World Vegan Day

The NTV Guide

World Vegan Day is on November 1st, and to help those who want to go green just for the day or offer up some inspiration to those already choosing the vegan life, Menulog's got vegans (and those cheeky flexitarians) covered.
 
A recent survey from Just Eat, Menulog's parent company and online food delivery service with delivery hubs in 15 countries, has reported 33 per cent of its partner restaurants have needed to introduce vegan options to meet new demand.
 
Looking at the ins-and-outs of the growing lifestyle trend, the bitesize Menulog New To Vegan (NTV) Guide helps you decipher what's vegan on the menu and what's not and the best places you can find delicious meat-free alternatives. We've also included the top plant-based dishes from some of the country's favourite vegan places, available via Menulog to be delivered straight to your door. 

World Vegan Day Top Tips

Vege vs Vegan Don't mistake a vegetarian option for a vegan option. Your local Thai place's Pad Thai with tofu still contains egg and fish sauce – two items off the menu if you're sticking to a plant-based diet

Breaky Watchout Watch out for a drizzle of Worsterchire Sauce on breakfast, as the condiment tends to contain anchovies

Be fussy Tweak the dishes to suit your needs, you can add and remove most ingredients when ordering from an online food delivery service like Menulog by making a note to the kitchen at the end of your order

Ordering Indian? Hold on the Naan. Despite the simplicity of the bread and garlic, it's surprisingly prepared with yoghurt. Go for the Roti if you can't have your curry without your carbs

Vegan Asian  Order Veggie tempura when ordering sushi or Japanese can often contain egg, as can fresh pasta, and sadly, simple potato chips
