11th January 2021: Subway® are tomorrow launching ‘The Big Taste Promise’ on its plant-based Subs in select Subway stores in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, with guests able to claim back a free Sub* of their choice if they are not satisfied their plant-based order is as delicious as the meaty alternative.
Subway is so confident in the tastiness of their plant-based menu that they are running the special Veganuary offer on the 12th January to encourage more people to try their non-meat options*.
Subway, 14 Amiens Street, Dublin 1 and Subway, 461 Ormeau Road, Belfast are hosting the ‘The Big Taste Promise’ for one day only – so it’s a great chance to try one of Subway’s plant-based options!
Subway recently launched new plant-based items for Veganuary – the new T.L.C.® Tikka (Tastes.Like.Chicken.), which is available in select stores across the UK and Ireland, available as a 6-inch and Footlong Sub as well as a Salad or a Wrap until the 15th February.
The T.L.C.® Tikka is made from soy-based protein and a unique recipe that both plant-lovers and flexitarians will really enjoy. It is also approved by the Vegan Society.
Subway has one of the widest ranges of plant-based options of any high-street restaurant chain in the UK and Ireland. The new T.L.C. ® Tikka will join year-round and much-loved menu items including the popular Meatless Meatball Marinara - which won PETA’s 2020 award for Best Vegan Sandwich - the Plant Patty created by The Vegetarian Butcher - Veggie Delite®, Vegan Double Choc Cookie – which won PETA’s 2021 Vegan Food Award for Best Cookie - Crinkle Wedges, Bowl of Meatless Meatballs and Hash Browns.
Mays Elansari, Head of Marketing UK & Ireland at Subway® said: “We want to encourage our existing and new guests to discover our plant-based Subs and we’re so confident in the taste of our plant-based menu range that we decided to guarantee it! Visit one of our stores taking part in the offer on Wednesday 12th January and taste one of our plant-based Subs for yourself – and if you’re not 100% satisfied with the delicious taste, we’ll give you a free Sub of your choice in return.”

About the Subway® brand:
The Subway® brand is the world’s largest submarine sandwich franchise, with more than 42,500 locations in more than 113 countries.
Headquartered in Milford, Connecticut, the Subway® brand was co-founded by Fred DeLuca and Dr. Peter Buck in 1965. That partnership marked the beginning of a remarkable journey, which has made it possible for thousands of individuals to build and succeed in their own business.
In 2017 the Subway® brand embarked on a sugar reduction programme and together with our beverages partner PepsiCo/Britvic, we have taken out 4 billion calories from our GB customer’s annual consumption, per store, this means almost 2 million calories annually have been removed. This represents an overall 30% calorie consumption reduction from drinks sold in Subway® stores. In the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, nearly 300 million calories have been removed from our Irish customers’ consumption from Subway® stores (ROI & NI). Per store, this means almost 1 million calories annually have been removed. This represents an overall 15% calorie consumption reduction from drinks sold in Subway® stores (due to different product mix). We are constantly looking at ways that can reformulate our menu to offer customer a choice of foods that are the best they nutritionally can be at an affordable price.
