A LEIGH pub has launched a vegan range as part of its new menu and is encouraging locals to tuck into the new plant-based offering.

The vegan range, which is available now at The Parsonage on Parsonage Retail Park, features seven plant-based dishes, including pub classic fish and chips.

This is produced by VBites and is made of fish-free ‘fish’ flakes, and a Bakewell tart which is served with vegan vanilla flavoured ice cream.

Christopher Buck, general manager at the Parsonage, said: “We know our local customers have a wide range of diets and tastes, so it’s important that we experiment with exciting new dishes and flavour combinations to ensure we cater for this.

“We’ve not only introduced a number of new plant-based dishes to our menu, but we’ve also put a spin on some of the traditional pub classics we offer, such as fish and chips which is now available with vegan fish-free flakes and is already proving popular with locals.

“So, whether you’re vegan, veggie, or just fancy trying something new, we look forward to welcoming people in Leigh to come and try our tasty new meat-free offering!”
