Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Has anyone travelled to England (Britain) and can they say if they found much in the way of child-friendly veggie restaurants ? I'm compiling a list of these - you can email me directly if the list has had that discussion before. Thanks, Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Hi Frank: My husband is English and we go there at least twice a year. We are veggie (not vegan), have 2 small children and have never had a problem. You can always find a restaurant that has a few veggie options, however, Brighton (in the south, on the coast) is extremely progressive and has tons of veggie restaurants, I can't remember any of the names of course, but I bet you could find it on the web. You will hopefully visit some country pubs while you are there and they usually have at least one vegetarian entree on the menu and are pretty accommodating. If you eat fish -- the fish and chips was a big eat with my 3 year old. We also ate Italian a lot, Pizza Express is a chain although it doesn't feel like one; The food is good, inexpensive and they are very child friendly. Also Tesco (grocery store chain) has great organic food. have fun!

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Frank, I made a trip to London with my five-year-old son this spring and we had no trouble eating (apart from the fact that my son is off the charts for pickiness). Pizza Express is great for both adults and children -- the pizza veneziana is my favorite. There are also cafes in most of the museums that are easy for tourists and offer good, nutritious food. In Neal's Yard, in Covent Garden, is the Whole Foods Cafe, which is casual and extremely good with a huge menu. There's also Food for Thought there as well. Pret a Manger is a chain of take-away shops that I fell back on when we'd had a tiring day and wanted to eat picnic style in our hotel room. Also places like Marks and Spencer and Harrods have great food halls that offer prepared meals, sandwiches, salads, etc. The Brits are extremely vegetarian-friendly (didn't they just ban fox hunting finally?). Hope this helps. Let me know if you need more general info about traveling to England with a child. Terry - Frank Wilson Tuesday, September 14, 2004 12:27 PM Travel Tips?

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 << In Neal's Yard, in Covent Garden, is the Whole Foods Cafe >> Oh say this isn't so! Or do you mean that Neal's Yard now has another place called " Whole Foods Cafe " in addition to " Food for Thought " ? The thought of a Whole Foods in Neal's Yard is just too painful to bear. Neal's Yard was health food back when such a thing was decidedly un-trendy. BTW, I agree with all the other responders that Britain is easier than most of the States when it comes to finding vegetarian food. You shouldn't have any problem.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 IME, Britain is a darn sight more veggie-friendly nowadays than North America. My kids always found pizza or chips (french fries to you) or *something* to wolf down, and we enjoyed excellent vegetarian food, as well. Just about any half-decent restaurant will do, but certainly all Indian ones. Have a good trip! Be well, Hadass. , Frank Wilson <fwilson@i...> wrote: > Has anyone travelled to England (Britain) and can they say if they found > much in the way of child-friendly veggie restaurants ? > I'm compiling a list of these - you can email me directly if the list has > had that discussion before. > > Thanks, > > Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
