Britain’s first vegan fish and chip shop is here

There was a time when being vegan meant endless lentils, half-hearted salads and whatever your local Holland & Barrett happened to have in its freezer section.

Those piteous days are over; no longer does the dedicated vegan need to ditch their favourite junk food in order to dodge animal products.

Traditional chippie Sutton and Sons has opened the UK’s first ‘vegan fish and chip shop’ – incidentally, just down the road from London’s first vegan fried chicken shop – after a trial menu proved so popular, it warranted a venue of its own.

Rather than tofu, or tempeh, or even jackfruit, Sutton and Sons’ signature fish dish is made from… banana blossom. The flower produced by banana plants. The team marinate it in seaweed and samphire, and then deep fry the lot in their signature batter.

The 100 per cent vegan menu also features ‘prawn cocktail’, ‘scampi’, ‘chicken’ and ‘fish’, battered Linconshire-style sausages, and mushroom pie and mash – all washed down with your usual chip shop fare: mushy peas, gherkins, onion rings, curry sauce, garlic ‘mayo’, and ‘tartar’ sauce.

So, how much will a portion of vegan chips set you back? The banana blossom ‘fish’ is £5.50, and a regular portion of chips costs £2. With a can of fizz, you’ll have change from a tenner.

Pricier than your usual chippie, no doubt about that. But for the chickpea-fatigued vegan, we imagine the satisfaction of demolishing an animal-friendly chip shop dinner is priceless.
