Plant-based dishes hit hard by the pandemic
Wed, Jul 6, 2022

Out-of-home consumption of plant-based dishes decreased by over 40% in 2021, compared to 37% for meat-based dishes. And while plant-based meals have grown their share of UK restaurant menus over the past few years, they still only hold a 9% share of total main dishes, compared to over 20% for meat-based dishes.
