Celebrate Veganuary at Not Dogs!

The Veganuary fever has caught us at Not Dogs Birmingham! To celebrate we’re giving you 15% off your order for the whole month! Simply show this image to Crew and they’ll do the rest!

As the Veganuary team say there’s lots of reasons to try going vegan for the month of January… it could be because of your love of animals or maybe you want to kick off 2019 positively and make yourself feel good whilst helping the environment. Or do you love a challenge and want to add Veganuary to your New Year’s Resolutions and see as trying vegan as the healthiest start to the year?

Whatever the reason, Not Dogs can make the challenge a little easier with our meat-free menu - all of which can be made vegan of course!

Why not step outside the norm this January and choose a vegan rather than a veggie option when you’re at Not Dogs?

We can’t wait to see your Veganuary #SausageSelfie pictures!

Hello Again to the Not Dogs Christmas Menu!

We are so excited to present to you the special Not Dogs Christmas menu filled with our favourite Christmas treats with a Not Dogs twist.

Santa’s Stilton Surprise

Not Dog topped with house-made Christmas-spiced caramelised red onions finished with a sprinkling of crumbled stilton

This recipe was a big hit at the Oxford Christmas Market which we did for two years running. We love the mix of warm, spiced onions with the sharp, creamy stilton.

Burger with Bells On!

‘Chicken’ burger topped with fresh spinach, sage and onion stuffing, house-made cranberry sauce and a dash of Not Dogs’ mayonnaise

We wanted to recreate all the delicious Christmas dinner tastes in a burger and offer something extra special to our fantastic customers.

The Gingerbread Cream Shake

Deliciously creamy gingerbread Nice Shake topped with cream and your own little gingerbread man! 

It's pretty amazing (even if we do say so ourselves)!

Of course, all our Christmas items are available vegan and you can enjoy this special menu at Not Dogs Birmingham from the 12th December until the 6th January.

Not Dogs are Celebrating All-Things Vegan this November

The first of November is World Vegan Day… and for the whole month we’re celebrating 

Vegan Month!

In November 1944 a group of friends wanted to distinguish the difference between not eating meat versus not eating any products from animals and so the Vegan Society which Not Dogs is part of, formed. Every November year since 1994, the Vegan Society have been celebrating World Vegan Day and, because of its popularity, it’s grown to become World Vegan Month where vegans and veganism is celebrated all over the world!

The first ever Vegan Society records show there was just 25 members now there’s over 7,000! The demand for meat-free food increased by a whopping 987% in 2017 and the number of vegans in the UK quadrupled between 2014 and 2018! It’s not only health that’s benefitting from this change; plant-based diet cuts the use of land by 76% and halves greenhouse gases and other pollution caused by food production.

This month is a time to recognise how far the vegan movement has come and to highlight how beneficial, easy and accessible (especially now Not Dogs has arrived!) can be. It’s not just for vegans, but everyone can get involved whether it’s simply for World Vegan Day or the whole month with the 30 Day Vegan Pledge - every little bit helps health, animals and the planet.

We’re really excited about a new app called VeGuide that the society has developed which launches on the 1st of November. There’s an easy 30 day programme to follow and regular encouraging boosts tailored to your motivation.

In-store to celebrate World Vegan Day we’re giving you 20% off all vegan Not Dogs! Our utterly delicious seiten-based Not Dogs topped with all-vegan toppings (on request) are a big hit with our customers so, if you usually stick-to our original Not Dogs (we love them as much as you do!) why not try our lightly smoked vegan option and make use of November's special offers!?

Every Friday in November at Not Dogs Birmingham, to mark World Vegan Month, you can get 20% off our favourite vegan menu items…

2nd - What the Duck Dog

9th - Chris-P Chicken Burger

16th - Any of our Nice Shakes

23rd - Cha-Cha Chilli Not Pot

30th - Hello Houmous

Happy World Vegan Month! See you for some delicious goodies this November!
