What’s the story Stem & Glory? By Louise Palmer-Masterson Louise Palmer-Masterton is founder of multiple award-winning restaurants Stem & Glory; hip and trendy but accessible plant-based restaurants, serving delicious gourmet vegan food from locally sourced ingredients, 100% made on site.

I’d been rolling the idea of a vegan restaurant around in my head for a very long time. I ran a multisite leisure business for more 10 years prior to Stem & Glory and had been experimenting with a vegan cafe within that business since we started. Finally, the opportunity presented to open a fully-fledged cafe/restaurant. We did a very successful rewards based Crowdfund on crowdfunder.co.uk raising £97k, and the first place was opened in Cambridge. We were greeted with massive support from the community here and it was very clear we were on to something.
