    Default Went to an accommodating gastropub

    Firstly I hope I am posting this in the right place.
    Secondly I hope this message gets through as the pub is named after a male chicken

    I was invited out by my boss but was worried about what I would eat as it is not a vegan place and I have only been vegan for two months.

    So I want to give a shout out to The C**k Inn Burton Upon Trent area.
    They made me carrot and courgette soup (no butter,cream) with olive oil , salt & pepper toast.
    Stuffed pepper ,on a bed of rice with ratatouille .
    Hot sweet cherries in cherry sauce.

    It was all really tasty and it's nice to know there is somewhere "safe" to fall back on for another time

    Hi there receiving you loud and clear - thanks for the tip, although that seems a slightly odd name for an inn, guess the software may have censored the male chicken

    I find more and more places are cottoning on to vegan food particularly if you give them a bit of warning. So you timed going vegan well from that point of view

    I was quite worried and was even thinking of not going , because now that I am vegan I could never go back. Luckily my boss gave me the number and I was reassured by the chef.
    Some people don't understand me yet , I told one person I was vegan , then she offered me a drink that had cream in it , but on the flip side she said she didn't like meat all that much , so I was able to share with her the "sausages" I had brought with me.
    I must admit that I do regret all the years that I have eaten like I did , I came from an uneducated meat and two veg family and thought that eating like that was "normal" , but all I can do is try to help other people to think differently by leading by example and spreading the word.

    Yes I think most/all vegans feel like that, but I suppose we can try and use the memory of what stopped us from doing it earlier to deal with other people's reservations...sounds as if you've got a few people thinking about it already
