Introduction
Welcome, fellow foodies and plant-based enthusiasts! London has always been a delightful hub of culinary adventures, and in recent times, the city’s food landscape has seen a scrumptious transformation with the growing popularity of veganism. Who knew that the world of plant-based options would extend even to fast-food giants like Burger King? Get ready to embark on a delectable journey as we explore the mouth-watering realm of “The Burger King Menu For Vegan’s In London.”
1. The Growing Popularity of Veganism
1.1 Embracing a Plant-Based Lifestyle
Picture this: A world where vegans reign supreme, and animals rejoice in their newfound sanctuary status. That’s the dream of countless individuals who have wholeheartedly embraced the vibrant and compassionate lifestyle of veganism. It’s not just about the food; it’s about making a difference—one cruelty-free meal at a time!
1.2 The Vegan Movement in London
Londoners have a knack for starting trends, and the vegan movement is no exception. From plant-based cafes popping up like mushrooms (the friendly, non-edible kind!) to ethical fashion statements, the city has embraced compassion with open arms. No wonder London is a hotspot for vegans and a place where herbivores can easily find a slice of vegan heaven!
1.3 Rise in Demand for Vegan Fast Food
Gone are the days of lackluster vegan options at fast-food joints. Hungry vegans rejoice as the demand for scrumptious plant-based fast food surges. But hey, it’s not just about vegans; even the meat lovers are curiously venturing into this lip-smacking world of cruelty-free delights. Who knew that vegan fast food could bring people together in such a delicious way?
2. Burger King Menu & It’s Vegan Journey
2.1 Introduction of Vegan Options
Hold onto your kale chips, folks, as we dive into Burger King’s epic vegan journey. It all began when the people at BK decided to open their hearts (and kitchens) to all the herbivores out there. We’re talking about more than just a token salad here. Brace yourself for some serious vegan Burger King awesomeness!
2.2 Collaboration with Plant-Based Brands
Burger King joined forces with plant-based pioneers to craft the perfect vegan patty—a flavor-packed masterpiece that could give any meat burger a run for its money. The result is the best vegan burger you’ll ever try. A juicy, mouthwatering sensation that even carnivores admit is a game-changer. Kudos, BK, for making plant-based pals!
2.3 Customer Response and Impact
Drumroll, please! The vegan community and even curious non-vegans have showered Burger King with love for its compassionate choices. The public are even going as far as to say that Burger King vegan burgers are miles better than the KFC vegan burger or MacDonalds vegan burger. Shocking right? So with every plant-based Whopper served at Burger King, the fast-food giant takes one step closer to creating a greener, kinder food industry. We salute you, vegan Burger King & the Caavakushi team think they might just be one of the best vegan burger joints in London! But with that said from what we’ve seen they also have a lot of improving to do. BK might actually be hiding some vital information from the public which we’ll get into it now.
3. Exploring the Burger King Menu For Vegan’s
3.1 The Signature Plant-Based Whopper
Behold, the king of vegan burgers—the iconic plant-based Whopper! Sink your teeth into a succulent plant-based patty, topped with fresh veggies and a dollop of vegan mayo. Prepare to be mind-blown as this burger reigns supreme with its explosion of flavours. It’s a true masterpiece that’ll have you saying, “Holy Guacamole!” But all may not be as it seems When it comes to this supposedly plant-based burger.
3.1.1 Plant-Based Whopper
This mouthing watering burger comes in three versions and the first is the classic Plant-Based Whopper. So let’s take a quick look under the hood. This bad boy is a flame-grilled plant-based burger, finished off with tomatoes, new cut lettuce, vegan mayonnaise, a few pickles, a squirt of ketchup, and chopped onions on a delicate sesame seed bun.
But sadly even though the Plant-Based Whopper uses only plant-based ingredients, it might not meet vegan standards. That’s because it’s cooked on the exact same broiler as their beef Whopper. They claim to do this in order to provide their customers with the same special flame-grilled taste. How very disappointing burger king.
3.1.2 Plant-Based Whopper Cheeeze
Yeh, you guessed it. This one comes with cheese or as the vegan friendly Burger King menu likes to say cheeeze. This cheesy delight has all the same ingredients as the regular Plant-Based Whopper but this time they added one or two slices of vegan cheese to the mix. Once again the ingredients are all plant-based but the burger is cooked on the same broiler as their beef Whopper. So that rules this “Plant-Based Burger” off the menu for a lot of hangry vegans.
