September 2002
Bed and Veggie Breakfast at Settle
in Yorkshire Dales Limestone Country



Set in an area of dramatic peaks, limestone scars, waterfalls and caves, the Oast Guest House offers a warm Yorkshire welcome and fantastic food. Vegetarian and vegan breakfasts and optional 2-3 course dinners are prepared using fresh, local produce to the high standards of the Vegetarian Society Food and Drink Guild. The Oast House also understands that guests may have special dietary requirements and will happily cater for individual needs.

The Oast Guest House is situated close to the centre of Settle, an unspoilt old market town (its charter dates back to 1249) at the southern edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and in the Ribble Valley. It is a natural and ideal base for exploring this beautiful area of Yorkshire.

Proprietors, Margaret and Tony King, offer a wealth of local knowledge and with their extensive walking experience, will help you make the most of your stay. Relax in the guest lounge and take advantage of the tourist information literature, including guides and local history. Maps of the area are also provided for your use and packed lunches are available for those who want to walk all day!

For more information or to book a room in this fine Victorian establishment please contact Margaret King on 01729 822 989.

Membership of The Food & Drink Guild is only available to caterers that demonstrate a clear understanding of the requirements of a vegetarian lifestyle and have had their menus, recipes, ingredients and procedures approved by The Society.

Members of the Food and Drink Guild Scheme are able to use the Society’s approved logo (the seedling symbol).

The Vegetarian Society's trademark seedling symbol was established in 1969. Since then it has become the most widely recognised and trusted stamp of vegetarian approval anywhere in the world. The strength of the symbol is based on products meeting firm criteria. No other symbol gives consumers such reassurance and inspires the trust that comes from The Vegetarian Society seedling approved symbol.

The Vegetarian Society, a registered educational charity, is the oldest vegetarian organisation in the world. It offers an independent voice to promote and provide information on vegetarianism.

The Vegetarian Society Awards 2002, which promote good practice in the vegetarian food and catering industries will be held on 7 November 2002 at The Waldorf Hotel, The Strand, London.
