LEON unveils spring reset menu

Reading Time: 3 mins read

Following John Vincent’s return to ownership LEON has been promising a reset of its menu, and this spring the first shoots of change have sprung. Think flavour, freshness, gut health and good mood food.

Following the rebirth of its beloved fish finger wrap last month, 29th April sees the introduction of LEON’s new Mushroom Magic rice box, and the return of the Grilled Chicken rice boxes that helped build the reputation of the brand in the first place.

Expect more generous, nourishing boxes, a renewed focus on gut health, and vibrant new sauces from LEON’s chef, Chantal.

Mushrooms take centre stage in this menu. Cooked with garlic and parsley, they deliver rich umami depth and a satisfying, meaty texture – a plant-based main without compromise.

Next is a reworking of all of LEON’s chicken, where chargrilled thigh is marinated in garlic, parsley, lemon and extra virgin olive oil for deeper flavour and added nutritional benefit.

Sauces remain key. A brighter, herbaceous salsa verde returns, while a smoky romesco – made with toasted pumpkin seeds, roasted red peppers and sherry vinegar – adds depth, balance and a personal touch inspired by long Spanish summers. This is LEON, reset for spring.

LARGE BOXES

A new category designed to deliver more from every meal – more colour, more plants, more nourishment. Each box is built around fibre-rich brown rice, a variety of vegetables, and gut-friendly ferments. Alongside a refreshed slaw with zesty lemon dressing, golden kraut and fermented purple carrots bring brightness and digestive benefits. Finished with fresh herbs, seven seed mix and a squeeze of lemon, these are boxes designed to work harder for you.
