Celebrate the holidays at Chiquito with Oumph!

Thanks to the success of the plant-based Oumph! dishes at Chiquito, UK's biggest Mexican restaurant chain, a brand new Oumph! dish has been added to their popular Christmas menu.

“Given the success of Oumph! on our vegan menu, we are proud to offer a new take on our Vegan Fiesta Fajita on our Christmas Menu – our first Christmas menu containing vegan options! This is another step in the right direction of offering greater consumer choice” Angelo Gabrilatsou, Managing Director for Chiquito and Small Brands.

In addition to featuring in the Christmas menu two Oumph! dishes - Vegarrito and Vegan Fiesta Fajita - have now made it from the vegan menu on to the main menu.

"This is amazing news for us. It's a step further in the right direction for consumers to easily find tasty plant-based options on the menu", says Charlotte Reynolds, Account Manager at Oumph! and Food for Progress in the UK.

Charlotte Reynolds continues:

"The addition of Oumph! on Chiquito's Christmas menu is sure to be a popular choice for vegans, vegetarians, flexitarians and committed carnivores on a day off."
