Bross Bagels To Unveil 100% Vegan Menu for World Vegan Day 

Bross Bagels has partnered with a collective of the UK's best vegan brands and is set to transform its shops for a day, showcasing an entirely vegan menu celebrating World Vegan Day on Monday 1st November.

Though Bross already offers a collection of plant-based bagels and vegan street food sides, on Monday 1st November, all of the Bross favourites will be reimagined in 100% vegan-friendly versions. 

Working closely with Scottish vegan 'meat' producer Sgaia, THIS - who make hyper realistic alternatives to meat, and Minor Figures - who make plant-based products for coffee lovers - the menu is set to be bursting with flavour and innovative vegan recipes.

The Bross team have crafted an extended menu, which includes vegan-friendly versions of all of the Bross classics, as well as a range of new and unique vegan fillings.  From vegan pizza bagels using Sgaia’s vegan ‘pepperoni style slices’ to the ever popular ‘Nuggs Faux Sho’ (£7.50) – a vegan bagel bursting with THIS Buffalo Nuggs, pickled fennel slaw, shrettuce, pickles and Mama Bross’ vegan ranch dressing, the signature, ‘Dirty Rachel’s Vegan Sister’ (£7.75) – Sgaia’s Facon, ‘cheese’, sauerkraut, crispy onions and jalapenos served on a vegan bagel, as well as a Vegan take on the classic ‘Mama Bross’ bagel.

On the 1st of November, the bakery will be baking only vegan bagels, which are hand-made with passion and craft, in the Bross Bakery in Portobello.

The bakery team at Bross have perfected the vegan bagels which are made using the same hand-crafted process that all of the bakery’s Montreal style bagels are made, but without using any animal products such as honey or eggs.

Bross Bagels will be also working with Minor Figures who create 100% plant-based products for coffee lovers, baristas and a better planet to serve up oat coffees, alongside their canned speciality brews, including Latte, Chai Latte and Matcha Latte.  

For those visitors dining later in the day the Bross Bar in Portobello will be serving up Pilot Beer’s newly vegan friendly range of beers.

Bross Bagels Founder, Larah Bross explains: “Our menus are hugely popular for vegan diets, and indeed our vegan options have always been enjoyed by a hole lot of non-vegans too.  We’ve always worked hard to offer plenty of plant-based choices from our filthy fries to our popular bagels like ‘Dirty Rachel’s Vegan Sister’ – I’m a firm believer that no one should miss out on our flavour-bursting bagels.

“Part of what drives my passion for continuing to evolve our menus at Bross, is encouraging people to try something new – and fall in love with it.  Hopefully transforming our menus for the day will encourage our bagels fans to try something a little different, while making a difference.”

Andy Shovel, Co-Founder of THIS, added: “This is a great opportunity to show how delicious plant-based food and drink can be. I think it's time we all upped our bagel game and where better to start than Bross.”

For one day only (1st November) visitors to Bross Bagels shops across Edinburgh will also see the brand’s iconic pink neon signage swapped out for some plant inspired visuals.
