Taking part in Veganuary this year?

This campaign challenges members of the public to adopt a vegan lifestyle for the first month of the year.

If you are taking part in this challenge it doesn’t mean you have to live off a diet of water and vegetables.

You can still enjoy tasty food, as many restaurants are vegan-friendly have offer a variety of plant-based options.

Best of all, each one of these places is operating a takeaway or delivery service during the pandemic.

Here are some of the best vegan-friendly places to order from in Cumbria.
