Too true, Im going on holiday soon to Scotland, there is one restaurant near our hotel and the only veg option is…wait for it..macaroni and cheese (they havent even bothered with anything other than cheesy pasta) and chips (yes as if it wasnt unhealthy enough already, added chips) I think Id better eat nothing all day to save room for that or simply starve!

Comment on Parmesan cheese is NOT vegetarian by Helen

I’m with you 100% I am sick and tired of having the ‘Parmesan’ conversation with people, thankfully Ive not had the ‘but you eat fish don’t you’ conversation. There is a pub near me in Wetherby (sub of Leeds) that does think fish is vegetarian, we saw V next to fish on the menu,we didnt go in!

I spent many my formative (student) years in Coventry, and the wedge was always good for a hot soup with crusty bread on a cold winters day between lectures.

Because it was so small inevitably lunch would be accompanied by a conversation with whoever was sharing your table. From Sport to Philosophy, History to Maths.

The Monty Python line ” Would you like a conversation with that?..” was always true at “The Wedge”.

Whatever happened to reactionary restaurants?

Tina,

Thanks for the comment – I didn’t even remember the mushroom pate sandwiches. Yes, it’s a shame that The Wedge is no longer there.

If you are still in Coventry then Browns is worth a try. Good food, good selection, lots of vegetarian.

Mark,

I visited Coventry yesterday, for the first time in over 10 years and was upset to see The Wedge had gone.

I lived in Coventry for 8 years and was always in The Wedge. My favourite was their mushroon pate sandwich, – must have consumed hundreds.

You describe the atmosphere well. The staff were all friendly. I remember John who I think moved north and Mike, and I think the chubby guy upstairs was Mike too.(not sure).

So many fond memories. Where has everyone gone?

I have to say that I do not agree, I had a lovely time at this cafe and wish there was one close to where I lived. The owners are clearly vegetarian/ vegan and understand the needs of a vegetarian. The bean burger has been changed as it was clearly a delicious home made vegetarian burger. All the food was very fresh and well prepared. The staff that we had were friendly and chatty and we had a lovely afternoon. I would try it out for yourselves and make your own opinion. I loved it.

@Veg Girl, it’s a shame what you found.

When I visited Terra Viva it had just opened. I found it a bit iffy but I was hoping that they would get better …unfortunatey your comments suggest otherwise

Thanks for the feedback.

Mark.

I actually don’t think the owners or staff are vegetarian. It’s the worst place I’ve ever eaten in, and the staff don’t care one way or another whether the customers are happy or have been cooked the correct order. There is no friendliness in the place whatsoever, just a chilling and intimidating atmosphere and I would certainly never, ever go back.

Hi Andrea,
Good to hear from you and thanks for the comment : – )
I think it was Herbs Vegetarian Restaurant in Coventry that eventually became Brooklands Grange.

Hey Mark: It's Andrea from Vegetarian Lifestyle Guide. I vaguely remember The Wedge, I think I may be a bit young!! I do remember a veggie place I used to go to that I think finally became 'The Brooklands Grange' hotel or am I imagining that? Great blog by the way! Will be following from now on!
