Your support makes all the difference.Online food delivery company Deliveroo announced a record increase in demand for vegan food in January this year, with orders of plant-based dishes up 163 per cent on the previous year.
The app also claims to have seen the number of vegan restaurants signing up more than double in the last year alone, meaning more choice for plant-powered customers.
And with policy institute Chatham House concluded in a February report that a plant-based diet is the best thing we can do to prevent damage to global wildlife, there’s no better time to branch out and discover the wealth of mouth-watering vegan food available.
We’ve selected some of the best things to order from Deliveroo, whether you’re self-isolating or simply in search of a delicious vegan feast.
National
Wagamama
With a commitment to making 50 per cent of their menu meat-free by the end of 2021, Wagamama are an excellent choice for plant-powered eaters.

Go Falafel
With branches in Liverpool, London and Manchester, this popular 100 per cent vegan falafel outlet is a hit with plant-powered customers, with a range of wraps, salads, juices and smoothies.
Nando’s
The home of peri peri chicken might not be the first place vegans might think about for a vegan meal, but the chicken chain also offers a selection of plant-based food. The Great Imitator Burger contains its award-winning vegan mayonnaise, but note that the wrap and baste contain trace amounts of shellac, a resin secreted by the lac bug.

Bristol

Cheung’s Vegan Kitchen
While the exterior of Cheung’s takeaway restaurant may appear unassuming, its interior holds a veritable plethora of vegan food, including crispy aromatic vegan duck, popcorn tofu, chilli vegan beef with black bean sauce and sweet and sour vegan chicken.
