UK restaurant chain Frankie & Benny’s has added seven new vegan options due to the ‘great success’ of a new plant-based selection introduced earlier this year.

The Italian-American restaurant diner, which has 250 sites across the UK, has added to an existing 15 vegan dishes to bring the total to 22 plant-based options.

The new dishes include a Full English Breakfast (£6.29) or Vegan Scrambled Eggs (£5.59).

For anyone looking for an indulgent vegan option, Frankie & Benny’s has introduced a Viva La Vegan Cheeseburger (£10.49), Vegan Cheese Fries (£4.99) and Vegan Loaded Skins (£5.49).

Or to round off a plant-based dining experience customers can go for a Vegan No-Cheesecake (£5.79) or a Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake (£2.99).

Anyone wanting to try the new range will have to wait until May 14, when the dishes will be rolled out across Frankie & Benny’s restaurants.

‘Great success of vegan range’

Frankie & Benny’s Head of Food Development, Holly Davies, said in a statement: “This spring we are really excited to be introducing the types of dishes that our customers have been asking for as they tell us that they want to see more of our Italian American heritage on the menu.

“In addition, following the great success of our extensive vegan range launched in January, we now look to focus in on the dishes that our guests have really loved, creating further ways for them to enjoy every aspect of our menu across every day; including our new breakfast vegan fry up and the launch of our incredibly indulgent vegan loaded fries and vegan cheesecake.

“We are really looking forward to our guests reaction to this new menu as it is the first of many exciting new ideas that we plan to put in front of them this year.”
