When I started this list a few years ago, I knew the grand total of three places that I could walk into and order vegan food straight off the menu. Now this list is huge!
Everywhere I've listed offers delicious vegan food on their main menu (or provides a separate vegan menu) without any requirement for adjustments or pre-ordering.
Please note that in the wake of Covid-19, I've decided to focus my attention and support on our precious local independents and small chains who don't have massive marketing budgets, so you will no longer find the national chains listed on here unless there are no independents close by.
If you think I've missed somewhere, please let me know here!
