OTHER CAFES

The following cafes are NOT vegetarian but they do offer quick vegan snacks. There are a number of them scattered throughout central London:

Starbucks- sell a falafel vegan wrap/panini.

The above cafes, as well as the other main chains of coffee-shops (eg Nero, Costa etc) offer soya milk in addition to cows milk.


PIZZA RESTAURANTS - Warning!

Many vegans wrongly assume that all pizza without cheese is vegan. In some pizza restaurants in the UK the pizza base or the tomato sauce contain dairy or other animal-derived ingredients. Also, pasta dishes are often made using egg pasta! A summary of the main pizza restaurants follows.

Pizza Express have written to us to confirm that that their pizza bases are suitable for vegans, as is their tomato base which is simply fresh tomatoes, salt, pepper and fresh basil. They state it is important for you to mention how strict your diet is to the manager on duty, so as the chef can implement all necessary procedures to avoid cross contamination. (We further understand that on request the dough balls, bruschetta and garlic breads can be made without dairy ingredients, substituting olive oil indstead).

Ask Restaurants (ASK) have confirmed that that their Margharita, Mushroom, and Vegetariana pizzas (ordered without cheese, of course!) are suitable for vegans.

Dominos Pizza have a number of vegetarian pizzas listed on their website but the pizza bases contain milk!

Pizza Hut: they have now reformulated and the pizza bases are now apparently suitable for vegans.

If you know of a vegan restaurant that isn't listed, or a vegetarian restaurant that caters well for vegans, then please contact us.
