Real vegan shops are still very rare in the
UK - but what bliss, to be able to pick anything off the shelves without
having to check the ingredients.
The cafes and restaurants listed in
this section are all run by vegans (those marked 'virtually vegan' tend
to be 99% vegan, for example offering an all-vegan menu but with the choice
of soya or dairy milk in drinks). And finally, if you are looking for a
vegan holiday haven look no further than these vegan-run
guesthouses, holiday cottages and B&Bs...
