We’ve all been there: your friends are ordering a takeaway from your local, and the only vegan option is the salad on the side of a kebab…
Once upon a time, good vegan takeaway food was hard to come by. However, in 2021, there are more options than ever.
Whether you’re after a Chinese, Indian, Sushi or just some fast food, there are so many vegan takeaways in Sheffield to choose from.
The explosion of delivery services like Deliveroo, City Grab and Uber Eats means ordering food can take just seconds. And you can order directly from some takeaway restaurants too.
The pandemic has meant we’re all eating more takeaways than ever. While your fave restaurants and bars are closed, there’s no better way to support local, independent businesses than by ordering their food to eat at home instead.
Veganuary is the easiest time of year to try veganism. Not sure where to start? Below you’ll find a collection of 35+ vegan takeaways in Sheffield.
