All Bar One proves plant power is here to stay

All Bar One has announcedthat it will be extending the residency of its pop up vegan menu due to unprecedented demand for its plant-based dishes.

The menu, consisting of nine vegan dishes, was launched on the 1st of January in partnership with Veganuary, the global charity encouraging people to embrace the Vegan lifestyle for January. It was initially launched for January but has been so popular with the currentAll Bar One guests and the vegan community that the bar chain has decided to extend the menu throughout February.

All Bar One is always looking at trends and changes in behaviours to ensure their menu fits with new and changing lifestyles. Its partnership with Veganuary demonstrates it is continuing to develop its menu to satisfy a growing demand for different lifestyles such as Veganism. It is this innovative attitude that has meant All Bar One remains one of the UKs most popular bars.

Michael Duffy, Marketing Manager at All Bar One commented:

‘The feedback we received from the new vegan friendly menu has been extremely positive and we’re really pleased that we are reaching new audiences and continuing to impress our regular All Bar One guests. With one in four of our guests now being a vegetarian or vegan, we created the pop up menu in partnership with Veganuary to serve this increased demand for plant-based dishes.”

All Bar One received over 500 messages across its social media channels requested the menu remain a permanent fixture on the All Bar One menu. All Bar One has doubled the number of Vegan menu items it usually sells, and is expecting this trend to continue into February.
