Plant-Based Bacon, Chicken & Family Favourites

Vegan Bacon for Breakfasts & Beyond

Crispy, smoky and utterly moreish, today’s vegan bacon is a world away from the cardboard imitations of the past. La Vie’s smoked plant-based bacon and rashers are customer favourites for their authentic flavour, while VBites’ classic rashers crisp up beautifully in the pan. Perfect for full breakfasts, BLTs, carbonara, or crumbled over salads and soups.

Vegan Chicken for Curries, Stir-Fries & Wraps

From VBites Southern Fried Goujons and crunchy nuggets to Tofurky’s slow-roasted chick’n in barbeque and tikka masala flavours, our vegan chicken range makes weeknight cooking effortless. These plant-based chicken alternatives soak up marinades, hold their texture in sauces, and work anywhere you would use chicken - wraps, salads, curries, fajitas and more. Batch-cook on a Sunday and lunches are sorted for the week.

Sausages, Burgers & Deli Slices

Stock the fridge with VBites Lincolnshire and herby sausages, Taifun’s organic grill sausages and frankfurters, and VBites’ 60-second Evolution burgers for proper burger nights. For sandwiches and grazing boards, our vegan deli slices - including wafer-thin ham and sage & onion - make quick, protein-packed lunches easy.

Tofu, Tempeh & Seitan: Wholefood Plant Proteins

For minimally processed, wholefood protein, explore our tofu, tempeh and seitan range. Taifun’s organic tofu comes plain, smoked and pre-marinated in flavours like tikka masala and Korean chilli - just open and cook. Tempeh from Better Nature and Tiba brings a firm texture and nutty flavour that is brilliant in stir-fries, and Biona’s seitan pieces deliver a chewy, meaty bite with serious protein per serving. Pressed firm tofu crisps beautifully in the air fryer, smoked tofu is a sandwich hero straight from the pack, tempeh loves a sticky marinade and a hot pan, and seitan turns a simple stew into something properly hearty. New to jackfruit? Its pulled-pork texture makes it a slow-cook hero for BBQ dishes, tacos and curries.

High-Protein, Meat-Free Made Easy

One of the biggest myths about plant-based eating is that protein is hard to come by. In reality, most vegan meat alternatives are excellent protein sources: tempeh offers around 18-20g of protein per 100g, tofu 12-15g, and seitan up to 25g, while products like VBites burgers and sausages typically deliver 15-20g per serving. Plant-based meat is also naturally cholesterol-free and generally lower in saturated fat than animal meat - hearty, satisfying food that loves you back.

Roasts & Special Occasions

Sunday dinner is safe with us. VBites’ Turkey Style, Gamn and Beeph roasts slice beautifully, pair perfectly with roast potatoes, gravy and all the trimmings, and make a stunning centrepiece for Christmas, Easter or any gathering. Nobody at the table will feel like they are missing out - that is the whole point. Order ahead for peak dates like Christmas, when these deservedly popular centrepieces sell fast.

We stock premium brands including VBites, La Vie, Taifun, Better Nature and Tofurky, with nationwide UK delivery straight to your door.

Is vegan meat healthy?

Vegan meat alternatives are typically lower in saturated fat and cholesterol-free compared with animal meat, while being high in plant-based protein, often providing 12-22g per 100g. Our collection includes organic options and products made from whole foods such as tofu, tempeh and seitan. As part of a balanced diet, they can be a nutritious choice for everyday eating.

What is the best vegan bacon?

La Vie’s Smoked Plant-Based Bacon and Bacon Rashers are customer favourites for their authentic smoky flavour and crispy texture. VBites Original BCN Rashers also deliver excellent results. These plant-based bacons work perfectly for breakfast fry-ups, sandwiches, pasta carbonara or anywhere you would use traditional bacon.

Yes - we stock multiple vegan chicken alternatives, including VBites Southern Fried Goujons and Crunchy Dunkin’ Nuggets, Tofurky’s Slow Roasted Barbeque Chick’n and Chick’n Tikka Masala, and VBites Chkn Chunks and Slices. They work brilliantly in curries, stir-fries, wraps, salads and anywhere you would use chicken.

What is tofu and how do I cook it?

Tofu is a protein-rich food made from soybeans, and it is one of the most versatile ingredients in plant-based cooking. Our collection includes plain organic tofu for marinating yourself, pre-marinated varieties such as Tikka Masala, Korean Chilli and Smoked Paprika, smoked tofu for slicing, and silken tofu for smoothies and desserts. Press firm tofu, marinate it, then fry, bake or grill for the best results.

Is tempeh better than tofu?

They offer different benefits. Tempeh is fermented, making it easier to digest and higher in protein and fibre, with a nutty, earthy flavour and firmer texture. Tofu is milder and absorbs marinades beautifully. Try Better Nature’s Smoky Tempeh or Tiba Tempeh alongside Taifun’s flavoured tofu to discover your preference.

What vegan meat is high in protein?

Most vegan meat alternatives are excellent protein sources. Tempeh offers 18-20g of protein per 100g, tofu provides 12-15g, seitan delivers up to 20-25g, and products such as VBites burgers and sausages typically contain 15-20g per serving. These plant-based proteins can support muscle health and help you feel fuller without animal products.

Are vegan meat alternatives gluten-free?

Many options are naturally gluten-free, including tofu, tempeh and selected speciality products. However, seitan and wheat-based alternatives contain gluten. Always check individual product labels for allergen information - our tofu and tempeh ranges offer excellent gluten-free, high-protein alternatives.

What is jackfruit and how do I use it?

Young jackfruit develops a pulled-pork-like texture when cooked, making it perfect for barbecue dishes, tacos, curries and sandwiches. We stock Biona Organic Young Jackfruit, which absorbs marinades beautifully. Drain it, season it and cook it with your favourite sauces for an authentic pulled-meat texture without the meat.
