Quorn is the leading brand of mycoprotein food product in the UK and a leading brand elsewhere. Mycoprotein is the generic term for protein-rich foodstuffs made from processed edible fungus.





Quorn is produced as both a cooking ingredient and a range of ready meals. Quorn is sold (largely in Europe but also in other countries) as a healthy food and an alternative to meat, especially for vegetarians. As it uses egg white as a binder, it is not suitable for vegans.

The Quorn Hunt is one of the oldest in England and was founded in 1696, by Mr. Thomas Boothby of Tooley Park, Leicestershire. The Hunt takes it's name from the village of Quorn, where the hounds were kennelled from 1753 until 1904.





The Quorn is probably one of the best known hunts in Great Britain, and it is known far outside the work of foxhunting. It extends a warm welcome many visitors from the both the UK and internationally.
