Many of us are adopting a healthier lifestyle, which may include making changes to our diets. Although I can’t see myself ever cutting out any particular food groups, I do try to make more of a conscious effort to eat less meat than I have done in the past. Whether you are vegetarian, vegan or just want to opt for something more sustainable and nutritious when eating out, I’ve compiled a useful list of places serving healthy and delicious plant based food in Worcester. There are plenty more restaurants who will adapt their menus to offer a vegan option upon request, but these are a few which I think already incorporate a good variety of choices on their existing menu.
