Celebrate Veganuary with The Coconut Tree’s Sri Lankan Roots Menu

This Veganuary, The Coconut Tree (TCT) is extending its vegan offering to celebrate the unique style of this cuisine with the return of its limited-edition Roots menu, available across January. Vegan meals are gaining traction, and for authentic family-run restaurants like TCT, plant-based dishes come naturally.

The Sri Lankan restaurant’s small plates allow diners to try their hand at new dishes without being fully committed – they can mix and match, exploring plant-based dishes in a flexible and communal setting where the pressure is off and new flavours can be explored. Highlights of the 2024 edition include Kale and Cabbage Sambol, Jackfruit Kotthu and Kaju Maluwa (a creamy cashew nut curry). The menu is available at all 9 UK locations, including Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, Cheltenham, Bournemouth, Birmingham, Oxford and Reading.

TCT is grounded in the authenticity of Sri Lankan cuisine, which is an excellent example of how these recipes can stand on their own and become second nature. It’s not just about swaps and substitutes, with many Sri Lankan recipes being naturally vegan.

The restaurant group is all about recreating sunny, laid-back island life on Sri Lanka’s coast, with recipes inspired by the founders’ roots and lived culinary experiences. For diners wanting to recreate some of TCT’s delicious vegan flavours from the comfort of their own kitchen, a selection of recipes is on offer, including the Beetroot Mallun, Jackfruit Kotthu, Cashew Nut Curry, and Tempered Pineapple.

Rashintha Rodrigo, Co-Founder and Head of Ops, comments, “We’re all about celebrating good food, and that includes our naturally vegan dishes. Any way we can help people step out of their comfort zone more confidently and explore new food is great, and that’s what The Roots menu is about. Every dish naturally enhances the natural flavours or textures of its ingredients, drawing on captivating combinations of spices to make each meal a standout. It also doesn’t have to be all or nothing with our share plates, you can try one or two vegan dishes or enjoy the whole range, it’s up to you.”
