RIISE: Can you talk us through your journey into a plant-based diet? Are there any people or resources that were particularly influential in your transition? 

TRW: My mum was vegetarian and my dad only ate some local meats/seafood on very rare occasions so it was never a part of my diet. When I was a teenager, my friends were all eating chicken burgers and naturally I wanted to try so I started eating some chicken and bacon for a few years, but quickly learnt a few years after of all the cruelty that is involved in the animal industries and went back to being vegetarian and then made the transition with the restaurant in January 2018 

RIISE: Could you tell us a bit more about No Bones’ mission? 

TRW: Our mission was always to feed everyone, not just the vegans, because at the end of the day it's hard to make a difference if you're only feeding the people who are already living the way you are encouraging. Most of the people who come to No Bones aren't vegan and we LOVE that! Some come to be tricked, which is always fun, but most come out of curiosity. We try and play our part in giving back however we can, we are currently working with Green For You, who come and collect our green waste every week and compost everything and even teach local kids about soil regeneration. We support local producers as much as possible as well. We only serve natural, Australian wines, all local beers, sustainable and Australian spirits in our cocktails. We are always looking at ways to improve, like recently creating a zero-waste house made lemonade :)
