The chain launched its vegan menu across all the restaurants in the United Kingdom, in September 2018.[2] A new winter menu was launched in October 2015, with chefs spending one day at South Cheshire College preparing dishes for the chain’s new winter menu.[3]

Double Doughnut Controversy

The chain was criticised in November 2014, for introducing a new burger, the “Double Doughnut”, which at 1,996 calories, contained nearly 100% of the recommended daily energy intake, for adult women.

It also contains 53g of saturated fat (the recommended daily allowance is 20g for women, and 30g for men), and 8.2g of salt (recommended daily allowance for adults is 6g).[4]
