Catering Guide
Welcome to this guide to catering for vegans in hospitals and care homes. The Vegan Society often receives queries from this part of the catering industry so we have now compiled all our recommendations into these handy pages.
Don’t be daunted by the idea of providing vegan food. It can be done with relative ease and these catering pages show you how. The simple step-by-step format takes you through the basics and you should find an answer to many of the questions that you have on the topic.
We explain exactly what vegans do and do not eat and why people choose to go vegan. We offer practical advice on ensuring that dishes are vegan and a list of useful suppliers and take you through suggested menus, recipes and nutritional advice.
In terms of health a vegan diet is no cause for concern. In fact a well-balanced vegan diet is up there with the healthiest of diets.
We outline some vegan nutrition essentials here. If you want to find out more, download a copy of our nutrition booklet (or if you are in the UK you can contact us to request a free paper copy) or purchase our comprehensive nutrition book 'Plant based nutrition and health' .
