MAUDLAM’S ‘THE ANGEL INN’ NABS SPOT ON PETA’S LIST OF TOP RESTAURANTS FOR A VEGAN CHRISTMAS DINNER
Group Recognises Hot Spot for Its Delicious Cruelty-Free Holiday Fare
Maudlam, Wales – The holiday season is quickly approaching, prompting PETA to search for the best vegan Christmas dinners available in restaurants and pubs across the UK. Just as there are 12 days of Christmas, the group has selected the top 12 menus that meet the growing demand for hearty, healthy, and humane holiday fare – and Maudlam’s The Angel Inn has earned a spot on the list.
The eatery’s menu includes a warming Roasted Butternut Squash & Sweet Chilli Soup to start, a Chestnut & Mushroom Pie with rosemary and thyme topped with sweet potato mash for the main course, and a Chocolate Beetroot Cake for dessert – all completely free of meat, eggs, and dairy foods.
Photos of the dishes are available here, here, and here.
“Thanks to The Angel Inn, it’s easier than ever to extend the spirit of giving to all this holiday season by leaving animals off our plates”, says PETA Director Elisa Allen. “PETA encourages all Britons to celebrate a compassionate Christmas by enjoying a vegan feast – with all the taste and none of the cruelty of a traditional meaty spread.”
More than 15 million turkeys are killed in the UK every year – including over 10 million for Christmas dinners alonePETA – whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat” – notes that in nature, turkeys are protective and loving parents as well as spirited explorers who can climb trees and run as fast as 25 miles per hour. But the ones destined to be killed for food are typically crammed into filthy warehouses, where disease, heart attacks, and sudden death are common. They are bred to grow such unnaturally large upper bodies that their legs often become crippled under their own weight.
Other eateries on PETA’s list are located in Gloucestershire, Northampton, Sheffield, and elsewhere across the UK. Each one will receive a framed certificate and be featured on PETA’s website.