3.1.3 Plant-Based Whopper Cheeeze & BaKon
Now this variation actually has two extra ingredients that differ from the original Plant-Based Whopper. We’ll give you a clue. It’s all in the name. Yep you’ve got it, vegan cheeeze & vegan BaKon. So it all sounds great, apart from the fact that this too is made on the same broiler as their beef Whopper. Honestly Burger King we know you can do better. This is a no brainer. Just get a separate broiler for your vegan options and while your at it add some more plant-based options to your menu too! The Caavakushi team solves another one of the worlds hardest problems. It’s not that difficult to get a vegan burger right. Chop! Chop! Get to it Burger King! We’re all waiting.
3.2 The Vegan Royale
If you’re in the mood for something a little bit more crispier with a crunch, this might just be the vegan burger you want to try. This was certainly the favourite amongst the Caavakushi team. How could it not be, right? Each bite is packed with plant-based deliciousness. Don’t worry, this time they actually got it right. It’s 100% vegan and comes in three variations.
3.2.1 The Regular Vegan Royale
Guess what this one is actually certified by the Vegan Society themselves. That sounds very official. It’s made with a crispy crunchy vegan patty. The Vegan Royale also contains iceberg lettuce, a smidge of vegan mayonnaise and is housed neatly inside a toasted sesame seed bun. But you got to be careful as the website does mention that vegan meals come with regular fries and bottled water or Capri-Sun. Which is all okay until they state that modifications can result in a non-vegan meal. So it looks like us vegans will just have to keep our wits about us when ordering food at Burger King.
3.2.2 Vegan Royale With Cheeeze
This burger just so happens to be a carbon copy of the regular Vegan Royale but this time they’ve added some vegan cheeeze. We don’t know about you but it really don’t feel like a burger without vegan cheese, does it? The plant-based cheese gives the burger that soft, creamy texture. The Vegan Royale With Cheeeze was the Caavakushi teams top pick of the three Vegan Royal options. This burger is once again stamped with the Vegan Society’s seal of approval. But just remember not to make any changes to your meal as it could end up turning into a non-vegan nightmare.
3.2.3 Vegan Royale BaKon King
This fully loaded burger is perfect for those who love vegan BaKon. It consists of the burger King Vegan Royale patty wrapped up inside a soft sesame bun, with sizzling vegan BaKon, two slices of vegan cheese, plus egg-free vegan mayonnaise and ketchup. It’s 100% Vegan according to the Vegan Society. Beware and proceed with caution as making substitutions to your meal might not work out the way you thought it would. One wrong step and your meal might not end up being vegan at all.
3.3 The Plant-Based King BaKon
This is a vegan BaKon lovers paradise. Have you tried this delightful plant-based BaKon burger? We think that you’ll most certainly be hooked once this epic creation touches your tongue. It’s every plant-based BaKon lovers fantasy come true. But to be sure to read the fine print if you’re vegan.
3.3.1 Plant-Based BaKon King
It’s another flame-grilled plant-based WHOPPER masterpiece from Burger King. The patty used in the Plant-Based BaKon King is their classic Whopper. Inside the bun we have a few layers of sliced vegan cheeeze and some sizzling strips of vegan BaKon. The two sauces that bring this burger to life are the egg-free mayonnaise and ketchup. It’s a lot packed into one burger.
Unfortunately Burger King has run into the same problem when it comes to this burger. The Plant-based Bakon King is definitely made with vegan ingredients. But like the Plant-Based Whopper it is cooked on the same broiler as the beef Whopper. Just like before they claim they’ve done this to keep the same consistent flame-grilled taste across all their grilled products. That means it’s not very vegan and not certified by the vegan society either. What a shame Burger King. Please do better when it comes to your vegan burgers.
3.3.1 Plant-Based BaKon King Double
This one’s basically the same as the Plant-Based BaKon King, but it’s the supersized version. It comes with an impressive four slices of vegan cheeeze and two flame-grilled plant-based whopper patties.
You guessed it once again. This burger is not 100% vegan and does not carry the stamp of approval from the vegan society. The inconsistency in the vegan/plant-based burgers available on the Burger King menu is wild.
