Philip Pearce is the chef and owner of the Green Rocket, an award-winning cafe and restaurant in Bath that prides itself on using local produce and creating a relaxed, welcoming environment for guests. He has been vegan for 26 years and is a firm believer that vegan food doesn't have to be bland or entirely health-focused. He is also passionate about animal welfare and the environment, and says there is no better feeling than a meat-eater leaving The Green Rocket content and happy to include less meat in their diet. Philip worked in Australia and New Zealand before returning to the UK to establish his own business in 2013, learning the trade and picking up authentic recipes on his travels, resulting in the diverse flavours on his menu which are reflected in his first book.
