Honest Burgers to launch fully vegan burger restaurant, V Honest

British burger chain Honest burgers is launching a new concept restaurant, and it’s fully vegan.

The restaurant, named V Honest, will open in January in Covent Gardens and will offer an extensive range of vegan burgers, sauces, and sides.

Along with the new restaurant opening at 17 Garrick Street, V Honest burgers will be available from delivery-only kitchens across London.

Of the launch, Honest Burgers co-founder Tom Barton said, “Since we launched our first vegan and flexitarian burgers at Honest back in 2018, we’ve seen them go from strength to strength.

“But we just don’t have space in our Honest Burgers kitchens to put more plant-based burgers on the menu so we felt the best thing to do was to give them a home of their own.

“V Honest is that home and it gives us the chance to spend even more time developing brand new burgers, collaborations and showcasing some of the best vegan food in the country.”

What’s on the menu at V Honest?

V Honest will offer vegan takes on the brand’s classic Honest, Tribute and Chilli burgers, so ex meat-eaters who used to enjoy these burgers can get their old favourites back in their lives.

Alongside veganised versions of Honest Burger favourites, V Honest will offer some creative new burgers, including:

• Buffalo: Fried chick’n, buffalo sauce, Applewood Vegan cheese, ranch mayo, lettuce and pickles.
• Teriyaki: Plant burger, Applewood Vegan cheese, pulled shiitake mushrooms, teriyaki sauce, grilled peppers, spring onions, umami mayo and lettuce.
• Pesto: Fried chick’n, basil pesto, mustard mayo, tomato and rocket.

V Honest’s classic burgers can be made gluten-free by swapping in a gluten-free bun. Customers can also choose to add rashers of THIS Isn’t Bacon to enhance their classic burgers.

Each order comes with Honest’s signature homemade rosemary salted chips, and there’s a selection of mouth-watering extras to add on.

Customers can choose from a variety of sauces to amp up their meals, including chipotle mayo and umami mayo (made with vegan mayo from Honest’s friends and food waste pioneers Rubies in the Rubble), and bacon ketchup made from scratch with THIS Isn’t Bacon.

There are also three all-vegan, gluten-free sides: crunchy and fresh seasonal coleslaw, fiery buffalo tenders with Frank’s RedHot sauce (served with vegan ranch mayo and shoestring fries), and pulled shiitake mushroom nuggets.

Coming soon to Honest Burgers

Launching for Veganuary, all Honest Burgers locations will be offering the Teriyaki Plant burger, in collaboration with premium plant-based brand Fable Food Co.

The new burger features a plant-based burger patty with Fable pulled shiitake mushrooms, teriyaki sauce, Applewood vegan cheese, grilled peppers, umami mayo and lettuce for a decadent sweet-and-savoury burger that packs an umami punch.

We can expect to see both Honest Burgers and V Honest continue to offer creative, limited-edition burger collaboration specials, showcasing emerging talent among plant-based suppliers, chefs and traders throughout 2022 and beyond.