The Caavakushi team couldn’t figure out how they are managing to pass half their vegan products of as plant-based options on their menu. This feels like false advertising to us. If vegans have to read the small print to figure out that the so-called plant-based burger they’re about to purchase is not vegan then something isn’t right. It just doesn’t seem like they’ve delivered what they’ve promised in their plant-based range. It sounds a lot more like misinformation and contradiction.
We truly hope for the sake of all vegans in London that they sought this problem out. Hopefully they make all the plant base products 100% vegan in the very near future.
3.4 Delicious Vegan Sides
Who said sides couldn’t steal the spotlight? Burger King has a lineup of vegan sides that’ll make your taste buds dance with joy. Crispy Vegan Fries, lovingly seasoned and golden-brown, are a must-try. And for those craving something slightly different, their vegan nuggets are the real deal!
3.4.1 Crispy Vegan Fries
Prepare yourself for fry-volution! Burger King’s crispy salted thick cut Vegan Fries are a symphony of crunch and flavour that’ll leave you in a fry-induced trance. Oh, and did we mention they’re perfect for dipping into a pool of tangy vegan ketchup or the Caavakushi teams personal favourite Nando’s vegan mayonnaise! We just thought you should know that these tasty fries are 100% vegan society approved.
3.4.2 Vegan Nuggets
We don’t know about you, but most of the Caavakushi team just have to have vegan nuggets with their plant based burger and fries. It’s without a shadow of a doubt, one of the best combinations in the fast food game. The Caavakushi team suggests adding a bit of spice to the Burger King 100% vegan nuggets. Have faith in us and you will not be disappointed. Dipping your vegan nuggets into some fiery Heartbeat Hot Sauce which is packed with red habanero peppers will blow your mind! This combo is mind altering and easily raises the vegan nuggets from 8/10 to 10/10 in seconds. The hotter the better!
3.4.3 Are Burger Kings Onion Rings Vegan?
We wanted to enter the “ring” with what the Caavakushi team thought were vegan onion rings. Unfortunately our imagination got the better of us. The onion rings seem to be cooked in the same oil as chicken and fish. Come on Burger King couldn’t you have used the same oil as you did for the fries? It would have created one more vegan option on your menu. Hearing this terrible news has probably gone and made a lot of vegans angry. But we do have hope that BK will one day serve these as 100% vegan delectable golden beauties (onion rings). But for now their onion rings are a no go zone for the vegan community.
3.5 Vegan Drinks
Once again, unfortunately Burger King has let us vegans down. This time it is in the drinks department. But don’t fret. It’s not all bad news. Although they do have a few staple fast food drink options available for the vegans we think it’s simply not enough. Burger King seems as though you’ve drop the ball again. You did so well with the fries and nuggets please don’t stop now.
The Caavakushi team were especially disappointed when it came to the hot drinks. But nothing comes close to how they felt about the BK soft drink options. The team were in total disbelief to find that there was not one vegan fizzy drink option on the entire menu. Burger King how can that be? Apparently the only three vegan friendly drinks on Burger King’s menu are bottled water, capri Sun orange juice and capri Sun blackcurrant and apple. We’re sorry but that is just not good enough. Also, please help us understand how the fizzy drinks were made non vegan. It’s just mind boggling to us.
How do you feel about their vegan drinks options? Are you as unsatisfied as we are?
3.6 Tempting Vegan Desserts
Time for some sweet talk! Burger King has a delightful array of desserts but unfortunately they’re only available on the USA menu. In fact, there’s no desserts for non-vegans either on Burger King’s London menus. So for now it looks like Londoners sugar cravings will not be satisfied. We suggest tweeting Burger King UK and letting them know you want to see some vegan dessert options on their UK menus and you might just end up getting them to add some vegan treats to the London menus. Don’t worry if you’ve got a sweet tooth and love vegan chocolate our post 5 Vegan Chocolate Gift Options For Valentine’s Day has some amazingly delicious plant-based chocolate options.

But the Caavakushi team are optimistic that this is only the beginning. They need to get their act together and put an end to using the same broiler as they use for the meat burgers. We hope to see Burger adding vegan dessert options and more plant-based sides to their menu in the near future. Don’t you?
