BRIGHTON, Bristol, and London are among the top ten destinations in the UK for vegan food lovers - will Stroud be added to the list?
A well-known restaurant review website shows that there are nearly 50 restaurants, cafes and bars in the Stroud district offering a tasty selection of meat and dairy-free menu choices.
Additionally the top ten vegan restaurants in Gloucestershire feature three from the five valleys.
According to The Vegan Society it’s estimated that as of June last year there are over half a million vegans in Great Britain, an impressive 360 per cent increase on the 150,000 people living meat-free a decade before.
For all kinds of reasons - health, environmental, animal welfare - the number of people choosing veganism is growing.
Locally, we have just had a vegan fair which drew over 1,500 people, and our own football team ground is a meat and diary free zone too.
We already have the Fairtrade town of Nailsworth and Stroud is a Bee Guardian town, could the Five Valleys become the Five Vegan Valleys?
