A TAUNTON pub is challenging customers to tuck into what it claims is the nation's first GREEN BURGER.
The brightly coloured snack is being plated up for takers at Stonegallows Inn, Hungry Horse pub in the county town.
It's all part of a partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support and features either a crispy chicken or grilled beef patty, topped with a layer of fajita seasoned mac ‘n’ cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion and mayo, all sandwiched between two vibrant green burger buns, which have been ‘dyed’ with spinach to match the charity’s iconic green branding.
As well as being eye-catching dish, £1 from every green burger sold at the Greene King pub will be donated towards Macmillan’s fundraising efforts.
You can order your Greene Warrior burger, costing from £7.49, at the Stonegallows throughout September.
The £1 donation will help boost Macmillan's finance after the charity made significant losses during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Andy Wilson, managing director for destination food brands at Greene King, said: “It’s been a challenging year for Macmillan which is experiencing a fundraising crisis due to Covid-19, so we hope the launch of our new green burger will help provide our guests in Taunton with a fun way of helping to support the charity at a time of need.
“While it might look slightly unusual, the Greene Warrior is a delicious way to do your bit for a very important cause – with its eye-catching appearance, tasty chicken or beef patty and ‘Macmillan’ mac ‘n’ cheese filling, it’s guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser for local burger lovers. We can’t wait to welcome our locals in to give it a try – your friends will be green with envy!”
Rachel Gascoigne, senior partnerships manager at Macmillan Cancer Support, said: “Our partnership with Greene King is so successful and our sincere thanks go to their customers and team members. We are almost entirely reliant on the generosity of our partners and the public and are grateful to Stonegallows Inn for their kind donation on every Greene Warrior burger and Mint-Millan dessert purchased in September.”
The Stonegallows' limited-edition Mint-Millan Sundae, featuring two scoops of mint choc chip and one scoop of vanilla flavour ice cream with crushed chocolate mint balls, chocolate flavour sauce and topped with whipped cream, costs from £4.49, with 20p from every sale going to Macmillan.
