Plymouth – Winner, winner, (vegan) chicken dinner! The results are in for PETA’s 2024 Vegan Food Awards – With Hedgerow Hound Picking up the award for Best Vegan Egg
The award for Best Vegan Egg is Plymouth’s Hedgerow Hound Café for its extraordinary poached “eggs”. These yolky wonders look and taste better than anything that’s been squeezed out of a chicken and can be enjoyed alone or as part of the café’s Feggs Florentine breakfast.

Other winners include Fortnum & Mason for its Free From St James Christmas Pudding (Best Christmas Pudding) and London-based Chick’N’Sours for its Vegan MK2 (Best Vegan Chicken) – a true flavour explosion featuring a crispy “chicken” patty served with green slaw, ginger miso, kimchi, and sriracha mayo.
“Animal-free fare is growing in quality and popularity as consumers increasingly choose cruelty-free, healthy, sustainable foods with no compromise on taste,”
says PETA Vice President of Vegan Corporate Projects Dawn Carr.
“From high-end to the high street, PETA’s awards show that it’s easier than ever to choose vegan.”
PETA notes that vegan foods have a smaller carbon footprint than animal-derived foods and the meat and dairy industries are top producers of the greenhouse gases driving the climate catastrophe. Eating vegan also lowers a person’s risk of developing heart disease and certain types of cancer.
