Hi Lucy,
Vegan on Female First
I find it really hard to eat out as a vegan as a lot of places don't serve vegan food.
Hi Ellie,
I would suggest you download Happy Cow onto your phone- this will tell you all the places in your area that serve vegan food. You will also be able to find UK chains that offer vegan options too on The Vegan Society website. (http://bit.ly/2arBAfS)
If you see something that is veggie on the menu, often it can be make vegan with a few tweaks so if you ask your host they should be able to have a chat with the kitchen on your behalf, such as veggie pizza without the cheese and veggie fajitas without the sour cream. If you are concerned- contact them before you're due to go and ask what can be made vegan as a special order so you're not springing it on them at the last minute.
If you're eating at a big event- like a wedding- the great thing is you can specify any dietary needs in your acceptance letter. If you're only going to night do- ask the bride and groom if there will be and veggie options- if not- you can always take some of your own so you aren't putting them on the spot.
