Nina Jarman Find a stockistThe Simon Howie veggie breakfast pack is now a part of my regular shopping list, amazing I can now have a completely vegetarian cooked breakfast without the guilt and grizzle. Thanks so much for making these – who says veggies miss out?! Love the black pudding especially, considering they are imitations you’ve got them down to perfection – thank you!

Ena McCaigI would just love like you to know how much we love your veggie breakfast pack especially the square sausages. My husband and I turned pescatarian 10 months ago and your pack is amazing. I have dished them out among family and friends eat meat and they love them as well. So many thanks.
Alana Furst Find a stockistI absolutely love your veggie range. The breakfast pack is fantastic, so tasty and enjoyable. My 3 and 5 year olds love it too and we often share a pack for our weekend breakfast treat. Great to see the products being sold separately as well. Thank you for producing such a nice veggie range of products.

Jeanette Malone Find a stockistYour veggie haggis is already one of my favourites and thought I would try the veggie breakfast pack. It did not fail to impress. The texture, look, flavour excellent… and guilt free!
5 stars
Victoria ElliotThey are amazing!! They have the texture of a meat sausage and the most wonderful flavour. I’ve tried many vegetarian sausages and without hesitation I’d say they are truly the best! They are also onion and garlic free which is wonderful for allergy sufferers of these ingredients. How they manage to get such an amazing flavour without the use of these must be the envy of every vegetarian product maker in the UK. Well done Simon Howie!!
Emma Macrae Find a stockistYour veggie black pudding and veggie square sausage are absolutely amazing! I’m so thankful you’ve brought these products out. Now we can have a Scottish breakfast…. even when we’re vegetarian!

Susan Haddow Find a stockistVegetarian Black Pudding… this is fab. I became vegetarian a few years ago due to digestive issues. I didn’t realise how much I missed black pudding until I tried this!
5 stars
Sam Coulter Find a stockistI wasn’t sure about these as veggie sausages can be a hit or a miss. However these are amazing – even my meat eating husband likes them (high praise indeed!). I think they are the best around. Well done Simon Howie.

Carolyn Warnock Find a stockistLove the Vegetarian Breakfast Pack. I would love the black pudding as a stand alone product. It would fly off the shelves. Your chef must be a magician to make black pudding vegetarian!

Linda Hutton Find a stockistI’m not vegetarian, my daughter is, but I love your Vegetarian Lorne sausage. It’s amazing and the black pudding in the breakfast pack is so good. I would echo another review on here and say please consider the black pudding being a stand alone product I’m sure it would be a top seller. Keep up the great work.

Mhairi Laing Find a stockistWhenever I get the vegan Lorne sausage, I’m filled with excitement for my breakfast. Amazing on a roll with some ketchup.
Had my meat eating brother fooled into thinking it was the real thing!
5 stars
Pracatan Find a stockistAmazing! Stopped by a stranger at the vegan range in Food Warehouse, Port Glasgow, I was told all about your vegan square slice, on a roll with a potato scone. I actually joked- was he on commission?! He was so convincing I went straight to Tesco for some.
He’s not wrong – superb weekend treat. My veggie friend and our meat eating partners love them too!
5 stars
Kay Polese Find a stockistOMG your Veggie Breakfast Packs are the best veggie stuff I have had in a very long time. Keep it up, thanks.
5 stars
Richard McLeod Find a stockistJust had the Vegetarian Breakfast Pack for Sunday breakfast – delicious. Good texture, flavour and mouth-feel. We’ll be having this again, as part of our efforts to eat less meat.
As another reviewer said, please consider also providing the black pudding in separate packs, as that was the star!
5 stars
Lee Hunter-McKenna Find a stockistSince turning vegetarian earlier this year, one of the things I have missed is the cooked breakfast. I found this pack and it’s hit the nail right on the head. The first bite of the Lorne sausage I had to check I had picked up the right thing.
Taste and texture are spot on. All tastes so good. As a former meat eater, now I can have a tasty treat again.
5 stars
Marion Logan Find a stockistVeggie black pudding – please make this available as a block to be cut to size. It is amazing.

Kenny McIntosh Find a stockistWow – you nailed it with your Veggie Breakfast Pack . The black pudding is perfect and the star of your Veggie Breakfast Pack.
5 stars
Carole DDon’t know how you did it, but this is astoundingly good. Very much hoping that you will do the Veggie Black Pudding on its own at some point. It looks like it, cooks like it, tastes like it. I love it.
Please, please do a Veggie Black Pudding on its own, like the haggis. All your veggie stuff is amazing. I’m recommending to veggie and non-veggie friends alike.
5 stars
Carole D Find a stockistBest Veggie Haggis on the market right now in my view. Wonderful taste, texture, and perfect with the neeps and tatties. Simply, well done.

5 stars
Sue Forbes Find a stockistI bought the Vegetarian Square Sausage from Tesco yesterday and we had it for breakfast today. All I can say is WOW, it is sooooo tasty. I have been vegetarian for so many years that I have lost count, it is absolutely delicious.
My hubby is a meat eater and thoroughly enjoyed it too. You have really done an amazing job with this line. A huge thanks from me. I will be buying this one regularly and telling everyone how great it is. Well done to all!!

