After a lot of research he sourced a plant based burger patty that he's convinced even meat eaters will enjoy.

Lazy Lettuce has built up a core following through weekly pop ups at the Well café at Nicolson Square, Bijou Bistro by Leith Links and the Leith walk policebox.

But have been looking for a more permanent venue.

Marvin said: "I grew up in a family where every meal would include a large portion of meat.

"When I became vegetarian and later vegan I never quite lost the taste for meat and have never been satisfied with the offerings on the market for realistic meat-like veggie burgers.

"This is why we set out to provide vegan meat-alternatives for vegans, vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.

"We have had great reception to our weekly pop-up venue and we hope we can take our offering to the next step by having a more permanent fixture in the meadows. We encourage everyone, meat-eaters and vegans and vegetarians alike to take the taste challenge!"

Lazy Lettuce will initially be open on Saturdays and Sundays from 11.30am to 2.30pm.
