The answer, however, lies in the company name.</p><p>Seitan is a meat alternative made from wheat protein powder and you can add seasonings to it such as garlic, salt and pepper to give it some added flavour.</p><p>So next time you're in London make sure you pop along to the restaurant which opens in January 2017. </p>
