VEGANUARY is back for its ninth year, encouraging people to live a more sustainable lifestyle.
The annual movement challenges people to go vegan throughout January, with more than half a million people from more than 200 parts of the world getting involved last year.
We asked our readers on Facebook where they thought the best places for vegan food were in Barry - here’s what they suggested...
Karry’s Deli
Karry's Deli, on Park Crescent, was the most suggested place in Barry to get vegan food. The independent all-plant based delicatessen opened in August last year and has clearly made an impact as it approaches its six-month anniversary.
Opened by Barry woman, Karry Meyrick, the deli offers a huge range of vegan options including cheese, “meats”, pizzas, pies, sweet treats, snacks, sauces, and condiments. It offers click-n-collect service where people can browse and order online, then collect and pay by cash or card.

Tiffin Rasoi
Tiffin Rasoi, on Holton Road, while not exclusively vegan earned praise for their vegan options. The Indian food venue was a runner up for Best Takeaway in the UK in the National Curry Awards 2021. It has options for meat eaters along with a vegan menu, making it suitable for various diets.
Their full menu is available at www.tiffin-rasoi.com while their vegan menu is viewable via www.veganrasoi.co.uk
Awesome.Wales
Awesome.Wales, on Holton Road (and with another store in Cowbridge), is a zero waste store and a popular suggestion.Their eco-friendly ethos includes cutting food waste and reducing plastic packaging going to the landfill.
Awesome.Wales has an abundance of vegan wholefoods and groceries available including cakes and sweets.
They even offer a plastic-free vegetable box which people can arrange to collect weekly or fortnightly. And Awesome.Wales offers home delivery in the Vale of Glamorgan, which is free for orders over £30 with a minimum £10 spend.

It’s rated #1 for quick bits in Barry on TripAdvisor (at the time of publication) with high praise for their vegan breakfast, described by one reviewer as “the best” and their vegan cakes described as “amazing”. They also offer milk alternatives in their drinks.
