The story behind the dish: Veggie Gourmet Burger
“Nothing beats a delicious and filling burger!”
“My siblings and I always looked forward to the takeaway night, because burgers were always on the menu.”
“Getting the perfect ingredients that complement each other is what makes a great burger.”
“This burger is a real nostalgic dish which takes me back to family outings to drive-in cinemas, where they served delicious burgers and milkshakes.”
The Veggie Gourmet Burger is Chef Mokgadi Itsweng’s plant-based take on a takeaway classic. A spiced chickpea patty sits at its heart, layered with silky sriracha mayo, sweet caramelised onions, fresh tomato and crisp lettuce, then wrapped in a soft, golden brioche bun.
It’s proof that going meat-free doesn’t mean going without — every element is chosen to complement the next, for a burger that’s hearty, full of flavour and made for sharing. Inspired by family drive-in nights, it brings a little nostalgia to the Mugg & Bean menu, one satisfying bite at a time.
