A month after shutting its original diner on Oldham Street, vegan restaurant V Revolution has opened the doors of its bigger, better site on Edge Street.

From its brand new premises, the V Revolution team serves a wider range of 100% vegan food and drink than ever before. The menu includes a selection of animal friendly burgers with hand-made 'beefy' patties made of seitan and soy, or homemade deep fried 'buttermilk' seitan.

All the traditional American style comfort food is there, including mac'n'cheez (£6.25), toona mayo and cheez grill (£6.95) and buffalo fried chkn (£8.25).

Choose from meat-free baps such as the Hell-vis Presley (£8.25) made with beefy patty, baecon, peanut butter, banana, pickles and baeconnaise. Or go spicy with the Jerry Zinger (£8.95) made with fried chkn, cheez, hash brown, hot sauce, salsa, lettuce and mayo.

Even lobster isn't off the menu, with the lobsta salad (£6.95) served with baecon and herb mayo in a buttered pretzel bun.

Drinks include a huge vegan milkshake menu, original cocktails, wines, spirits, and craft beers. Plant-based treats will be provided by Tender Vegan Bakery, and the changing fresh menu will range from doughnuts to baked cheezcakes, ice creem sundaes to brownies.

V Revolution was founded by Manchester University graduate Dom Moss in 2011 as a vegan grocery and record store specialising in Punk, Hardcore and Metal. In early 2013 he began to introduce a small menu comprising mainly vegan burgers, hot dogs and sandwiches, and having established a large fan base with locals and tourists alike, the restaurant side of the business soon took over.

"Most of the growth has happened over the past couple of months," explains Moss.

"It was a record store and a vegan food store, and then we moved up to doing one burger at the weekend, then it was two burgers, then a burger every day of the week.

"Now we've got a team of 23. It's crazy, but it's awesome as well. We've just got bigger and bigger and hopefully we'll just keep going."

Much of the impetus behind the growing vegan scene in Manchester started with the music crowd, says Moss.

"Lots of big vegan bands pass through Manchester - that's why we first opened as a record store. I've always seen punk and hardcore as a big part of the vegan scene.

"They are really connected - that's how I got into it, and we've always tried to keep that DIY ideology in the restaurant."

V Revolution launched quietly this week while they settle into the space, and will be open seven days a week from 11am to 11pm. The kitchen closes at 9pm, but these opening times could change.
