Vegetarian Star

Poet Benjamin Zephaniah has become one of several celebrities to join the campaign to ask the Malvern Conservators to reconsider their plans to close the vegetarian St. Ann’s Well Cafe in Malvern Hills in West Worcestershire, England.

According to a press release from the Save St. Ann’s Well campaign, Zephaniah contacted supporters to offer his thoughts, saying he was sad to hear about the closing.

“In the book Icons of England I named the Malvern Hills as my favourite place in England. I could have also said that St Anns Well cafe is my favourite place on the hills. It is unique, it is a treasure, it is fully in keeping with the hills, and is a sustainable enterprise. This cafe is a great example of the kind of ethical business that can carry us forward in the 21st century. It must be protected, it must be saved, it must just be for all of us. PS I recommend the chocolate cake!’”

The owner of the cafe, John Redman, has occupied the site of St. Ann’s Well for both his business and his residency for the past 20 years.

He was informed late last year that the Conservators would not be renewing his lease.

An online petition has been started in an attempt to persuade them to reverse their decision.

Hope this won’t be the last year for the chocolate cake Zephaniah likes so much.

More celebrities are speaking in favor of the St. Ann’s Well Cafe located in Malvern, Worcestershire, England that faces closure.

The Malvern Hill Conservators have announced they will not be renewing the lease to the owner and plan to turn the spot into a tourist hub.

An online petition has gathered over 1,800 signatures and a Facebook group has over 6,500 members.

Photographer and member of the famous McCartney family, Mary McCartney, wrote, “This sounds like a wonderful cafe with vegetarian theme at its heart which is a extremely important issue for myself for personal and environmental issue.”

Martin Shaw, who also signed the petiton, wrote, “I’ve used the cafe, and as a vegetarian it was a lifeline for me – please reconsider this decision, which if carried out will deprive so many of us who need and enjoy healthy and ethical food.”

The online petition can be found at Go Petition.

Martin Shaw, who plays Judge John Deed on the British television show with the same title, has signed a petition to save the St. Ann’s Well Cafe in Malvern Hills.

According to the BBC News, the Malvern Hill Conservators want to evict the manager, and another source says the place will be turned into a tourist information center.

The manager of St. Ann’s said of Shaw, “He said he’d found it a tranquil place and was lovely for him to get to when he is at the town theatre.”

More than 6,000 people have signed a Facebook petition asking the cafe to remain open.

When you live in an area where there aren’t too many vegetarian restaurants to begin with, it’s always pains to see a good place close.
