On May 31, 2025, we wrapped up the month-long inaugural Manchester Vegan Chef Challenge with an awards ceremony at KS Kitchen.
We had a total of 12 local businesses join the challenge, and more than 250 community voters provided feedback on their favorite dishes through ratings and reviews.

We’re deeply grateful to the participating restaurants for their creativity and commitment, and to everyone who sampled the dishes and cast a vote. Your enthusiasm helps demonstrate the growing demand for delicious, accessible vegan food in Manchester and beyond.
We’re excited to bring the event back in May 2026 and hope to see even greater participation!
