This costs £3.75.
This is a bit odd as the mango sauce is very liquidy and the banana are hidden at the bottom of the bowl. It also has blueberries, dried coconut and granola.

This costs £4.50. It has sweet potato falafel, pickled red cabbage, cucumbers, red peppers, pomegranate and pumpkin seeds, mixed leaves, humous, a large wedge of lemon and a small pot of vinaigrette.
The lemon wedge took up a lot of space in the bowl, and the pickled cabbage was overflowing between the lid and the container.
It tasted ok but wasn’t anything special.

I got this for 99p via the McDonald’s app. The normal price is £2.99 (except on Mondays, when it is “wrap of the day” and is £1.99.
This is 2 normal veggie dippers, in a white wrap, with a spicy tomato salsa/sauce, lettuce, sliced tomato and red onion.
The wrap was a bit doughy, but the filling was tasty – despite some of it falling out of the end during eating.

I tried my second one of these. This time I tried it untoasted with onion, sweetcorn and cucumber with extra ketchup on wheat bread.
Despite the marinara topping supposedly being kept warm over a hot Bain-Marie water bath, it was barely warm.
The extra ketchup helped country the lack of marinara sauce and the vegetables made it taste healthier.

Gregg’s – Vegan Doughnuts
These are 60p each or you can get a box of 2 for £1.
This is a glazed ring doughnut, and it doesn’t taste notably different to other glazed ring doughnuts with a slightly sweet sticky, gooey glazed coating.

This smaller version costs £2.40, and you can get bread for an extra 60p.
It smells smoky like barbecue sauce and has lots of sweetcorn kernels in it which are the main thing you can taste.

Greggs – Vegan Steak Bake
The price for this currently very popular (and hence hard to find) dish is £1.55.
As with the Greggs sausage roll, it has a lattice top to help identify it, but the inside is dark Quorn, with onions, gravy and seasoning.
Personally, I prefer dishes with more vegetables in them, but I understand Greggs want this to closely mirror their meaty steak bake.
It tastes nice and no animals are harmed to make the dish.

The normal cost of this is £14.95 (it is cheaper to have a classic base rather than Romana base. I had converted Tesco Clubcard vouchers into Pizza Express ones to save money.
It is a very large and thin base which as slightly soggy due to the tomato sauce. The mushrooms are large, and it tastes good as a step up from the more basic margarita.

Burger King – Veggie Burger
I got this for a reduced price of £1.99 via the Burger King app. The normal price of £4.49.
This is the only officially vegetarian burger available at Burger King as the Rebel Whopper is cooked with regular Whoppers causes cross-contamination.
This had 2 small spicy bean burger patties, 2 slices of tomato, 2 slices of processed cheese, lettuce and ketchup in a long sesame seeds bun.
The bun was a bit dry, and it took a while as they had a lot of orders for the veggie burger. As it had 2 separate patties next to each other, it made it a bit difficult to eat as the contents kept falling out.

McDonalds – Cheese Dippers
I got these free with the McDonalds app. The normal price is £1.69.
You get 4 nugget sized dippers in a bag, along with a dipping pot of spicy tomato sauce.
The dippers have melted cheese inside and have a crunchy coating.
They are described as a side and are not very filling on their own.
