It’s
official:
Brighton named ‘Best UK Destination for Vegetarians’
Brighton fought off stiff
competition from Edinburgh, Manchester and Glastonbury last night to
scoop The Vegetarian Society Award for ‘Best
UK Destination for Vegetarians’.
Nominated by members of the public, Brighton won because it offers a
fantastic selection of vegetarian cafés and restaurants, vegetarian
friendly accommodation and even vegetarian shoe shops! The city also
scored points for providing veggie visitors with excellent information
about suitable facilities.
The well known Brighton restaurant, and Vegetarian Society Restaurant
of the year in 2001, Terre á Terre, was a runner up in the Gourmet
Vegetarian Restaurant category.
Susie Smith from The Vegetarian Society Awards judging panel commented: “Brighton
came out on top because it offers vegetarians so much choice. Whatever
your budget and whatever your taste, Brighton not only caters for it,
it makes the information easy to find.”
The prestigious award was presented to Adam Bates, Brighton’s Head
of Tourism, and Roger Marlow, the president of the region’s hoteliers
association, at a glamorous ceremony at London’s Magic Circle last
night.
