Liverpool– In collaboration with PETA, award-winning kebab chain Great British Doner (GBD) is celebrating World Kebab Day (10 July) by going completely meat-free at two of its locations. The popular chain – known for creating the first-ever vegan doner on a spit – will offer exclusively vegan food at its Manchester and Liverpool sites, with the first 25 customers at each location receiving a free vegan kebab and 20% off all food for the day. The discount will continue for a week, making it easy for customers to try the vegan option.
“We’ve always believed vegan isn’t a compromise, it’s the future”, says GBD owner Mehmet Nezir Korkut. “We’re delighted to team up with PETA to flip the script on World Kebab Day. No meat, no compromise, just seriously good food. If you think a kebab needs meat, come down and let us change your mind.”
“GBD continues to lead the way in creating mouth-watering kebabs that are kind to animals, better for the planet, and bursting with flavour,” says PETA Vice President of Vegan Projects Dawn Carr. “PETA is delighted to team up with GBD for World Kebab Day to show customers just how delicious compassionate eating can be.”
In today’s meat, egg, dairy, and fishing industries, cows are forcibly separated from their beloved calves, chickens’ throats are cut while they’re still conscious, piglets’ tails are docked without painkillers, and fish are cut open while they’re still alive. PETA notes that vegan foods have a smaller carbon footprint, while the meat and dairy industries are top producers of the greenhouse gases that contribute to the climate catastrophe. Eating vegan also lowers a person’s risk of developing heart disease and certain types of cancer. PETA offers free vegan starter kits for anyone looking to make the switch.
In Liverpool, the shop is located at 28 Bold Street, and is open from 12pm to 12am Sunday through Thursday, and from 12pm to 4am Friday and Saturday.
