Panel of Judges Blind Taste-Tested 15 Vegan Products to Reveal Best Plant-Based Burger in the UK

Fifteen plant-based burgers had their identities hidden and were served to a panel of testers at Good Housekeeping in the UK, with each burger being judged on its appearance, aroma, taste, and texture. The tested burgers came from several UK supermarkets as well as respected brands such as Vivera and Biona.

Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, in addition to winning Bronze at the Free From Awards 2020, Lidls W/O Meat Vegan Burger came number one in the Best Veggie Burger category. The burgers retail for just 1.99 and were regarded as superior to brands renowned for quality such as Waitrose and Marks and Spencer.

The Lidl burger scored 84/100 and came with these comments: An authentic meat substitute with a thick and juicy bite, we loved the earthy beetroot and mushroom flavour and the subtle kick from the light spices. A substantial size, it had a lovely smoky aroma akin to being char-grilled on a BBQ.
