Menu Planners

In our Catering Guide we give Menu Ideas to caterers for a 4 week cycle of meals. But the ideas are equally good for individual vegetarians or vegans. Please note:

We are not suggesting that you follow these planners specifically. They are simply intended to show how easy it is to cater for vegetarians or vegans, with variety and nutrition taken into account.
The menus are examples only, and cover a mixture of seasons
The planners aim for a good daily nutritional balance, and great food variety over each week
Many alternatives can be substituted, including ready-made foods
All the meals can be served to non-vegetarians – and many are designed so they can be prepared alongside similar non-veggie meals
Items such as shepherd’s pie, sausage, bolognese etc – mean the vegetarian versions!
