VegetarianVisitor Guide to England
Vegetarian friendly accommodation & eating out in England from Cornwall to Berwick
Vegetarian Visitor is the number one annually updated and award winning UK vegetarian guide to accommodation, B&B, guest houses, hotels, pubs cafes, vegetarian restaurants which take catering for healthy eaters, vegetarians and vegans seriously - used internationally by the British Tourist Authority.
Although vegetarianism has been around as a concept for thousands of years (Hinduism, Jainism, Budhism and greek philosophers such as Pythagorous) worldwide and for hundreds of years in England (thanks to Rev Cowherd and Mr Brotherton) English vegetarians didn't really start to get their wholemeal bread buttered and their Homity Pie baked until 1961 when Cranks was born in London's trendy Carnaby Street. Many followed their lead.
Now, in the very best of London Hotels and restaurants (even in Gordon Ramsay's ) it's a sign of neglect if they don't have a vegetarian or more commonly now a vegan option on their menu to placate their celebrity and VIP clientele. You can find pretty much what ever rocks your culinary boat from healthy burger bars or a mind blowing array of delicious salads to epicurian gourmet raw botanical 5 *****
Elsewhere many English caterers and proprietors complain there is no demand for vegetarian options, completely missing the irony that their menu's shout from the front door that those who prefer healthier plant based choices are not welcome in their establishment.
Here we list the establishments in England who will provide you with exquisite epicurian salvation (even in areas where chefs still suffer from culinary repression and are a little culturally retarded when it comes to creating healthy plant based dishes) .
See the sights of England such as Trafalgar Square, Tower Bridge and Buckingham Palace in London, Stonehendge in Salisbury, Shakespeare's globe theatre, Warwick Castle, the Lake District, the Roman Baths in Bath and Viking ruins in York and all the hidden gems in between in the comfort of a nearby vegetarian friendly establishment. England is steeped in history with castles, waterfalls, walks, desserted beaches, forests , wildlife and beautiful scenery to explore - enjoy!
