Welcome

We are a first point of contact for vegetarians and vegans in East Lothian and offer a way for established vegetarians/vegans to make contact with like minded people as well as offering help and support to those thinking about becoming a vegetarian or vegan.
If you are interested in social outings, need information about any aspect of the vegetarian lifestyle/ vegetarian society or just need friendly local support please get in touch.
We are also happy to provide information to organisations - such as schools and businesses about how to cater for vegetarian and vegans and are also happy to set up an information stall at an event you may be planning!
We are affiliated to the Vegetarian Society through their local group network. If you need information about the work of the Society the new website offers a huge amount of vegetarian recipes, fact sheets, campaign information etc. Why not check it out?

Launch of New Website - Vegetarian Living Magazine!
Vegetarian Living is a new magazine for people who want to be inspired by vegetarian cooking - whether you are vegetarian, vegan or simply want to cut down your meat intake and eat more healthily. Vegetarian Living celebrates the food that's in season, with some of the best chefs and food writers in the UK today. We strongly believe that meat-free cooking can be delicious, easy and healthy, and aim to bring you an array of inspiring recipes each issue that will appeal to the whole family. As well as cooking, we have a passion for embracing a more sustainable and eco-friendly way of life (wellies not obligatory), so each issue will be packed with news, celebrity interviews, gardening advice, healthy-living ideas, money-saving tips, kids' cooking and eco-ideas... and much more.
