NEW OPENING: The vegan fast food restaurant serving up mouthwatering burgers and shakes

The Northern Quarter will this week be welcoming a new plant-based restaurant complete with authentic burgers, mac ‘n’ cheese and shakes.

The Vurger Co. was born after its founders Neil and Rachel discovered a whole new wave of plant-based living in California, which they found helped to tackle Neil’s debilitating stomach issues.

They set up a market stall in North London in 2016 and quickly began taking their concept to a wider audience at various events, pop ups and festivals.

Two years later, they opened their first restaurant in Shoreditch, with venues in Canary Wharf and Brighton soon following.

But now it’s time for The Vurger Co’s first venture up North, with their brand new Manchester restaurant opening this week.

Its fourth venue comes as part of Tib Street’s Transmission House development, and will be the largest and most ambitious project to date, with over fifty covers available seven days a week.

On the menu, diners can expect all of The Vurger Co’s favourites, including The New York Melt, featuring a Beyond Meat patty, double vegan cheese, gherkins, tomato, and house made burger sauce. 

Another menu highlight is The Hunny ‘Chicken’, a burger made up with homemade vegan honey, The Vurger Co’s very own chicken patty, honey mustard aioli, gherkins, all sandwiched within a fresh brioche.

Also on the menu will be salad bowls, plant-based mac ‘n’ cheese, ‘fauxzarella’ sticks, tater tots and fries.

Rachel Hugh, Co-Founder of The Vurger Co., said on the new opening: “This is a really exciting time for us at The Vurger Co.

“We’ve worked hard to establish ourselves in London & Brighton and can’t wait to be part of the thriving restaurant and food scene in Manchester, one of our favourite cities.

“Customers can expect amazing plant-based food, packed with texture and flavour that’s fun and delicious.”

Vurger Co. will be opening this Saturday, April 30th, at Unit 2, Transmission House, down Tib Street in the Northern Quarter.
