First past the post…

I guess this is a “welcome” to the first entry of veget8, a “blog critique” of restaurants and eating places in Exeter from the vegetarian perspective. Being a veggie is easier now then ever, with lots of products available from supermarkets giving veggies more choice! However, going out can be a gamble with some restaurants being either veggie friendly and providing an inspiring and delicious range, or ‘cheese-sandwich’ establishments, where there is meat in every meal and the alternative is cheese (non veggie) sandwiches with a bit of pathetic salad on the side.

The choice in Exeter itself, is sad. There are two veggie eating places, The Plant (on the Cathedral Green) and Herbies (in North Street). That is it. So the creation of this website stems from this factor, that veggies want to eat out, but not go through the embaressing rigmorole of negotiating with sore face waiting staff, reluctant to cater for ‘fussy eaters’ as some see it.

Feel you want to add something? Have a review? Then email (chris@veget8.co.uk) with a review between 250 – 500 words long (its not that much really!). I reserve the right to edit things, change grammar and that sort of thing.
