Since 2014, Veganuary has inspired and supported more than half a million people in 178 countries to try vegan for January – and beyond. More than 500 businesses took part in Veganuary 2019 and more than 200 new vegan products and menus were launched for Veganuary 2019.
So, will you be giving it a go this year?
Whether you’re a devout vegan already or whether you’re a meat lover who fancies a change… there’s a reason for everyone to try vegan. The vegan diet is a healthy, environmentally friendly way to kick start your “new year, new me!” resolution {even if it only lasts the month… you never know, you might love it!}
Here are some great places to try Vegan options in Cheshire this January/Veganuary.
Wild and Wild Cafe, Congelton – was once a family dream, now a team of awesome people making food by hand with love, made entirely from plants. The mission is simple; to create a space for immersive wellness, leading with taste with a main focus on health.

Shops wise, we are so lucky in this county to have such brilliant farm shops like The Hollies, which is packed to the ceiling with delicious fresh fruit and vegetables for you to make your own special vegan dishes.
If, Like me “Half the day I wonder if it’s too late for coffee. The other half I wonder if it’s too early for Prosecco”
Try a Vegan Wine….why not just THINK!
ThinK wine group have partnered with a highly regarded, vegan and organic vineyard in Treviso and are bringing to the public two bespoke reduced calorie sparkling wine drinks; ThinK Prosecco and ThinK Pinot Grigio Sparkling Rose – both drinks have reduced sugar levels and reduced calories (approximately 40% less than standard dry) but most importantly, there is NO compromise on the Taste.
So Vegan and healthy….ideal.
