Bristol is one of the most vegan friendly cities in UK, new study finds

From bristolpost.co.uk

Bristol is one of the most vegan-friendly cities in the UK, according to a new study.

The study found Bristol is the 4th most vegan-friendly in the country, with Luton taking the first place and followed by Brighton and Hove and Reading in the third place.

For the research, meal replacement company Exante analysed the TripAdvisor data of the most populated towns and cities in the UK, calculating the percentage of restaurants in each city that offer both delivery and vegan options, to discover which cities are the most vegan-friendly in lockdown.

In a statement, Exante said: "Within the city [Bristol], an impressive 71 restaurants offer vegan options for delivery, which is no surprise as it’s always had a good reputation for vegan food!

"With a whopping 133 restaurants, more than half (53%) offer tasty vegan options.

"Bristol has also been an early adopter of the plant-based diet."

The study has also found the top-rated vegan-friendly takeouts in Bristol, which is ranked based on the number of ‘Excellent’ TripAdvisor reviews for each takeout and delivery restaurant offering plant-based items.

The Exante statement continued: "With the highest percentage of vegan restaurants, Luton bags top spot. Veganism has become increasingly popular, even more so in Luton, with 58% of all restaurants offering vegan options.

"With 40 restaurants offering delivery in the city, 23 of them offer vegan options, showing just how inclusive and forward-thinking this city is.

"As veganism is on the rise due to health and environmental issues, the city has also started to organise a vegan fair to cater to both budding and long-standing vegans."

It continued: "London offers the most choice for vegans, with 1,113 vegan-friendly restaurants offering delivery, which is a bonus for budding vegans residing in London.

"This amounts to 52% of the total restaurants in the city, meaning you’re never short of tasty places to go."
