Neat Burger

A delicious, eco-friendly burger

Set up by a group of friends with a passion for vegan food, Neat Burger puts sustainability and flavour at the heart of what they do. Their dream was to create a great-tasting, eco-friendly burger that is also meat-free to provide customers with delicious vegan options that are just as desirable as those served at mainstream burger chains. To do so, they worked with American company Beyond Meat to develop their own unique patty. Ten months later, the chefs at Neat Burger had perfected their recipe. It uses natural colourings like beetroot and carrot, healthy proteins such as pea and rice, fibre from quinoa, chickpeas and potatoes and flavourings including onion, garlic and natural spice blends.

Growing at home and abroad

The first Neat Burger restaurant was established in 2019, in London’s bustling West End – the perfect place to attract a multicultural mix of food lovers. Within a few short years, they have expanded to nine different locations in the UK’s capital and have even opened vegan eateries abroad, in New York and Dubai. And their ambitions do not end there as they plan to open more Neat Burger outlets across Europe in the coming years.

A tasty menu

Whichever venue you choose, their luscious menu of carefully crafted vegan burgers, sides, desserts and other treats is made from fresh, plant-based ingredients. Their dishes are all produced without the addition of unhealthy preservatives or GMOs to give their customers an indulgent experience without compromising their health. The range is always being increased as well, a recent addition being the F!sh & Chip Butty as part of the company’s Burger of the Month option. Slight variations exist between the different countries that Neat Burger operates in, for example, US customers have a wider choice when it comes to hot dogs and sandwiches, while those in the UK have more burgers to choose from and the Dubai menu features Nachos and Quesadillas. Either way, there are plenty of tasty options for everyone.

Celebrity investors

One of the secrets to Neat Burger’s success is their ability to attract celebrity investors. On their website, the company lists an Oscar for Best Actor and 7 x Grand Prix Championships amongst their awards – an odd claim for a vegan burger restaurant. What they are referring to is their partnerships with actor and environmental activist Leonardo DiCaprio and vegan race-car driver Lewis Hamilton.

An award-winning, sustainable brand

Such celebrity backing is no doubt helpful, but it is the quality of the food at Neat Burger that really stands out. One of their other achievements is being voted Best Vegan Brand for 2020 and 2021 in Deliveroo’s Restaurant Awards, and GQ nominated them for a Sustainability Award in 2021 as a result of their work to make their operation as environmentally friendly as possible. To help reach their ambitious sustainability goals, they have established a series of collaborations with other climate-friendly companies. Carbon labelling group Klimato measures the carbon footprint of their food, and Packaging Environmental Ltd makes all of their packaging, from the biodegradable and heat-protective containers to the compostable cutlery. On top of this, they are working with the Eden Reforestation Project to ensure that a new tree is planted for every burger sold. With all these procedures in place, visitors to Neat Burger can enjoy a flavourful plant-based burger safe in the knowledge that it has been made with sustainability and health in mind.
