Vegan Sandwich Co in Smithfield have officially won the Irish category of the UberEats Restaurant of the Year award and will jet off to London to meet Bake Off judge Prue Leith in the next stage of the competition.
The restaurant, which offers customers a full vegan menu, was nominated for the award back in May along with nine other contenders. They confirmed the news on social media and thanked both voters and staff for getting them to the final stage of the competition.
“We now have the opportunity to represent Ireland in the UK and Ireland grand finale in London against some incredible competition. I can’t wait to show how good Irish food can be. We have the opportunity as a vegan business to show that plant based food can be just as delicious as any other food,” founder Sam Pearson said in a post on Instagram.
