KFC announce return of vegan 'Imposter burger', which first sold out in three days

Plant-based patty: The Imposter Burger is back
Harry Fletcher2 July 2019

After disappearing faster than diners could say ‘plant-based dining’, KFC’s vegan burger is back.

The group first experimented with vegan fast food earlier this summer, launching a month-long trial of the Imposter burger across outposts in Bristol and London. It proved a success, selling out in three days.

It's now been announced that the dish is back again – at least until stocks last. Londoners won't easily be able to tuck in, though, with just the Gloucester Road branch serving the dish. Bristolians are in better luck, with nine sites across the city plating up the vegan patty.

The “finger lickin’ vegan” dish is designed to replicate the look and taste of an Original Recipe fillet burger, with the chicken replaced by a Quorn fillet.

Finger lickin'? The Imposter is back on UK menus for a limited time
