Each bowl contains eight Quorn chicken pieces (made from mycoprotein) alongside a Korean-inspired sauce, coriander, and chilis. It’s served with either chips or coconut rice.
Wetherspoon confirmed to Plant Based News that the new dish will only be available for a limited time. It costs £8.49 with any soft drink and £10.02 with any alcoholic drink.
Established in 1979, Wetherspoon operates more than 900 locations across the UK. This dish is the latest in a long line of vegan releases from the company. Wetherspoon was one of the first UK food chains to publicly embrace veganism, unveiling a Sweet Potato, Chickpea & Spinach Curry back in 2016. In 2020, it started stocking Beyond Meat. Now, it offers an extensive and popular vegan menu.
