Wholesome Junkies (Manchester)

Vegan Comfort Food

Fast Food / Vegan Junk Food

Made famous by their appearance on BBC's Million Pound Menu, Wholesome Junkies are the reigning monarchs of vegan fast food in Manchester. They recently moved into a fantastic new kitchen residency inside Hinterland (Manchester's alcohol-free bar in the Northern Quarter).

This is where you go when you want serious, messy, heavily-sauced comfort food. From towering beefless burgers and "phish & chips" to tater tots and smokey BBQ fried cauliflower wings, it is plant-based gluttony at its absolute finest.

🔥 Special Offers

Express Lunch: Grab a selected burger and fries for just £12 every weekday between 12pm and 3pm!
