They are very disrespectful to vegans, in fact I would say it might perhaps be better for a vegan in the area to go to an omnivorous place which states that they cater for vegans. We went to the " Dick Willets " restaurant attached to the Toft hotel, after my mother-in-law had phoned on ahead and ascertained that they were OK with catering for vegans, but my husband got something with traces of cheese left on it, because what they had done is they had scraped off the cheese from something to supposedly make it vegan and hoped we would not notice. When we complained about this obviously stringy melted cheese on top of his aubergine with topping starter, we were told to leave! They did not deny that they had scraped the cheese off a lacto-veg dish (they could hardly deny it, it was very obvious!). We were not being awkward and have never known this to happen to us before. It was more humiliating being asked to leave than the actual cheese, if they had apologised for the mistake and sorted it out we would probably have been reasonably OK about it all. Sometimes this can probably happen without the proprietor's knowledge if there is one poorly trained member of staff who doesn't follow instructions properly, and we thought this might have been what happened, but this was not the case, it was the owner himself who was anti-vegan, and considered it totally acceptable for his staff to do this to vegans. Unfortunately there are just a few veggie establishments which are less respectful of vegans than some omni places. These places are few and far between, but I thought you should be warned about this one. A totally vegan-unfriendly place, even though vegetarian.
