Vegan Burger (the Beetnik) to be launched by UK burger chain on 24th April...

Hi everyone,

Its in the news today that UK chain Byron launches its first ever vegan burger so here's the story from Plant based news:

I love how the company say they are offering a vegan burger... in a bid to cater to 'the UK's increasingly diverse dining scene'...this means they are chasing the vegan pound...LOL. 😊

This is a sign of the times, which is fantastic - more people turning Vegan. I must say though if your an animal lover, figthing for animal rights why would you give your hard earned money to an organisation who are making profits from the mis treatment/slaughter of animals.

That's a good point and it's a dilemma I always have when eating out - whether to support a purely vegan place or not.

Well that is a tricky one, me and my partner have this debate but as there are not many solely vegan restaurants you are better to go into Byron burger and order from their vegan option imo than go to somewhere that doesn’t cater for the vegan diet and Cobble up some meal from their side dishes etc without mentioning you are vegan. Hopefully in the not too distant future there will be more vegan restaurants out there. In my experience a restaurant that is vegan or vegan/vegetarian is always rammed and you can’t get a table so there is obviously a growing demand for more vegan restaurants.

I just tried it - and it was good

It wasn't planned, I was just rambling home the long way and passed a byron and remembered about the new burger
