THE
BEAN COUNTER OF CHORLTON,
JOINS THE VEGETARIAN SOCIETY FOOD AND DRINK GUILD
September 2002
The Vegetarian Society
recommends that residents of Chorlton and visitors to this fashionable
Manchester ‘village’ should take time out to enjoy some of
the fabulous-and mostly organic - food available from The Bean Counter
on
Wilbraham Road.
Run by former accountant
Morag Wright (the bean counter herself), this delightful establishment
offers a delicious array of handmade vegetarian snacks and light meals
to eat in, as well as offering a selection of vegetarian goodies for
sale
in their retail section. Enjoy your food or beverage in the laid back
café area or take a seat outside and soak up Chorlton's unique
atmosphere and watch the world go by. Alternatively pay a visit to
The
Sand Bar on Grosvenor Street (just off Oxford Road) where The Bean Counter
are serving up a new weekday bar menu.
The Vegetarian Society
is delighted to welcome The Bean Counter to The
Food & Drink Guild, membership of which 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.
