England - super veg friendly

We are on the second leg of this European adventure and just wrapping up out time in Buxton, England with our great friends (more like family) - Dan, Fiona, Aidan and Will. Along with plenty of adventures we have eaten up a storm. I was happy to find delicious vegan, gluten-free options in every place we went, including very off the beaten track spots in the middle of hills and dales of green pastures.


Some of the highlights included our very favorite right here in Buxton called "The Hydro" (www.thehydrocafe.com). Here we met the owner Sammie who goes out of his way to please every palate. If we stayed just a bit longer we would have tried his vegan, gluten free "Fish and Chips" which will be on his new upcoming menu. We also ate at Simply Thai and Ithaca Greek Taverna in Buxton and were pleased with their options as well.

Turmeric latte - health in a cup

Our travels around included a visit to Macclesfield where we ate at The Button Warehouse and to Manchester with a return visit to a favorite from last year - The Earth Cafe.

Liverpool was a new city for us and we ate at the thirty year old vegetarian restaurant - The Egg Cafe. This full and nutritious meal was chickpea and potato dahl, coleslaw and carrot salad.

Hassop Station - hummus and grilled veggies

Most exciting was while walking an old railroad path converted to a walking path called the Monsal Trail which passes through many old railroad tunnels. All of a sudden one comes upon the Hassop Station where there was a large restaurant with many vegetarian options. I had one of the best meals there, perhaps because we had just walked 5 miles and had 5 to go.

So, my friends, when traveling in England you will find many options of plant-based food.
