McDonalds vegan options
McDonald's hasn't quite caught up with the vegan hype, but it was just announced that the first ever vegan meal would soon be offered at the fast-food joint.
The veggie dippers meal - vegan nuggets served with chips and your choice of soft drink - is set for launch on 2 January 2020.
Animal rights charity PETA said that the new addition to the menu was "the very definition of a happy meal".
The dippers are made from rice, red peppers, vegan tomato pesto and split peas, and they're fried in breadcrumbs.

Nando's vegan options
While Nando's stresses that it's 'not a vegan restaurant', it does have options that can be made so on its menu. The most popular is the sweet potato and butternut pitta - but you'll have to ask for it without mayonnaise.
Nando's claims that it takes great care to separate the cooking of meat and veggie products, so you can be assured that there won't be cross-contamination.

Zizzi has a number of plant-based options - including vegan margherita with a choice of toppings and a delicious vegan lentil ragu.

No longer are Subway fans just limited to the salad-filled veggie delight sub - they are now offering a vegan patty to offer a bit more bite in your sandwich. Make sure you opt for the Italian or Hearty Italian bread, as these are both vegan.
