TiNDLE increases product range

Today, TiNDLE has announced the expansion of the availability of its plant-based chicken in restaurants across the UK, thus increasing chef and operator access to its flagship product with its brand-new, pre-breaded TiNDLE nuggets and patties. 

This includes prominent eateries and chains which are committed to offering a wider range of plant-based and sustainable menu items, like Clean Kitchen, The Queen Inn,  BIRD Fried Chicken & Waffles, Sides by The Sidemen, Hub Box, Miss Millie's, BBar London and several of D&D London group's popular establishments as well as some of Hilton Hotels' most iconic sites.

TiNDLE is the first chicken product made from plants specially created with chefs in mind and by chefs. It's a versatile, easy-to-work-with product delivering the unmistakable taste and aroma of chicken. 

It's ideal for cooking across a wide range of global cuisines, TiNDLE comes in a raw form that can be easily moulded and designed to fit in any menu. 

From this August, chefs and operators can order TiNDLE as pre-formed breaded nuggets and patties, boasting the same flavour and experience as before, while being designed for maximum convenience. 

Using feedback from hundreds of chefs and consumers from around the globe on what was their favourite TiNDLE attribute, the nuggets and patties were developed through an open innovation process to ensure the best version was produced. 

In order to create the unique chicken surface appearance loved by consumers, the company's world-class R&D team leveraged 3D scanning and printing technology to design the patty shape.

In the spring, TiNDLE successfully launched into a handful of London's top eateries and restaurant groups, such as BrewDog, Paternoster Chophouse, City Spice, sketch London, Let's Do Maki and more. 

TiNDLE has continued to impress restaurant goers with its taste and versatility and, in under four months, it's tripled its restaurant count due to the recent commitment of new partners in the food and hospitality industry who are turning to plant-based offerings as a core part of their menus and long-term F&B programmes that emphasise sustainability.

Plant-based pioneers Mikey Pearce and Verity Bowditch founded Clean Kitchen with the mission to make plant-based food widely available and accessible to the masses. 

Known for their 100% plant-based take on traditional comfort foods, Clean Kitchen offers convenient, fast and healthy grab-and-go items at their highly-frequented locations throughout central London. Clean Kitchen now offers TiNDLE in two of their signature burgers, including the Truffle Mayo, a TiNDLE patty served with truffle mayo inside a brioche burger bun and Chick'n Mayo, a TiNDLE fillet served inside a brioche burger bun, as well as TiNDLE nuggets.

In Wales, The Queen Inn, a family-owned pub, and sought-after destination for traditional pub dishes that diners know and love, but now produced entirely from plant-based ingredients. TiNDLE is featured on The Queen Inn's menu, which is committed to offering sustainable options, as three brand-new dishes: Hunter's Ch*cken, an entree of TiNDLE wrapped in plant-based bacon and smothered with BBQ sauce and plant-based cheese, served with chips and salad; Frickin' Ch*cken Burger, an original creation of a TiNDLE patty topped with jalapenos, garlic mayo and cheese, alongside chips and coleslaw; and The Ultimate Burger, a double-hitter combination of both a TiNDLE patty and plant-based beef burger patty, alongside plant-based bacon and cheese.

Two iconic fried chicken spots, BIRD Fried Chicken & Waffles and Sides, a food brand from YouTube collective The Sidemen, recently brought on TiNDLE as their featured plant-based chicken. At BIRD, the chicken and waffle experts serve the TiNDLE Burger in a vegan potato bun packed with cauliflower bites, lettuce, vegan mayo and barbecue sauce, topped off with a stack of BIRD coated onion rings. 

BIRD is also serving TiNDLE nuggets as part of its kids menu. Sides will be offering The Vegan Chikn Burger and Vegan Naked Chikn Tenders at its Reef vegan kitchens, available on Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat from its sites in Boxpark Wembley, Twickenham, Canary Wharf, Kentish Town and Crouch End.

Following the success of TiNDLE's launch at D&D London group's Paternoster Chophouse, the group now features TiNDLE on the menu at some of its most well-patronised establishments, including New Street Grill, Fish Market and Old Bengal Bar, TiNDLE will be offered as two featured sandwiches, including a plant-based “fish” burger, made with tartar sauce, lettuce, tomato and, of course, a side of thick chips and the crispy TiNDLE chicken burger, served with a house relish and triple-cooked chips.

 BBar London's TiNDLE Chicken Bao Buns with Sriracha Mayonnaise have been a hit with customers who can now order the mouthwatering Bao Buns as their staple bar snack.

Additional new partners adding TiNDLE to their menus this summer include UK chains, like popular waterside bar and restaurant group Hub Box that will offer TiNDLE as the featured plant-based chicken option at their 11 locations in the West Country and established Miss Millie's awesome chicken  in September with 11 locations in London and the South – where TiNDLE will be served across their menu of signature burgers and nuggets and as TiNDLE nuggets on the Kids Menu.

“We've seen incredible enthusiasm for TiNDLE from UK consumers over the last four months and are thrilled to be able to offer a wider variety of new TiNDLE offerings,” says Andre Menezes, CEO and Co-Founder of Next Gen Foods, the company behind TiNDLE. “It's an honour to be able to work closely with not only some of the nation's great culinary minds, but also partners who equally share our passion in making plant-based chicken and other sustainable foods more widely available, and drive impactful change to help fix our broken food system and reduce our reliance on animal-based products.”

TiNDLE is the first product by Next Gen Foods, a Singapore-based food tech company that is developing and commercialising innovative and sustainable foods. Next Gen Foods was founded in 2020 by Brazilian-born poultry exporter and food industry veteran Andre Menezes, and German native Timo Recker, whose family business made schnitzel and other meat products for three generations. After initially meeting, they decided to work on products that reduce humanity's reliance on animal agriculture.

On average, chicken made from plants requires less land, less water, and produces less CO₂ than chicken from birds. Based on a 2020 Blue Horizon report, choosing plant-based chicken over avian meat uses 82% less water, 74% less land and 88% less greenhouse gas emissions.

In a little more than a year since its launch, TiNDLE has grown from being served in a handful of Singapore-based locations to being offered in close to 1,000 restaurants across the United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, as well as the United States, Asia and Middle East.

The company plans to continue its expansion throughout the UK, including entering into retail early next year. To find the closest restaurant serving TiNDLE, visit https://tindle.com/find/.
