Exciting News... Not Dogs Announced as Finalists in the #VirginFoodFest


We're very proud to share the news that our vegetarian food brand Not Dogs has been chosen as one of two finalists in the 'Tastiest Startup' category at the Virgin Foodpreneur Fest! We found out while travelling with our little purple truck to Quorn HQ in Middlesborough this week and had to pull over we were so excited!


On Wednesday we'll be heading to the live finale in Battersea in London where we'll hear the judges; Sir Richard Branson, acting Editor of the Guardian Cook magazine Mina Holland, founder of Ella's Kitchen Paul Lindley and bloggers Jasmine and Melissa Hemsley, announce the winning brand!



This is what Virgin Startup said about Not Dogs:
Created when founders Katie and Jane found themselves frustrated at the lack of satisfying veggie fast food options at festivals, Not Dogs proves that you don’t need meat to create a hot dog that ticks all the boxes – and with imaginative toppings that include fried eggs, beer-caramelised onions and crushed nachos, they’re way ahead of their traditional counterparts.


On Wednesday there will be a 'people's choice' competition where competitors are encouraged to create a buzz around a particular hashtag given out on the day (along with #VirginFoodFest) so it would be amazing if you could show your support and look out for our tweets, retweeting and tweeting where you can, on @notdogsUK.

We're so pleased that in just nine months Not Dogs has gone from a little idea on our 'Mental List' to us spending the summer travelling up and down the UK  in our lively truck and now being finalists in a Virgin competition. Thanks to everyone who has supported us on our journey so far... we can't wait for 2015!

Kickin' Katie & Plain Jane x
