Michelin Star chef Simon Martin has issued a lengthy statement and riposte to Animal Rebellion protestors who staged a sit-in protest at his Ancoats restaurant Mana during a busy Saturday night service.
14 individuals were arrested on suspicion of aggravated trespass at the restaurant on Blossom Street on Saturday evening. They have since been bailed pending further enquiries, Greater Manchester Police said in a statement.
Video filmed inside the restaurant showed demonstrators holding mock menus aloft with the courses outlining the group's demands, such as 'support for farmers and fishing communities to transition to a plant-based food system'.
