Primary 7 age group from schools all over the Highlands of Scotland. In
our dining room and in the reception area last year we publicised Vegetarian
Week with your posters. The school which was resident during Vegetarian
Week enjoyed trying the vegetarian options on our menus - each child receiving
one of your veggie stickers if they tried something veggie for the first
time. The teachers were very supportive and we plan to do the same this
year during week commencing 20th April, when we have two Primary Schools
