56 & 57. Daniel Sutton & Hana Sutton — Founders of Sutton and Sons, London's first vegan "chippy"

Sutton and Sons is a family-run mini-chain of three traditional British chippies based in north and east London. One of their restaurants, however, is somewhat less traditional, in that it is entirely vegan. While vegan restaurants serving plant-based versions of the classic British dish isn't unique, Sutton and Sons was the first fully vegan chippy in London.

Their "fish" is made from banana blossom that's been marinated in seaweed and samphire and then deep-fried in their own batter. What's more, the menu at their exclusively vegan branch in Hackney also includes "prawn" cocktail, "scampi," "tofish," "chicken," and "fish" burgers, battered vegan sausages, and vegan pie and mash, proving that the plant-based amongst us needn't miss out.
