Bristol's vegans will soon be able to enjoy the world's first foot-long plant-based hot dog at a number of restaurants across the city.
Lounges restaurant group has teamed up with food tech company Moving Mountains to provide the 12-inch meal in 125 of its restaurants across the UK.
These include six in areas of Bristol such as Totterdown, Bedminster and Gloucester Road.
At 10 inches and 3cm in width, the Moving Mountains Hot Dog is larger than the average hot dog and will be available for £11.95.
It is served with a vegan Gouda cheese, fried onions, gherkins, tomatoes, pickled onions, American mustard and red pepper ketchup.
Simeon Van der Molen, founder of Moving Mountains, said it would appeal to even the most hardcore meat eaters.
“We’re delighted to partner with Lounges restaurant group to list our foot long hot dog," he said.
"Now, more consumers than ever can access Moving Mountains, giving consumers more innovative and high quality plant-based options when eating out that does not compromise on taste.”
Antony Bennett, head of food development at Loungers, added: “We’ve had lots of demand from customers for delicious plant-based options in our Lounges.
"The Moving Mountains jumbo Hot Dog is not only really delicious, it is also replicates a hot dog in every way and is created with natural ingredients including sunflower seeds.”
