A Weston-super-Mare café owner claims she has been subjected to a “hate campaign” after she turned a greasy spoon into a vegan venue. Anna Southwell took over Sprout last year, she also runs another vegan eatery Loves with her partner Josh Mousley, 32.
But she says some customers have been far from welcoming with her staff being “abused” a dozen times for not selling bacon butties and other "traditional foods" since they opened the plant-based café last June.
The previous owner closed during the pandemic and had previously served up items like hotdogs and burgers, according to Ms Southwell, reports the Express.
