Vegetarian & vegan restaurants

Britain is considered one of the most vegetarian-friendly nations in Europe – this is probably because so many of us are vegetarians or vegans. It’s easy to find restaurants and eateries that serve delicious non-meat dishes, and most food places understand the difference between vegetarian and vegan and will be happy help you choose something that’s right for you.

A vegetarian diet is so common in fact that you’ll find most restaurants, pubs and fast food places offer vegetarian dishes. The variety and quality will of course depends on where you go so it’s worth having a little look around to make sure you’re getting a tasty choice of food rather than a burger “without the burger”.
