Costa Coffee recently introduced its new vegan item to the menu as well as 11 autumnal treats.
The Vegan Bac’n Bap has now landed across Costa stores nationwide and has been tested by a Gordon Ramsey look-alike.
This comes after social media saw Gordon Ramsey, the Hell’s Kitchen chef, refute the original breakfast Bacon Bap in a viral TikTok drive-thru roasting.
Instead of getting down about it, the coffeehouse chain decided to make its own video starring the look-alike Martin Jordan, who also takes faking-it very seriously, preparing the new Vegan Bac’n Bap at home in an instructional trial.
The soft white bap is served with either Heinz tomato ketchup or HP Brown sauce which are both 100 per cent vegan and it can be bought hot in-store or customers can take it away to enjoy at home.
Costa Coffee put its new menu addition to the test with the ‘world famous-looking chef’, Mr. Jordan, remarking how delicious the new vegan item was in comparison to its iconic breakfast counterpart.
A Costa Coffee spokesperson said: “Gordon Ramsay might be famous for pulling kitchens apart, but the country’s favourite look-alike definitely knows how to put our Vegan Bac’n Bap together.
"At Costa Coffee we always look to challenge our alternative food offerings to provide as much choice for our customers as possible, and this breakfast alternative is very proud to be fake.”
Martin Jordan, Gordon Ramsay Look-alike, said: “My impersonation skills and experience were put to the test filming the trial of the Vegan Bac’n Bap, along with a rare chance to film as myself in my day job, which brought a fun element to the whole project!
"We’ll see whether Gordon agrees, as I’m no expert, but it tasted b****y good!”
You can find the new Vegan Bac’n Bap in Costa Coffee stores nationwide. If you’d like to see the full food and drink menu which includes the other new items launched this month, you can find it on the website.
