Cooked breakfasts – even the ‘full British’ – are not a problem for vegetarians and vegans. Veggie sausages and bacon are available and combine perfectly with mushrooms, beans, hash browns, grilled tomatoes and eggs or tofu scramble.

Of course, these days a cereal-based breakfast is more common, perhaps with toast and fruit juice.  It’s easy to have soya milk and vegan margarine available for vegans. Breakfast can be made more interesting by including:

• Instead of ‘regular’ branded cereals - granola, good quality mueslis, ‘soaked’ (overnight) oat flake and fruit mixes, porridge
• Instead of fruit juice – grapefruit, prunes, fruit salads, dried fruit compote
