German Doner Kebab Partners With The Vegetarian Butcher UK To Elevate Vegetarian And Plant-Based Kebab Menu
German Doner Kebab (GDK) has partnered with Europe’s leading meat alternative brand, The Vegetarian Butcher, to introduce a new and improved recipe across all of GDK’s vegetarian and plant-based kebab offerings.
Available across all UK branches, GDK’s OV Kebab Vegetarian and OV Kebab Plant-Based dishes now use The Vegetarian Butcher’s NoChicken Chunks designed to deliver the taste, texture and versatility of real chicken. To bring a true GDK experience, the NoChicken Chunks are infused with the same signature blend of seasonings used in GDK’s doner kebab and served with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, onions and red cabbage, nestled in a handmade toasted sesame waffle bread with GDK’s three signature sauces. Vegetarian guests can also choose NoChicken Chunks as a choice of protein and fibre across a number of GDK’s most popular dishes.
The Vegetarian Butcher’s products are made using soy and have a 70% lower global warming impact, 53% lower land use and 3% lower water consumption impact compared to chicken*, while offering nutritional benefits like comparable protein levels, lower saturated fat and more fibre.
Simon Colthorpe, Chief Marketing Officer at The Vegetarian Butcher UK, said: "The best way to win over meat lovers is by showing them they don't have to sacrifice meat. This partnership is another step forward on our mission to serve meat lovers the flavours and textures they know and love. With its juicy bite and flavoursome taste, the new plant-based Kebab delivers everything fans expect. Many meat lovers may not even taste the difference.”
Chris Waters, Chief Marketing Officer at GDK says: “We’re delighted to be working with The Vegetarian Butcher to take our plant-based menu offering to the next level. We are both aligned on our desire to offer innovative product development and deliver plant-based food experiences that truly provide quality and flavour to customers.”
The updated GDK vegetarian and plant-based kebabs are now available to purchase across the UK and will remain on the menu indefinitely.
