How One Welsh Pub Became The ‘World’s First’ Vegan Steakhouse

Welsh pub The Queen Inn has recently announced plans to become the "world's first plant-based steakhouse" after securing a partnership with Israeli meat alternative brand Redefine Meat. The pub, previously known for its meaty steakhouse dishes, is now focusing on serving the best plant-based alternatives using Redefine's 3D-printed vegan protein. The pub initially offered meat-free beef cuts on a limited basis for Veganuary, but due to high demand, these dishes are now expected to be a permanent menu item.

After turning vegan in January 2022 as an experiment during the traditionally quiet month, The Queen Inn has seen great success with its plant-based menu. The pub was fully booked throughout January, with diners coming from as far as Scotland to sample the vegan food. The pub has now celebrated one year of being meat-free and offers a variety of plant-based options including products from Redefine Meat, Juicy Marbles, OmniFoods, Heura, and Future Farm.

The owners of The Queen Inn aim to showcase the deliciousness of plant-based meats and prove that there is no need to eat animals. With a diverse menu including vegan steak dishes, paella, and crab cakes, the pub is working towards creating a plant-based dining experience that appeals to a wide audience.
