For anyone looking at going vegan, or just wondering what other alternatives are out there, we tried all the best vegan alternatives so that you don’t have to! Read on to learn what is worth the cash, and what’s worth putting in the trash! If you’re interested in vegetarian alternatives, we tried those too!
1. Tofurky Sausages
These Polish style sausages look a little odd, but they have a peppery taste to them that goes perfectly will potatoes, red cabbage, or sauerkraut. Or, just pop it in a bun and off you go!
You can buy these at Sainsbury’s for £3.00.
2. Linda McCartney Vegetarian Shredded Duck
Chinese food is delicious, but when you’re veggie or vegan it can be hard to find things to have. This Linda McCartney shredded hoisin duck brings all the Chinese takeaway flavours to your oven, and even gets the texture spot on.
You can buy this at Tesco for £2.20.
3. Linda McCartney Red Onion and Rosemary Sausages
Linda really isn’t letting us down with the vegan range! They’re rich in flavour and very tasty, with a great texture to them too. Best served in a casserole or with a sauce, as they’re a touch drier than normal sausages.
You can buy these at Tesco for £2.20
4. Sainsbury’s Vegetarian Meatballs
These seasoned vegan meatballs are made with soya protein and onion, and have the meatiest non-meat texture we’ve experienced! If you fancy a proper Italian meal, but without the meat, these are ideal. We also tried them in an Italian sub, and it was perfect.
You can buy these at Sainsbury’s for £1.75
5. Chicago Town Vegan Crust Pizza BBQ Jackfruit
Chicago Town is well known for their gorgeous fakeaway pizzas, with good amounts of cheese, soft dough and brilliant flavour. Their vegan pizza is no different. With a sticky BBQ jackfruit topping and a tomato stuffed crust, it’s delightful!

6. Naked Glory Vegan Sausages
Naked Glory isn’t just a funny name, they’ve got some smashing products. Their vegan sausages live up to the brand’s motto: ‘free of meat, full of taste’. They’ve got a great texture, and an even better taste.
You can buy these at Tesco for £2.25
7. Richmond Meat Free Vegan Sausages
These featured on our veggie list too. They’re the best alternative we have found when it comes to wanting a proper sausage. These are the ideal option when you want that really tasty, English food – like a fry up.

9. Sainsbury’s Rich Vegan Deli-Style Coleslaw
Coleslaw is one of the biggest things that you can’t find when you go vegan, but the Plant Pioneers collection in Sainsbury’s has managed to answer our prayers! This deli-style coleslaw is creamy, light, and very tasty.

We’re all kids at heart, and these had to be included on the list. Relatively new, these Roarsomes are the fun take on the beloved Quorn chicken nuggets. Tasty nuggets that we’ve all been obsessed with, but in the shape of dinos. Yes please!
