London Burger King Tries Meatless Menu for a Month

May 4, 2022 — Burger King went with a meatless menu for a month at its flagship storefront in Leicester Square, London, apparently to verify the general public’s urge for food for no-meat quick meals.

The restaurant tried the experiment from March 14 to April 10. An unnamed UK Burger King spokesperson referred to as the experiment a hit, with traces wrapped across the block with vegetarians, vegans, and even some meat-eaters, Tasting Table reported.

Burger King has been providing a plant-based Whopper for a number of years. For the London trial run, the restaurant added dishes comparable to a Vegan Katsu Royale, meals topped with plant-based variations of cheese and bacon, and vegan variations of French fries, onion rings, nuggets, cheese bites, and ice cream, Tasting Table stated.

The Leicester Square restaurant has gone again to its regular menu, however Burger King could introduce a number of the extra fashionable meatless gadgets to different Burger Kings.

Many different fast-food chains are including vegan or meatless choices to their menus in response to buyer demand. UK Burger King has stated it hopes to make 50% of its menu meatless by 2030, The Guardian reported.

James Lewis, who works in advertising and marketing and product growth for a London vegan restaurant, instructed The Guardian that Burger King’s experiment displays the general public’s embrace of vegetarianism. The meatless menu will enchantment to a variety of people that aren’t vegan or vegetarian to start with, he stated.

“We call [the vegan burger] a gateway dish, something someone is easily familiar with,” he instructed The Guardian.

Lewis stated fast-food chains will in all probability go vegan prior to individuals might imagine.

“There’s no point starting a vegan chain because once McDonald’s figures out how to make a good vegan burger, they will think: ‘What’s the point in the cost of keeping all these animals when we can make it just as good and grow it in the ground?’” he stated.

“Not too long from now, people will be getting their burger and it’ll be a vegan one and that’ll be the norm and they won’t think any different.”
