Restaurants

Restaurants across the UK are becoming aware of the damage done by animal products and are starting to look at plant-based alternatives. Halfway Heroes is here to push them further – reminding them of the health, planetary and financial benefits. We are asking restaurants to increase plant-based options with the goal of reaching at least 50 per cent plant-based menus.

Join us in asking your favourite restaurants to go more plant-based for our planet.

Who’s leading the way?

The British high street is lined with restaurants that are expanding their plant-based dishes, with options to suit all tastes, from Italian to Caribbean to Greek to Asian fusion.

Already, wagamama, IKEA and even Burger King have committed to making their menus more balanced.
