A CWMBRAN pub has announced it is becoming "the world’s first plant-based steakhouse."

Last year The Queen Inn, in Upper Cwmbran, went 100 per cent meat-free after they saw a surge in popularity last year during Veganuary - when people cut meat and dairy products out of their diets during January.

And now, in partnership with Redefine Meat, the venue has announced it is revamping its menu and becoming "the world's first plant-based steakhouse".

Owner Ryan Edwards said: “2022 has been incredible, quite easing our most successful year ever.

“We’ve had an incredible amount of publicity and the support we have had for the move has been so overwhelming and heart-warming.

“People from all over the UK and beyond are obsessed and grateful for what we do.”

The pub claimed its move to become Vegan-only saved 20,000 animals lives in 2022.
