Police have been called to Michelin-starred restaurant Mana after protestors from Animal Rebellion targeted the venue.
Just after 7pm this evening (Saturday December 3), 16 supporters of the animal and climate justice movement entered the restaurant and occupied tables reserved for customers. The demonstrators held 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".
A spokesman for Animal Rebellion clamed that Mana was targeted because "it refuses to cater to vegans" and has "a meat-heavy menu". One of the protestors, Lewis, added: “These exclusive restaurants highlight a wider problem in our society. Whilst 2 million people are relying on food banks in the UK during this cost-of-living crisis, high-end restaurants are catering to a wealthy minority with meals worth hundreds of pounds.
