Veg Life is a Malvern-based business that was a pandemic venture bringing the local community home-cooked meals with a difference. Appealing to those with a plant-based diet and meat-eaters alike, showcasing tasty meals are down to flavour, taste and texture. Working with local venues since coming out of lockdown, they have been able to collaborate to provide alternative events through pop-ups. After being made redundant from an expedition leader role in the UAE that took Rhian to Africa, South East Asia and South America taking part in building work, wildlife conservation and other projects that had a long-lasting sustainable impact, she was inspired to continue her sustainability work through her passion for food. The travel taught her many lessons but the one she took away from it the most was the different cuisines, foods and flavours she experienced along the way and how much joy food can bring. Hoping to be able to share this passion with her community in Malvern she set about bringing this business to life. Experimenting over the past year has allowed her to take some of her creations to retail sales as well as continuing various events across the two counties.

There once was an adventurer called Rhian, who though lockdown a new journey began, she created a mystery, that would go down in history…a Scotch Egg that was completely vegan!