5 stars
Roma Lawson Find a stockistOMG. First time I’ve had a roll and square sausage in years. Been hearing about your veggie option for a while but eventually managed to track it down.
Absolutely spot on. I’m used to being disappointed with the hype but not this time. And you can freeze it, so win win. Now if I can just find a breakfast pack.
5 stars
Amanda Find a stockistI purchased the Veggie Breakfast Pack – wow. What can I say, I’m so happy right now. I was so convinced while eating the square slice that it was meat I had to stop mid-meal and check the ingredients. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I have ordered more for tonight. Well done Simon Howie!!!
5 stars
Isobel Maclean Find a stockistThe breakfast pack has changed our lives. As vegans we didn’t think we would ever get black pudding again. Your vegetarian black pudding is amazingly tasty. My partner loves the square sausage and Cumberland style link too. Thank you for making our breakfasts all the more tasty now.
5 stars
Nichola Dale Find a stockistI have just tried your veggie square sausages!! My goodness, what an absolute treat.

Alec GrayHooked by your amazing vegetarian haggis. Blown over by your lorne sausage. Now KOd by your breakfast pack. You guys are something else. Can’t wait for bacon!
Jim McKenna Find a stockistThe Vegetarian Square Sausage!! Since I discovered this product, breakfasts have been a happy time. I have been vegetarian most of my adult life but remember the non-veg square sausage’s taste as a kid & I did miss it… Simon Howie’s Vegetarian Square Sausage is The One!
No cows died making it & also no more gristly or unidentifiable bits! FANTASTIC product!
5 stars
Amanda Regan Find a stockistMoved to Scotland nearly 2 years ago and I am so happy I can indulge in a vegetarian Scottish breakfast.
Your veggie products are great, and the carnivores in the family enjoy the meaty versions. Readily available in my local Aldi too. Thank you for making breakfast time easy and tasty for veggies and meat eaters.

Lauren Find a stockistVegetarian black pudding is the best thing I’ve tasted since becoming vegetarian 17 years ago – please, please, please do this in a pack on its own!
5 stars
Caitlin Doherty Find a stockistI’ve been vegetarian for some time now and found some veggie products bland. Then I came across Vegetarian Lorne slice – honestly best thing I have ever had! Tastes and looks exactly the same as real slice but meat free… amazing!
5 stars
MaggieI’ve bought your vegetarian square sausage, vegetarian haggis and I’m just about to sample your Veggie Haggis Truffles with Peppercorn Sauce. Really admire the way you are embracing the changing eating habits.
Keep up the good work! A vegan steak pie would be a welcome addition. I’m spreading the word about your products!
Robert MiddletonYour Vegetarian Sausages are excellent, as is your Vegetarian Haggis – the best around.

5 stars
Elise Kelly Find a stockistYour Veggie Square Sausage is an absolute treasure! My dad and I have both been vegetarians for 5 years and always missed a good roll/fry up in the morning. The first time we tried the Veggie Square Sausage we both couldn’t help but fall in love with it! Thank you for creating something so amazing.
5 stars
Alison Christie Find a stockistI have just had your veggie square sausage and it’s great! I am not a vegetarian – bought these as I was curious and I was quite impressed. I will buy these again.
5 stars
Mary Buckley Find a stockistI’ve been vegetarian for the best part of 40 years and I’ve just had this product – it’s amazing I absolutely love it and hope to make stovies with it soon. There are some things you will always miss being a vegetarian, but at least I can now have a decent plate of stovies thanks to your sausages!
They’re firm, the right colour and the flavour is really quite authentic from what I can remember, so thank you for making these square slices. So good I had to check the ingredients to make sure they were really veggie.
5 stars
Anna Docherty Find a stockistLoved your Veggie Breakfast Pack! Best one we’ve ever tried! My vegetarian boyfriend loved it and as a meat eater I loved it also!
Sharon Shankland Find a stockistI have been vegetarian for 30 years now and have waited a long, long time for someone to come up with the veggie square sausage and I must say I am not disappointed. Absolutely amazing. So tasty. Thank you so much. Just wish everywhere would do these.
5 stars
Emma-Jane Gault Find a stockistI’ve just discovered your Vegetarian Square Sausage in the supermarket and I wanted to let you know how much I love it…..it’s delicious!
I’m already a huge fan of your Vegetarian Haggis and this new product is a very welcome addition to your vegetarian range. Keep them coming!
Angelica Ashbrook Heyworth Find a stockistMyself and my large family of 8 ‘kidults’ are either vegan or vegetarian. I came across your vegetarian haggis last month, which I noted from your ingredients is actually vegan.
We all absolutely loved it. I mean really, really loved it. It’s fairly healthy too and good for our diet.
Jackie James Find a stockistHi – just to say a big thank you for developing vegetarian square slice. From what I can remember of eating meat it’s very authentic. I was so excited to try the product last weekend as it’s been 30 years since I last had a roll and square sausage.
Diane Goodall Find a stockistHi – just thought I would email to say a massive well done on the new vegetarian square sausage! The taste and texture is just out of this world. I have been vegetarian for years and get quite fed up of the usual bland tasteless products that’s on offer.
So please pass on a massive well done to all on this product – it fair tickled my taste buds and highly recommend it to all my family and friends.
Dawn Laverty Find a stockistThe only thing I ever miss since becoming vegetarian is square sausage. I tried your vegetarian version, and know that as long as you keep producing this I will never feel like I’m missing out again!
If I’d been served this without knowing that it was vegetarian sausage I would never have known. The product is even better than the normal square slice.
Jackie Watson Find a stockistI have been a vegetarian for 35 years and one of the things I’ve missed the most is Lorne sausage. I just had your Veggie Square Sausage a slice on a roll and was not disappointed.
Thank you so much for making this product, I do not have the words to express my delight….
Gail Hawthorn Find a stockistMy partner, my aunt and I are all absolutely in love with it but can’t seem to get enough of it anywhere! Morrisons often sell out on the day and we are lucky to get a pack each a fortnight.
