SERVE UP THE ULTIMATE MEAT-FREE TREAT FOR NATIONAL VEGETARIAN WEEK

This week marks the 31st anniversary of the increasingly popular National Vegetarian Week, with meat-free diets becoming the key focus of the UK food service agenda.

Increasing in popularity for meat-eaters looking for a more balanced diet, the National Vegetarian Week aims to show to communities and schools across the UK that meat-free alternatives can be a vibrant and exciting eating experience.

With this in mind, we’re here to help food businesses make the perfect Meat Free Monday or Chicken’less Tuesday with our award-winning Original Vegan Chick’n Strips – we promise, you won’t find a tastier meat-free chicken strip on the market.

A chicken alternative like no other!

Meadow Vale Foods’ Original Vegan Chick’n Strips have gone from strength to strength in 2022, giving caterers a seriously tasty, highly versatile meat-free option that can be used in multiple menu applications, from a crunchy hot dog to a tasty taco or refreshing salad!

The strips offer a high-quality meat-free alternative that imitates the taste, texture and appeal of our highly popular hand cut, hand coated Homestyle Breaded Chicken Strips. We took everything that makes Meadow Vale chicken so delicious… and recreated it using flattened pea protein.

The quality is all in the strip… simply heat and serve! The caterer can save time, waste and money as the strips offer quick cook times in a variety of methods, straight from the freezer. What’s more, the product performs great when hot held, as the coating stays crunchy for longer and the core stays succulent for up to two hours, making it perfect for takeaway and delivery.

High in protein and a great source of iron, pea protein is a great fit for any diet, as it is naturally vegan and hypoallergenic.

Like many of our tender chicken strips, the protein is hand cut and coated in our signature Meadow Vale batter, making it extremely difficult to separate the meat-free from the meat… Trust us, we’ve tried!
