THIS partners with Michelin star restaurant
‘Hyper-realistic’ plant-based food company This is partnering with Michelin star restaurant the Harwood Arms in London.
Best known for its focus on British food and game, the restaurant will use This’ plant-based bacon in a meat-free alternative to scotch egg. The meat-free Glamorgan Scotch egg (£5.50) is made with herbs, leeks, and plant-based bacon, to ‘create a savoury and meaty taste’.
“The venison Scotch eggs at the Harwood Arms have become a much-loved favourite on the menus over the years, so we knew that if we were going to offer a vegetarian version, it had to really deliver on taste and texture,” said Head Chef at the Harwood Arms, Sallly Abé.
“We spent a great deal of time perfecting the recipe and the addition of This has given up just what we were looking for.”
For This co-founder Andy Shove, the partnership represents ‘a major step forward in plant-based food innovation’.
“Meat alternative have often been met with scepticism by Michelin-starred restaurants and chefs so I was actually quite emotional when the Harwood Arms team told us they wanted to put This on their menu.
“Our collaboration represents a major step forward in plant-based innovation where products are now so realistic, they are welcomed into the world of fine dining.”
