AN array of vegan dishes are set to be served up at a Caribbean restaurant.

Turtle Bay, which finally opened in Colchester High Street earlier this month, has unveiled its first ever dedicated vegan and vegetarian menu.

The dishes have been devised to help people who are taking on the Veganuary challenge, where people are encouraged to go without any animal products in their diet throughout January.

Dishes include curried chickpea with peppers and mushroom wrap, and salads like the SuperVital Green Salad, festival salad and four grain salad.

One pots are rich, slowly simmered and uniquely Caribbean dishes, with vegan options including Ital Rundown and spinach aubergine and sweet potato curry.
