Subway – Meatless meetball marina (untoasted with toppings on wheat bread)

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.

McDonalds – Vegetable Deluxe

I got this for 99p via a special offer on the app. The regular price is £3.39.

It is 2 of their veggie dipper goujons inside a sesame seed bun with shredded lettuce and mayonnaise. There are no extra toppings or salad such as tomato, cucumber or onion and no ketchup, maki g it a bit dry. The fact there were 2 separate dippers, rather than a single patty in it made it harder to eat.

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.

Veggie Pret – Smoky Sweetcorn Chowder Side Soup

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.

Pizza Express – Funghi di Bosco Romana Pizza

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.

Leon – Vegan Chipotle Avocado Burger

The normal price if this is £5.95.

This is a spicy addition to the existing vegan options at Leon.

It was tasty and filling, but it was very messy to eat due to the height and the quantity of chipotle sauce and guacamole used. For the price, I would hope for something easier to finish without getting covered in sauce.

KFC – Original Recipie Vegan Burger

This is a new vegan offering from KFC. The normal price is £3.99.

It consists of a Quorn fillet coated in KFC’s secret recipe, chopped iceberg lettuce and vegan mayo in a sesame seed bun.

There wasn’t much of the mayo which made it taste slightly dry, but the filletbiselfvwas quite tasty.
