Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 The Vegetarian Society has picked its award winners for 2008 The Red Lion, Suffolk (01473 657799; www.theveggieredlion.co.uk) Winner of our Best Pub Award, The Red Lion in Great Bricett is East Anglia's first and only exclusively vegetarian pub. Our mystery diners gave top marks across the board for presentation, taste, texture, service – well pretty much everything! A mix of traditional meals such as Stilton, vegetable and chestnut cobbler, and international dishes such as African sweet potato stew, ensure that there’s something for every taste at the Red Lion. Canteen, Cardiff (02920 454999; www.canteenoncliftonstreet.com) Canteen gained some mixed reviews, but our diners enjoyed their food more with every course, with a slightly disappointing starter of mushroom ravioli, eclipsed by a tasty and original caramel cheesecake. Mains include vegetable goulasch with wild rice and beetroot in salsa verde, and braised tofu with vegetable green curry and fragrant rice. Happy and knowledgeable staff add to the Canteen experience. Demuths, Bath (01225 446059; www.demuths.co.uk) A regular feature on almost every award shortlist, Demuths did not disappoint with an eclectic range of beautifully presented and expertly cooked dishes. Our diners raved about the smoky squash scrunchies, Middle eastern mezze and Pistachio baklava. Other offerings include the shitake tofu cabbage roll and root vegetable gratin. Demuths can be on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for – great quality food and service. Relish, Hebden Bridge (01422 843587; www.relishhebden.co.uk) Hebden Bridge has the dubious distinction of being the second most alternative capital in the UK (behind Totnes), so the West Yorkshire town is a perfect setting for newly established Relish. Original food combinations such as tofu and squash skewer with satay sauce and savoury fruit and rice salad, set this apart from other veggie or organic cafes. Friendly and attentive staff make the atmosphere pleasant, but if you want to feel really merry, remember to bring your own wine, as the restaurant isn’t licensed yet. The George, Brighton (01273 681055) With a varied menu featuring numerous vegan options, The George scored above average for its main courses such as the oyster mushroom burger and enchiladas. Rather plain starters with undressed salad left our diners disappointed, but overall, they’d gladly recommend it to veggie visitors as a good value ‘fill-up’ in Brighton. Check out the recently introduced daily menu, which features the day's specials as well as perennial favourites like the Elvis burger, made from veggie bacon, banana, and peanut butter, or the Bangers and Mash, drizzled in the George’s special red-wine onion gravy. The 78, Glasgow (0141 5765018) A vegan bar-cafe in Glasgow may seem like a tall order, but the popular 78 certainly delivered for our diners, with great service, atmosphere and a good range of dishes. Described by the manager as "a bar that likes quality food", all offerings here are vegan-vegetarian, such as the baked haggis with baby potatoes and a mustard cream sauce, the sweet potato and cabbage soup, or the homemade falafel platter with sides that are updated daily. For dessert, taste the dark chocolate tort on a nutty biscuit base with cream and berries, or the crispy banana parcel with rum sauce and vanilla ice cream. InSpiral Lounge, London (020 74285875; www.inspiralled.net) The InSpiral Lounge calls itself London’s first organic vegetarian fast-food outlet. Munch on a nutrient-rich salad of seaweed, carrot, and Goji Berries with raw sesame hummus while listening to live music on Friday and Saturday nights. The lounge also offers full hot food and raw vegan buffets. For those on a budget, the curry and rice Camden Special costs less than two quid. Other popular mains include Thai massaman curry, as well as roast fennel and wild mushroom lasagne. The Bean Inn, Cornwall (01736 795918; www.coastcornwall.co.uk/beaninn.html) The Bean Inn in Cornwall thrives on the principles of taste, health and value. Ingredients are mostly local and organic, and you can feed the kids for half-price with their half-portion policy. Standout starters include the puy lentil, Stilton and walnut salad with a balsamic roasted beetroot dressing, as well as the mouth-watering fattoush. Mains include the Moroccan spiced vegetable casserole, pasta tortiglioni or Blue Cheese, white grape and red onion tart served with salad and potatoes. Do you agree/disagree with the judges' choices? Let us know about your favourite vegetarian restaurant in the comment box below The wholefood cafe in Machynlleth Powys provides a great range of organic veggie/vegan food and friendly service. Sian, Machynlleth, Wales Interested to see that The George beat Terre a Terre in Brighton to the list... The food at the George hasn't been the same since the kicthen staff changed earlier this year, but saying that, service at Terre a Terre, which can cost up to £40 per head, is appalling.

D & B is completely vegan, but the food is promoted in such a subtle way that you may not notice the absence of dairy, let alone meat. A beautiful setting by the Manchester-Rochdale canal, perfectly balanced dishes, (including herb pate and walnut bread, pea and wild mushroom risotto and dairy-free cheesecake), and a visionary approach to marketing make this joint winner of the Vegetarian Society Awards stand out. Joint winner: The Waiting Room, Stockton on Tees (01642 780465; www.the-waiting- room.co.uk) You won’t miss a traditional pie and pea supper at The Waiting Room. Autumn's menu boasts aubergine cannelloni, pumpkin, pea and parmesan risotto, with butternut squash and Yorkshire Blue cheesecake for dessert. A relaxed atmosphere and ‘unbelievably delicious’ food made The Waiting Room a worthy joint winner. This popular veggie restaurant was packed on a Wednesday night, so make sure you book early, or you will be kept waiting.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008  Hi Fraggle The only one I've been to is The George, in Brighton, which is excellent.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008  Hi Fraggle Well, it's been a while since I went to Brighton, but last time I went, I had a vegan sausage baguette with chips and salad, which I enjoyed immensley! Cafe Kino - it's not only all vegan, but all fair trade and local ingredients, is run as a workers co-operative, and hosts lots of underground-type workshops and events. My personal favourite is their leek, mushroom and "bacon" pie, but I've also had falafels, courgette koftas, the "Kino Burger", Thai green curry, various sandwiches, etc. - all of which are fantastic. They also do incredibly good pancakes, and a great chocolate cake! To give you an idea just how much I like them, we had our wedding-day lunch there!

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hi Fraggle I've been to Demuths in Bath(a few times). It is quite good, but in my opinion, no where near the best around. I guess there are a couple of vegan options. I've been to The George in Brighton (several times) and always enjoy the food. Plenty of vegan options. I've been to The Bean Inn in Cornwall. The food was very good. It is fairly posh, and a small place. It was so quiet (volume-wise). I would have preferred a little music so that you didn't feel that if you said something everyone would hear. I think all the food was vegan. I still prefer the Riverside Vegetaria in Kingston Upon Thames and a few others.
