The Filthy Vegan spreads its wings
NOTTINGHAM’S Filthy Vegan has gone from cooking at home to serving hundreds of people at Glastonbury in the space of just over three years.
Now the duo behind the popular Filthy Kebab are opening a takeaway at one of the region’s biggest shopping centres.
James Freeman and Joe Johnson have announced that the first of two new sites will be at East Midlands Designer Outlet just over the Derbyshire border near junction 28 of the M1.
The Filthy Vegan counter will be at the outlet’s food court, alongside big names including Burger King, Subway, Starbucks and Chopstix.
James said: “We are really privileged to be here alongside some of the world’s leading franchises.”
An opening date has yet to be announced, but Filthy Vegan will be hot on the heels of another local business opening. Doughnotts launched a kiosk there last month.
Joe said: “For us to open here is a dream come true and is a result of three-and-a-half years of hard work. We can’t wait to see everyone there.”
The Filthy Vegan, the only vegan food stall at Nottingham Beach in
Old Market Square this summer, is famed for its healthy take on a traditional kebab.
Seasoned soya meat comes with a naan bread, salad, hot sriracha sauce and garlic mayo – at only 600 calories. They started out making the food at James’s home in Netherfield.
The response surpassed all expectations.
Since the business launched in February 2019 they have attended events all over the UK, festivals, weddings and the Winter Wonderland Christmas market in Nottingham.
The second new location will be revealed at a later date.
They are now recruiting for the new locations with a variety of jobs available, from managerial positions to weekend roles. Apply to recruitment@thefilthyvegan.co.uk
