Start the year right with these eco-friendly vegan and vegetarian food deliveries

Given the climate crisis, it’s unsurprising that more people are upping their intake of plant-based products. But the good news for foodies is that thanks to hospitality’s increasing commitment to sustainability, Veganuary tastes better every year. More and more restaurants are creating flavoursome dishes that are perfect for flexitarians looking to add more vegetables to their diet, or for veteran vegans alike. Here are some of the best deals that can be delivered straight to your door for a night of stress-free, guilt-free indulgence.

The Athenian Plant-Based

The Athenian, known for its award-winning souvlaki and gyros, has embraced a plant-based menu that is packed full of vegan choices. Modelled on some of the restaurant’s most popular dishes, the new range includes a large selection of signatures including the delicious souvlaki wrap – the “chicken” will definitely have you fooled and is almost indistinguishable from the real thing. There is also a selection of boxes including the vegan gyros box which comes complete with vegan halloumi, handmade pita, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions and fries. And if you’re still hungry after that you can add one of their delicious sides such as the courgette fritters or tomato croquettes.
