Burger King plant-based restaurant

Commenting on news that Burger King has announced its first ever completely meat-free restaurant in the UK, with a month-long pilot takeover at the Leicester Square flagship restaurant, Louisa Casson, Head of Food & Forests at Greenpeace UK, said:

“This move from Burger King is a tangible step towards their meat reduction commitment. It’s good to see they’ve responded to both public demand and scientific calls to offer a more meat-free menu, with wider and better choice for Burger King customers.

“But the speed and scale at which climate-critical forests across Brazil and South America are being decimated by meat production means we need action from other businesses too. And not just trials in select restaurants, but across our high streets nationwide. All restaurants and supermarkets need to urgently shift their whole business models to reduce meat and dairy – and crucially they need to drop forest destroying meat companies from their supply chain too.”
