Orders for vegan food delivery skyrocketed in 2020 in the United Kingdom according to data released by delivery service Deliveroo. When compared to last year’s data, orders for plant-based dishes increased by 163 percent in 2020. Furthermore, Deliveroo has seen the number of vegan restaurants on its app more than double since last year, with 12,000 restaurants now offering vegan-friendly options. The most vegan orders in 2020 were placed in Brighton, Bristol, London, Manchester, and Edinburgh.
“We’re continuing to see a massive increase in demand from our customers for vegan dishes and so many of our restaurant partners have created exciting new dishes to kick-off Veganuary 2021,” Elena Devis, Vegan Category Specialist at Deliveroo, said. “Vegan and plant-based food is a growth area we are really excited by at Deliveroo so we’re super happy to be supporting Veganuary again this year.”
