Black eyed bean & green lentil, Aduki bean curry, Thai chickpea and
Chickpea with wakame. They can be made gluten free to order. Served
with fresh salads, homemade Onion & ginger marmalade and homemade Olive
tapenade, in a choice of bread rolls. You can also buy them frozen in
packs of 4 of your choice to take home for £4.50.

containing raw chocolate.
The only things on the stall which are not vegan are the Glamorgan

is a network of cooks producing and selling unique vegetarian
food, sold direct, primarily at farmers markets.
The dishes change from season to season but the Indian Summer
Pie, vegan and a Silver British Pie Award winner, is available
for most of the year.
Other examples of vegan options include: Puy Lentil & Porcini
Pate, Beetroot Nut Bomb, breads baked in flowerpots, Kale &
Chickpea Curry with tamarind and Mushroom, Nut & Sage Burgers.
Everything is vegetarian; it is approved by the Vegetarian
Society and is well worth supporting.

they not interested in catering for vegans they also serve shark fin
soup. This is a very bad thing.
