Wetherspoons Is Launching Vegan Burger With 'Beyond Meat'

UK pub company Wetherspoons is adding new vegan options to its menu.

'Spoons' is launching a meat-free burger with a plant-based patty from Beyond Meat at all 874 pubs across the UK and the Republic of Ireland.

The Beyond Meat vegan patty will be featured as a classic burger, served with chopped Cos lettuce, sliced tomato, red onion in a sourdough burger bun or a gourmet burger version with rocket, red onion, tomato salsa and smashed avocado in a sourdough bun, served with onion rings.

The vegan burger will be available from March 11.

In a statement sent to Vegan Food & Living, Jameson Robinson, Wetherspoons head of food, said: "We are always on the look out for new and innovative products, to bring further choice and quality to our customers.

"Our Beyond burger offers a great new option for vegans and vegetarians, as well as anyone wishing to reduce their meat intake, which is an ever-growing number."
