Sounds good, right?

MUST VISIT Suncraft

GLOUCESTER ROAD, BRISTOL

If you’re after fine dining, this might not be the place for you but if you do want innovative plant-based food, stylish décor and a laid-back atmosphere, you need to try out this world food restaurant on Bristol’s famously independent Gloucester Road. All dishes are not only vegan but gluten-free too, and include the likes of kimchi and tofu fritters, sweet potato tempeh balls, cashew and courgette koftas and spiced banana doughnuts. Ingredients are sustainably sourced, fresh and change with the seasons. You can order on Deliveroo, where your food will be packaged in Vegware which is made from renewable, lower carbon or recycled materials, and is 100% biodegradable. suncraft.co.uk
