The Gravy Bar wants to right these wrongs with vegetarian and vegan options, served alongside flavours including:

The Classic – the one your mum used to make back in the ‘90s
Our Beasto – filled with the “thickest, filthiest, darkest meat”
Lost Incan – an onion base made from an “ancient and secretive” recipe
Hot Chilli – a tangy Korean spice flavour it warns is “strictly for the bravest”

After selecting a gravy, customers choose a main from options including pie, mash of the day, a giant Yorkshire pudding, chips (obvs) and, unusually, a BYO Pie option, “for when no-one else’s pie is good enough.”

Plus, the Gravy Bar’s owners are not daft when it comes to pricing. Dubbing itself a “deluxe cuisinery,” the gravy options cost between £3 and £4 a serving. That’s more expensive than a flat white at an artisanal coffee house in Shoreditch.

Mega-fans can even take their own flask to fill up on the good stuff to take home.

It sounds too good to be true. Let’s hope it’s not.

At last - Britain's first gravy bar is coming
