Woodlands Nabs PETA Vegan Food Award for Best Menu

Woodlands Nabs PETA Vegan Food Award for Best Menu

Bury St Edmunds – As more than 1 million households in the UK are now vegan or vegetarian, PETA is recognising the latest and tastiest offerings that are making it easier than ever to make the switch with its ninth annual Vegan Food Awards.

Nabbing the award for Best Vegan Menu is Bury St Edmunds–based restaurant Woodlands – found within Bannatyne Health Club. Offerings include bountiful breakfast and lunch menus, a luxurious à la carte dinner, and Champagne afternoon tea, and the health club even has .

McDonald’s won Best Vegan Burger for its protein-packed McPlant, and Burger King took home the Launch of the Year award for its crispy Vegan Royale. Both are sure to introduce new audiences to vegan food. Other winners include Alexis Gauthier’s vegan restaurant 123V, which nabbed Best Vegan Sushi, and VFC – a start-up founded by Veganuary’s Matthew Glover – which took the prize for Best Vegan Chicken, an award that went to KFC last year.

“Vegan picks are so popular they’re landing on the menus of the biggest chains and flying off the shelves of every supermarket,” says PETA Director of Vegan Corporate Projects Dawn Carr. “Woodlands is leading the way in the fitness sector by championing nutritious plant-based foods to support healthy living.”

Each person who goes vegan spares nearly 200 animals every year daily suffering and a terrifying death. Eating vegan also slashes greenhouse-gas emissions and lowers a person’s risk of developing heart disease and cancer.

PETA – whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat” – opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview. High-resolution images of the winners are available here. For more information, please visit PETA.org.uk or follow the group on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.
