Wagamama, one of the UK's favourite high street restaurant chains, is introducing a tantalising new brunch menu to its extensive Asian offerings.

From Wednesday, July 17, food enthusiasts will be able to enjoy a menu that combines elements of classic Wagamama dishes with a breakfast twist, as well as innovative interpretations of brunch staples.

The brunch menu will be served between 8.30am and 11.30am at 22 locations across London, and in the North and South of the country.

Patrons can choose from small plates, larger plates or sharing options. Standout dishes include the chicken katsu waffle, which marries two iconic dishes: the waffle and katsu chicken.

This dish features a perfectly golden-brown waffle topped with Wagamama's renowned crispy panko-crusted chicken.

Customers also have the option to top their waffles with either a savoury or sweet topping, choosing between the classic katsu sauce or a miso caramel vegan ice cream with a rich toffee sauce. For those seeking a plant-based alternative, Wagamama will offer delectably indulgent banana katsu waffles, reports Wales Online.

In response to customer demand for bao buns, Wagamama has developed a range of 'morning baos'. These fluffy buns come filled with a choice of bacon, sausage, vegan bacon or vegan sausage.

The menu will also feature irresistible sides such as crispy Japanese-style corn fritters and bold, flavourful bang bang hash browns. These are perfect for sharing to ensure everyone gets a taste.

In addition to the food, Wagamama is introducing a range of new drinks to its brunch menu, including cocktails and mocktails. Standouts include a breakfast in Tokyo, a sweet and zesty papaya gin with a blood orange and yuzu sherbet kick, topped with prosecco, and a spicy mary, their twist on a classic served with haku vodka, soy, teriyaki and spices (also available as a mocktail).

The menu will also offer mindful mocktails like the fiery spiced plum, orange and ginger juice and an espresso coke to which customers can add a scoop of miso caramel vegan ice cream. For coffee lovers, Wagamama is partnering with London-born coffee brand, Grind, to serve up lattes and americanos aplenty.

Come July, Wagamama and Grind will hit the road with the 'Grind bus'. Wagamama continues its partnership with Jenki, introducing the delicious new matcha latte and the iced strawberry and matcha latte.

For those seeking something a bit lighter, they can opt for the refreshing, revitalising acai bowls with fresh fruit, toasted soya wow butter and crunchy granola. Also on offer is a creamy chia and coconut overnight oats topped with nourishing mandarin and sour cherry.

Kay Bartlett, chief marketing officer, announced: "We've seen an increase in consumer demand for an all-day dining offering and appetite for brunch dishes. This announcement is in response to that, and we're thrilled to introduce our Wagamama take on brunch."

She further added, "The decision to open our restaurants at 8.30am has involved a great amount of hard work and dedication from our brilliant teams and we're all really proud and excited about this latest round of innovation and chapter in the Wagamama story."
