Lewis Hamilton is not just a 7-time world champion, but also an advocate for veganism. The Knight is known for being a voice for issues that impact our society, and it seems like his hard work and persistence have paid off. The Mercedes driver has taken steps to make veganism more popular and recently his burger chain was given a prestigious award.

Back in 2019, the British driver joined forces with The Cream Group, UNICEF Ambassador, and Tommaso Chiabra to make Neat Burger a reality. Now in 2021, it seems Lewis’ hard work and fight for veganism has paid off as the company received an illustrious award.

Lewis Hamilton’s vegan burger company wins an award

The 37-year-old is always bringing awareness to causes that he cares about; one of them is veganism. Hence, in order to make veganism more popular, he started his own burger company.

It won the ‘Inaugural Company of the Year Award’ by PETA; an award that recognizes restaurants that bring revolutionary vegan food to all. According to PETA, Hamilton’s burger company is, “Dishing up the delicious plant-powered fare that modern diners crave” and “introducing droves of people to delicious, protein-packed vegan meals.”

The vegan restaurant chain established in London is one of the UK’s fastest-growing. It now has six locations and wants to open 30 more in the near future.

The restaurant serves fast-food classics with a modern twist. Customers rave about the menu, which includes burgers, fries, shakes, and the company’s own vegan crispy Filet-No-Fish sandwich.
