A family-run Chinese takeaway in Brislington has seen success in recent years by moving to an all-vegan menu. Cheungs on Sandhurst Road has a legacy spanning more than 50 years in South Bristol and was recently nationally recognised for its impressive takeout selection.
Cheungs was first opened in 1969 as a traditional Chinese takeaway and fish bar serving South Bristol. Linda Wong, formerly Cheung, took over her parent's business in the last few years and during a refit of the shop front in 2021, the team experimented by changing the menu initially on a temporary basis.
Linda said: "We thought we should try vegan as we still had access to the kitchen during that period we were closed. We thought we would play around with some vegan dishes and if there was the same demand for a trial."
