A new vegan delivery restaurant has launched in Manchester selling plant-based burgers and chick’n nuggets.
Available for delivery only, new burger shop A Burgers is based in a kitchen in Ardwick and run by popular local vegan brand Panc Foods – who wowed vegans at last year’s Christmas Markets with their range of multicolored hot dogs and burgers.
This is the first Manchester site for Taster, a delivery-first restaurant group, which has a further 90 kitchens operated by its partners around the world.
Burgers are made using Moving Mountains patties, which use natural beetroot juice to give them the ‘bloodiness’ often seen in beef burgers.
Menu highlights include the OAB, which takes a quarter-pound Moving Mountains patty, splits it in half and then grills it for that extra crispy ‘smashed’ texture. Topped with two slices of melted vegan cheddar, pickled cucumber, and caramelised onions, it’s served with lettuce, homemade vegan burger sauce and ketchup in a homemade vegan burger bun.

Elsewhere, you’ll find the Spice Up Your LIfe Burger, which offers a spicy take on the OAB with a fiery homemade sauce, and crispy vegan chick’n nuggets with a dipping sauce of your choice. Meal deals of burgers and fries cost an average of £13.50.
Taster has also just launched its new Korean fried chicken brand Out Fry here selling crispy buckets and burgers alongside sides like potato waffle fries, coleslaw and kimchi.

Greater Manchester public urged to help get people ‘off the streets and on their feet’ before Christmas
Emily Sergeant
Locals are being urged to help get hundreds of people “off the streets and back on their feet” this festive season.
As the temperatures told colder by the day, and Christmas creeps closer and closer, Greater Manchester Mayor’s Charity is bringing back ‘1000 Beds for Christmas’, and the massively-important initiative is aiming to provide 1,000 nights of accommodation to people at risk of homelessness before the big day arrives.
Forming part of the ongoing ‘A Bed Every Night’ scheme, this festive fundraising mission is designed to provide food, shelter, warmth, and dedicated vital wrap-around support for those who need it most.
The charity says it wants to build on the “incredible success of 2023”, which raised more than £55,000 and provided 1,800 nights of accommodation.
Stockport-based property finance specialists, Together – which has supported the campaign for the last two years – has, once again, generously pledged to match every public donation for the first £20,000 raised.
Unfamiliar with the ‘A Bed Every Night’ scheme? Since 2017, when rough sleeping peaked, the initiative has helped ensure a significantly-higher rate of reduction in the numbers of people facing a night on streets in Greater Manchester than seen nationally.
The landmark scheme has given people the chance to rebuild their lives, while also giving them access to key services and opportunities that allows them to stay off the streets for good.
Despite the scheme’s recent success, organisations across Greater Manchester are under “a huge amount of pressure” to meet the demand for their services this winter, and given the current economic outlook, household budgets will continue to be squeezed – leaving people on the sharp end of inequality and poverty.
