Tips for Eating out

Vegan Pizza Party

 

Fast Food

Subway’s Veggie Delight Sub (including the patty) is an easy and delicious option if you’re on the run (and is vegan if ordered without the cheese). Domino’s make a vegetarian pizza that can easily be made vegan if requested without the cheese too. All decent kebab outlets including Ali Baba, the Kebab Co and UTK make tasty vegetarian felafel kebabs, and can be found pretty much everywhere.

Non-Vegetarian Restaurants

Don’t be scared about visiting a non-veg restaurant. Most places have vegetarian (and vegan) options on their menu, and those that don’t are often happy to prepare something vegetarian on request. Chinese, Thai and Indian restaurants usually have a wide variety of non-meat options—and the more you order, the more incentive they have to expand their vegetarian menu! So get out there, and be adventurous!

Visiting Friends and Family

Even though you know it’s easy to find and prepare tasty vegetarian food, your friends and family may not always ‘get it’. The best way around this is to offer to bring a cruelty-free dish to share—this way others can learn first-hand how interesting and delicious veggie food can be!
