On social media, many viewers stunned after viral video showed vegan customer shocked when restaurant refused to accommodate dietary needs.
A TikToker has called out a well-known restaurant for refusing to cater to vegans. The response from the restaurant left her stunned.
Vegan diner denied service at a popular restaurant
Many restaurants have adapted their menus to accommodate different dietary needs.
However, one Essex restaurant has come under fire for refusing to serve a vegan customer.
Amie-Beth, a TikToker, wanted to meet a friend for a meal. She chose Sheesh, a well-known restaurant in Essex, after her mother recommended it.
Before visiting, she called the restaurant to ask if they could accommodate her vegan diet.
Restaurant staff’s shocking response to a simple request
During the call, Amie-Beth asked if she could order sides since the main menu lacked vegan options.
She hoped the restaurant would allow it, considering she was informing them in advance.
The staff’s response was unexpected. According to Amie-Beth, the person on the phone said, “We don’t cater for vegans. I don’t even know why a vegan would want to come to our restaurant anyway.”
Social media reaction to the incident
Amie-Beth shared the exchange on TikTok. Her video quickly went viral and sparked debate among viewers.
She was surprised at the rudeness of the response, especially from a high-end restaurant.
She noted that Sheesh is known for its atmosphere as much as its food. In the comment section, many TikTok users supported her.
Additionally, Viewers supported Amie-Beth, calling the restaurant overrated and saying all eateries should offer vegan options.
One person said: So should vegan restaurants offer meat options?
A second wrote: I know right!! I went to a vegan restaurant and they didn’t cater to me by offering a meat option!! the audacity!!
While a third commented: Why can’t I order meat at a vegan restaurant?
Someone else said: perfect example of entitled kids, “everyone should cater to MY needs…” NO!
It’s so pretentious in there… it’s a shame really because the food is amazing but other things let it down. Another added.
The growing demand for inclusive dining options
More people are choosing plant-based diets for health, ethical, or environmental reasons.
Restaurants that fail to accommodate these needs risk losing customers.
Many viewers argued that a well-known restaurant should be more inclusive.
One person pointed out, “Even if they don’t offer vegan options, they should never be rude.”
The debate continues over whether restaurants should be required to offer vegan meals.
While some believe establishments have the right to set their own menus, others think inclusivity is key in modern dining.
For now, Sheesh’s stance on vegan diners remains clear. But in a world where plant-based eating is growing, will they reconsider their policy in the future?
