The Vurgers use a selection of vegetables, seeds, nuts and legumes that are combined for their popular menu.

The funds that have been raised are going to go towards a permanent site for the company.

This outstanding response has made the fundraising event the fastest ever restaurant raise to take place on the popular crowdfunding platform Crowdcube. The co-founders Neil and Rachel wanted to raise £180,000 to be exchanged for 23.08% equity on a permanent restaurant site. However when the campaign closes on the 6th of July, the company had raised £300,00 which means that the co-founders could increase their equity offer to 33.33%.
