When it became the first arena in the UK to introduce a dedicated vegan food outlet, Nottingham's Motorpoint Arena didn't know how it would be received. However, one year on food fans are raving about the wide choice.
Vegan Kitchen joins the other food stalls selling fish and chips, burgers and fried chicken in the concourse of the 10,000-seater arena where upcoming performances include Olly Murs, Michael Bublé and Peter Kay. Visitors who have ditched meat and dairy from their diets can eat biryani with poppadoms, zesty hoisin 'duck' wrap, a vegan meatball sub or a kebab topped with the works.
The decision has gone down a storm. One woman said: "Other arenas need to wake up." Another said: "As a Nottingham Panthers fan this makes me happy."
