12% of Brits, that’s 8 million, will enjoy a vegan or vegetarian Christmas, according to an animal welfare charity*. In addition to this, 24% of Brits will cater for plant-based and vegetarian family members or friends on the special day.
With the demand continuing to increase, gone are the days when the only vegetarian and vegan option on a Christmas menu was a “Nut Roast”. Using a selection of our vegetarian and vegan friendly stocks, gravies, jus and sauce bases, our development chefs have created a selection of inspiring recipe options for your meat-free menu:
