Pub chain JD Wetherspoon has stopped selling Sunday roast dinners - but has launched a new fully vegan menu at all its pubs.

Options include pasta pomodoro, vegetable samosas, jacket potatoes with a side salad and baked beans, large onion bhajis and sweet potato, and chickpea and spinach curry.

The new menu also tells customers how to make their food vegan – such as no cheese and sour cream on your nachos (isn't that just a bowl of crisps?), a butterless mini corn on the cob and a side salad without creamy dressing.

Review: Vegan junk food with not a lentil in sight - vive la V Revolution

“More than ever before, vegan eating has hit the mainstream, as customers continue to clamour for cruelty-free foods at the establishments they know and love”, says PETA’s manager of special projects, Dawn Carr. “Wetherspoons is giving kind consumers exactly what they’re asking for, and PETA encourages other eateries to follow suit.”

On their website, John Hutson CEO of Wetherspoons, says: "We know that the Sunday roasts are popular, but the size of our menu has increased, over time, along with the number of meals we serve on Sundays.

"We are keen not to put ourselves in a position where we could start letting customers down with our service and have decided to concentrate on serving from our already-extensive menu."
