New scheme rates Hexham eateries based on vegan options. The recognition awards vary from Bronze to Platinum.
Cafes, pubs, and restaurants can earn awards, ranging from Bronze to Platinum levels. The awards depend on their vegan menu options. Providing non-dairy milk without extra cost matters. Winning businesses get a sticker and certificate, showing customers their plant-based options.
Award presentations start from March 10th onward. Hexham leads Northumberland with this type of scheme. The goal is to guide diners to good plant-based food, including locals and tourists seeking vegan meals.
Businesses display stickers, showing vegan choices. The Hexham council declared a climate emergency. Reducing meat and dairy helps the environment. This scheme celebrates businesses catering to plant-based diets, reflecting Hexham’s embrace of inclusivity and its quality restaurants.
Vercelli restaurant joined the scheme early. Jordan Dodwell owns that Italian restaurant. Vercelli provides many vegan menu choices.
More people choose vegan options, often for health, animal welfare, or planet reasons. Jordan wants to cater to all customers. Some pick vegan food due to dairy issues, as so many other foods now contain dairy products.
