open a restaurant if you’re not passionate about the cuisine and just jumping on a fad. This won’t fix their business and they won’t be able to go back.

  2. Always a shame, but a lot of businesses aren’t built on ethics but profit. If you want an example of good vegan business check out Unity Diner. On par with every other London diner but their profits go back into charities and furthering the movement.

  3. Veganism isn’t quite big enough *yet* to have successful fully vegan restaurants outside of major cities.

  4. This is just pure anti-vegan garbage journalism – something you should expect from a shitrag like the Daily Mail. Many non-vegan restaurants fail and close, why is this one news-worthy simply for being vegan? Ah, yes, confirmation bias…

  5. Of course this was from the Daily Heil. They love a good opportunity to stoke the culture wars, and have a dig at veganism.

    Can we please ban Mail and Sun links in this sub?

  6. I’ve eaten at this place, we went there for mother’s day this year. A few members of my family are vegan (hence the visit) and I quite often cook vegan dishes and enjoy them greatly.

    Unfortunately this place is just bloody awful. The food quality/portion size are poor and the “recipes” they follow make no sense. For example, my “tikka massala” was more like a tin of tomato soup with a couple of mange tout (very Indian) and a slice of courgette, along with some dusty tofu.

    It is so easy to cook amazing vegan food…sadly, this place is just shit. The meat dishes will also be shit.

    Sad to see a local business inevitably go under but it’s amazing it’s been going this long to be honest.

  7. Could they not try vegetarian before leaping to meat from vegan?

    Just thinking they’re missing a step before the meaty juice fuckfest?

    I mean I eat meat and do also eat a lot of vegetarian food but barely eat any vegan as I like proper cheese n eggs and that

    So as a meat eater I’d be more likely to go to a veggie restaurant over a vegan restaurant

    And I’m sure most vegans could potentially compromise a veggie meal as a one off over absolute no way of thinking of eating meat

  8. I’m no expert but surely, a vegan place is targetting vegans and as a result, it’s not really a good idea to piss them off. This will backfire. The restaurant industry is a very tough industry to succeed in due to narrow profit margins and time being against you. Even chefs like Gordon Ramsay have had restaurants fail or he shut them after a few years because people didn’t want to go to it anymore.

    Maybe, instead of serving meat, experiment with new vegan meals instead?
