Harvester launches new vegan menu


Mitchels & Butlers-owned Harvester chain will be launching a new vegan menu across nearly 200 restaurants this month.

The family dining brand, that road tested vegan options in 2017, said the new menu “marks the first time a major national restaurant brand of this kind (casual dining) and size has launched such an extensive vegan offering”.

The new vegan dishes include a selection of burgers ,such as Beyond Bean Burger - a vegan bean burger topped with Violife 'cheese', and Moving Mountains’ B12 Burger - a plant-based patty for diners who prefer a patty that mimics the taste and texture of meat.

Also, diners can enjoy Jamaican-style Katsu Curry, which comes topped with breaded aubergine, sweet potato and cauliflower with golden rice, beans and a flatbread.

To finish, the new desserts include Vegan Sundae Best - vegan vanilla ice-cream, drizzled with either Belgian chocolate, raspberry or strawberry sauce; Chocolate Orange Slice - a brownie base with chocolate & orange mousse; Blackcurrant Mousse – mousse on a light biscuit base with dairy-free vanilla ice cream, and Creamy Coconut & Black Cherry Rice Pudding – slow-cooked coconut milk rice pudding served with black cherry compote.
