Get your glad-rags on and go on the town! Almost every café, pub and restaurant has at least one veggie option on the menu and some restaurants have a huge veggie choice - Italian, Indian, Thai, Lebanese and Turkish are the best. Chinese are variable but some have a separate veggie menu. Ask! If you don’t see anything you fancy, or you’d prefer a vegan dish, many chefs will rustle up an animal-free meal if you ask nicely!

The easiest choice is dedicated vegetarian eateries. For help in finding your nearest diner, Viva! sells a selection of veggie travel guides for the UK and abroad.

We can’t hold your hand around the supermarket but we can point you in the right direction. For more information, get the L Plate Vegetarian - a 36 page guide for learner veggies. Also available is the L Plate Vegan. Read them free online at www.viva.org.uk, or in hard-copy for £1 (plus 50p p&p) each.
