Chicago Town vegan pizza
A NEW YEAR, A NEW PIZZA!
 
Chicago Town's  first vegan pizza, Sticky BBQ Jackfruit, proved so popular that the company decided to launch two brand new vegan pizzas.  
And this comes with a warning ...
be  prepared for your love of pizza to get even stronger with Vegan Deep Dish Cheeezeburger.

Chicago Town has filled its iconic deep dish crust with plenty of the finest burger sauce to create the ultimate base. This pizza, although small, is indeed mighty. Topped with delish vegan mince, red onions, tomatoes,  gherkins and sprinkled with mozzarella alternative, yum, believe me, the flavour is irresistible. What's more, it's tasty enough to attract non-vegans too, so don't let that vegan label put you off!

 
This latest Chicago Town pizza offering  joins their existing Deep Dish Cheeseburger pizza. Now that’s what you call the ultimate pizza offering, an option for both plant-based eaters and those who still prefer a meaty feast.

Also joining Takeaway, the UK’s number 1 frozen pizza range, Chicago Town has launched Vegan Tomato Stuffed Crust Takeaway Smokey Bac’n and Mushroom. This indulgent sauce-filled crust gets baked in consumer’s ovens, so when it's ready, you have that authentic takeaway taste.
This pizza is topped with a smoked gouda alternative and smoky vegan bacon accompanied by red onions and mushrooms.

Chicago Town spokesperson, Rachel Bradshaw said, “We are really excited to expand our vegan offering in Takeaway as well as launching our first Vegan Deep Dish variant. We know that consumers love indulgent flavours in vegan pizza, our Vegan Tomato Stuffed Crust Sticky BBQ Jackfruit is the best-selling vegan pizza on the market in 2020.  We’ve created Deep Dish Cheeezeburger and Tomato Stuffed Crust Smokey Bac’n and Mushroom for our vegan pizza lovers, but anyone can enjoy them - vegetarian, flexitarian, anyone who has a passion for pizza!”
 
Both new products, Vegan Deep Dish Cheeezeburger and Vegan Tomato Stuffed Crust Takeaway Bac’n and Mushroom are also registered with The Vegan Society’s Vegan Trademark.
 
Serin Price, Vegan Society spokesperson said, "We're so pleased to see Chicago Town expanding its vegan range after the successful launch of its delicious tomato stuffed crust pizza in 2020. We know the vegan community appreciates having quick meal options from brands they know and love and knowing that they have the Vegan Trademark gives people confidence.”

DORSET TEA introduce sustainable PACKAGINg

​Now you can enjoy your cuppa even more by knowing that Dorset Tea has launched  Sunshine Blend, a sustainably packaged tea, in association with the Marine Conservation Society.

With a strong connection to the Dorset coastline, the brand has taken  measures to ensure its packaging is as environmentally friendly as it is possible to be. They teamed up with the Marine Conservation Society to highlight the importance of using sustainable packaging and keeping coastlines litter-free. 


Marine Society
Phoebe Double, Brand Manager at Dorset Tea said, “At Dorset Tea we love the planet as much as we love a good cup of tea, so we have been working hard to make sure our products respect the environment. It has been challenging, but we are happy to announce that now all our products will be packaged in environmentally friendly packaging. Our special recyclable boxes are not wrapped in plastic and keep the teabags fresh without a foil bag and our biodegradable teabags can be popped into your food waste bin after usage. To celebrate the changes, we are partnering with the Marine Conservation Society to highlight the importance of keeping our marine environment free from litter.”

​O
uter packaging is 100% recyclable and the bio-degadable teabags use plant-based, heat sealable paper that can be industrially composted.  

​Aware of damage caused by single use plastics and littering,  particularly seen locally in Dorset during lockdown, Dorset Tea and the Marine Conservation Society joined forces to raise awareness of the impact of  coastline littering.

 
Sanjay Mitra, Corporate Partnerships Manager, Marine Conservation Society comments: "The Marine Conservation Society is delighted to partner with Dorset Tea’s Sunshine Blend and see them remove single-use plastics from their products. Single-use plastics are hugely damaging for our beautiful marine environment and we applaud Dorset Tea’s efforts to minimise their impact. "   
 
Part of the collaboration between Dorset Tea and the Marine Conservation Society includes joining with local schools to create projects that focus on the local coastal environment and the importance of protecting marine life from litter. 

Besides all of that, Dorset Tea makes a really good cuppa, so it's a win win for everyone!

 
The Marine Conservation Society campaigns for clean seas and beaches, sustainable fisheries, and protection of marine life. Through education, community involvement and collaboration, MCS raises awareness of the many threats that face our seas and promotes individual, industry and government action to protect the marine environment. MCS provides information and guidance on many aspects of marine conservation and produces the Good Fish Guide as well as involving thousands of volunteers in projects and surveys such as MCS Beachwatch.
