It is not hard for vegans to be vegans, so why judge them and give them tough time for choosing to live life on their terms.
But this popular restaurant in Essex is facing criticism after they refused to cater to a customer for her vegan dietary requirements.
The duo decided to contact Sheesh in Essex after Amie-Beth’s mom recommended it.
Despite having been a few years ago and allegedly being told she couldn’t only order sides despite there not being any other vegan options on the menu, Amie-Beth rung up the restaurant to check if it would be possible this time.
Amie-Beth noted she and her friend hoped Sheesh may be okay with her being vegan considering they were letting the restaurant know in advance or perhaps the restaurant’s policy had been updated since she last visited.
According to Amie-Beth, the woman on the end of the phone responded: “We don’t cater for vegans. […] I don’t even know why a vegan would even want to come to our restaurant anyway.”
However, the TikToker added: “It’s 2023, being a vegan ins’t weird. we were just asking a question, fair enough if that’s your policy, but […] I just can’t believe that a restaurant that is so well-known would be so rude.”
Social media users took to the comments section to lend support to the TikToker
One said: “Sheesh is very overrated due to celebs going there a lot. I agree x.”
“Sheesh is literally all aesthetic and no substance! So many better alternatives in Essex,” another wrote.
A final resolved: “If a restaurant doesn’t offer vegan, vegetarian or gluten free options in 2023 it’s dead! No excuse.”
