Vegans, rejoice – Leon is launching a new menu especially for you
In celebration of its 15th anniversary, Leon is launching its biggest vegan offering yet.
The brand, known for its healthier approach to fast food, has introduced seven new items, including the pièce de résistance: pulled jackfruit nuggets coated in a gluten-free crumb, dubbed Jack Wings.
But whats a wing without some dip?
You can either go with aioli or try Thoms BBQ sauce, both of which are, of course, vegan.
Other treats include the Raspberry and Rose Donut, as well as the Coco Whip, a vegan version of the classic 99p Flake, made from a dairy-free coconut soft serve in four flavours.
Except it costs a bit more, at £2.65.
Choose from caramel and cacao, chocolate ruby ripple, passionfruit or lemongrass and pomegranate.
Leon has also added a range of new beverages, including strawberry, chocolate and coffee milkshakes, iced tea and juicy water.

According to sales figures, 46% of all items sold in January 2018 were vegetarian and 34% were vegan, compared to 64% and 55% in the same month in 2019.
