According to Plant Based News, 1.5 million people in the UK are following a vegan diet for the benefit of the planet with projects such as Veganuary converting a number of meat-eaters.

Researchers praised the low price of fruit and vegetables in the city for having it pushed Newcastle up the rankings and into joint fourth.

Other data taken into consideration when producing the index score were the number of vegan-friendly restaurants, the % of restaurants that are vegan friendly, the number of Uber Eats restaurants delivering vegan food and the number of health & supplement shops.

Having fewer vegan-friendly restaurants in the city, just 252 cost Newcastle a place in the top three.
