Clareโ€™s original review

Ah, @beyondmeat , we โ€˜meatโ€™ again ๐Ÿ” (Invite)

Big news: @allbarone is now serving the BM patty in all of its UK restaurants ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง This is huge news, meaning that an exciting vegan option is now available to vegans, non-vegans & vegan curious alike ๐ŸŒฑ

Not sure if Iโ€™ve mentioned it before (๐Ÿ˜œ) but I bloominโ€™ love the BM patty and props to the restaurant chain for adding this to their menu ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ but I personally would change a few things.

As always, this feedback comes from a place of love and wanting to make the vegan option as appealing and accessible as possible โ™ฅ๏ธ Firstly, the burger and chips combo costs ยฃ15 which is frankly unaffordable ๐Ÿ˜” It costs more than any of the other meat burgers on the menu and considerably more than @honestburgers ๐Ÿ’ฐ The price needs to be reduced in order for people to want to try it, and I REALLY want people to want to try it ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

๐Ÿ” The seeded bun: Wasnโ€™t quite right for me. Iโ€™m not a fan of dense buns with burgers as they take away from the texture of the patty. This was too thick and also much bigger than the patty which meant a few bites were just bread & sauce

๐Ÿ” @beyondmeat patty: Delicious as always but perhaps a tad overcooked

๐Ÿ” The BBQ sauce had a nice bit of heat but was too sugary sweet. Something a bit more smokey wouldโ€™ve been perfect ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ There was also so much that it overpowered the flavour of the patty, less is more in this case

๐Ÿง€ The vegan cheese was shredded so I didnโ€™t really notice it was there. I think a slice would work better .

๐Ÿฅฌ Like a crunchy lettuce leaf but it was huuuge and wouldโ€™ve been better shredded

๐Ÿ… Tomato didnโ€™t add anything

๐Ÿ” The sweet white sauce (was it some kind of mayo?) didnโ€™t do it for me

๐Ÿฅ’ Gherkin was a great addition but would work better in slices .

Let me know if any of you try it and what you think! ๐Ÿ” ๐Ÿ“ธ @emsharp24

The lovely team were kind enough to invite me and gave me this food on a complimentary basis. No payment was received and all opinions, as always, are honest and my own.
