Now that The Vegetarian Butcher has been successfully assimilated and expanded by Unilever, it's interesting to note that there's also room at the small end of the industry. Thanks to the pandemic, two British vegan restaurants have pivoted their business into becoming vegan butchers*. 

Rudy’s Vegan focusses on vegan versions of American diner food.
Faux is more like a European style delicatessen.

Both sell online, as well as having local shops styled like a traditional butchers shop, and both have been met with raging enthusiasm from their customers. Could this become a trend that helps to repopulate the high street?

I'm creating the book and podcast series for people who want their small or medium business to make more profit and better impact. Take a look: https://sixtyminutestoimpact.xyz

* Let us not get into the discussion about whether they can/should use the word butcher, or not, that's not the point of this post.
