Angel Hill Food Co. is proud to announce the launch of a groundbreaking new burger developed in partnership with flavour pioneers Eat Curious and expert heritage butchers William White Meats Ltd. This innovative hybrid burger blends Eat Curious’ plant-based textured vegetable protein with high-quality beef, delivering a nutritious, sustainable, and great-tasting option for customers across the Business, Industry, and Education sectors.
Development of the hybrid burger began in 2024 through Angel Hill Food Co.’s internal chef development programme, Culinary Classroom, shaped by consumer insight. Based on burger sales over the past year, the switch to this product is expected to save the carbon equivalent of one million car miles annually. This underlines both the environmental benefits and the rising demand for more sustainable food choices.
Combining great taste with responsible sourcing, the new burger delivers a range of nutritional and environmental benefits:
- 16g of protein per 100g
- Only 3.6g of saturated fat
- 2g fibre to support gut health
- 1.66kg CO₂e reduction per portion
- Allergen free
By reducing the beef content and blending it with plant-based protein, Angel Hill has created a burger that’s higher in protein, lower in saturated fat, and more environmentally responsible without compromising on flavour.
A Bold Move for a Better Burger
Angel Hill Food Co. is fully switching to this new hybrid burger across all its sites, offering no alternative. This bold step reflects the company’s dedication to healthier, more responsible food choices for modern consumers.
