  • Features on Top Ten Veggie Destinations
  • Munchie maps of Brighton, Edinburgh, Liverpool, central London

About Veggie Guides

We don’t do the usual naff reviews by a person who’s tasted one dish at 1,000 restaurants in 3 months. Instead we list all the nice looking vegan dishes with prices, and get as much info as we can from local veggies who eat there all the time. We don’t judge. If a place isn’t up to standard we leave it out. We figure if it’s still open someone likes it, so we give enough info for the students to pick the cheapie places, the couples to spot the ones with candles, and the business types to know where to go to impress. Of course if a place delights everyone we might rave about it.

“This guide to Vegetarian Britain is one of the brightest ideas we’ve come across in a long time. It’s a little cracker of a book which tells you where to find really good vegetarian food – from a snack to a slap up gourmet meal.” –
Paul and Linda McCartney (on the first edition of Vegetarian Britain)
