It hasn’t even been a full week since Bristol’s newest vegan takeaway, an all vegan ‘fish’ ‘n’ chip shop, opened its doors and it’s already won an award!

Matter Fastfoods, which opened on Fishponds Road in Bristol on Saturday, is not your average take away. It has become the UK’s first completely vegan fish and chip shop, so naturally, it’s gained quite a lot of attention from the vegan community!

The highly successful launch on Saturday, which saw queues of hungry diners flocking to try the stores goods, has now been made all the sweeter with the vegan take away receiving its first award, just days after opening to the public. The animal-friendly take-away has been awarded the Proggy Award from PETA, which recognises animal-friendly achievements in commerce and culture.

“As more and more diners are seeking plant-based meals, Matter Fastfoods’ hearty ‘tofish’ and chips has arrived right on time”, said PETA Director Elisa Allen. “PETA hopes this vegan chippy will be the first of many across the UK.”
