Welcome

Welcome to the Chester Veggies website.

We are a newly formed group for Vegetarians and vegans in the Chester area who aim to make Chester a more veggie-friendly place to live.

We will be meeting regularly for meals out at restaurants with good veggie options (as well as providing information to those who aren't so good!), holding free information stalls to help show people how a veg*n diet benefits animals, people and the environment and helping new veggies or people looking to go vegetarian or vegan.

If you are interested or would like more information, get in touch by emailing Protected email address or calling 07962 385213

We also have an online guide to Chester with reviews of shops, restaurants and take-aways from a veggie perspective as well as a roundup of any vegge news in Chester.

In Chester, we are lucky enough to have a fair few outlets for veggie food, but it can still be difficult to know where to eat out or buy particular vegetarian/vegan products. Hopefully, this site will be able to help.

The Chester Vegetarian and Vegan group is in its early stages at the moment, but membership is growing rapidly. If you would like to get involved, or have any ideas about future events, get in touch!

We also offer information on the great reasons to go vegetarian or vegan, as well as highlighting issues in the local area which vegetarians/vegans might be interested in.

Chez Jules- "no more foie-gras"

I'm delighted to inform everyone that the French restaurant "chez Jules" have vowed never to serve foie-gras again. They have stated that they agree that from an animal-suffering view, foie-gras is unacceptable, and have no plans to serve it in future. The Chester grosvenor now is the only place in Chester where this horrific "delicacy" is sold, so we will continue our campaign against their serving of this.

Chez Jules serving of fois-gras

We have recently discovered ( thanks to Hayley Macquire of the Chester Evening Leader) that Chez Jules also serves foie-gras on its "gastranomique" menu. I have written to this restaurant regarding this, and if necessary will be handing leaflets to its customers to inform them of the vile way in which this supposed delicacy is produced.

Foie-Gras at the Grosvenor Hotel

We have recently become aware that The Grosvenor Hotel on Eastgate Street is serving foie-gras on their menu. The suffering involved in its production is unimaginable. For more information on this, click here

The production of foie-gras would contrevene UK animal welfare regulations, but due to EU legislation, it's import and sale in this country is perfectly legal.

Please write to The Grosvenor if you would like to express your feelings on this issue. To view their website, click here and you can make comments directly to them here

There will be people handing out leaflets on the cruel production of Foie-Gras- why not stop by? The first will be on Saturday 5th January from 10am-2pm- see Chester Action to Prevent Animal Suffering (CAPAS) website here for more information
