Subway has recently made an announcement about its menu - and it's good news for fans of the Meatless Meatball Marinara.
The plant-based sandwich was introduced to customers as a limited time offer during Veganuary 2020.
But now the fast food chain has announced the meat-free marinara will be a permanent fixture on Subway's menu.
The decision was made following its unprecedented sales success which saw the sandwich rank amongst Subway's five best sellers - Chicken Teriyaki, Italian BMT, Spicy Tuna, Spicy Italian and the original iconic Meatball Marinara.
Subway also reported that the sandwich was hit with fans across social media with one Twitter user posting: "Without a doubt the BEST food I’ve had since turning veggie."
The 469 calorie Meatless Meatball Marinara is made from plant-based meatballs covered in a marinara sauce and topped with vegan cheese.
Colin Hughes, country director Subway UK & Ireland, said: “Our guests have told us how much they love our Meatless Meatball Marinara.
"Now they can get their hands on our delicious plant-based Sub whenever they want, made however they want, whenever they want.
"All in the knowledge that at Subway, they now have even more delicious vegan options than ever.”
The American privately held restaurant franchise also followed this news with a second announcement.
The brand has decided to expend its delivery reach across the UK.
In a statement, Subway wrote: "You can now enjoy the Meatless Meatball Marinara without even having to leave the house.
"Subway has expanded it’s delivery roll-out via UberEats and Just Eat partnerships to even more stores across the UK and Ireland."
