Veggies is volunteer-led, a community-based, social enterprise. We have been promoting vegan catering and supporting campaigns for animal rights, environmental protection and social justice since 1984. Partly due to our work vegetarianism is now mainstream, and veganism widely understood. Veggies Catering Campaign provides food at almost any event - from campaign rallies to community festivals, from family celebrations to green gatherings. We offer tasty, wholesome snacks, as well as information exploring the links between diet, animal suffering and the environment. See our tour dates here.

Pure fruit juices and fresh vegetables are used along with wholemeal bread. All products are made from natural ingredients, with no artificially added preservatives, flavourings or colourings. We aim to provide a balance between organically grown and/or locally produced ingredients. See example menus here.

We have a policy of minimal packaging and promote the use of recycled goods. We investigate everything that we use to avoid animal products, those tested on animals and those from the result of human oppression, seeking guidance from the Ethical Consumer Magazine. Many suppliers are other independent local businesses, including Screaming Carrot and Lembas Wholefoods. The ecological & vegan cleaning supplies that we use can be bought from us, on a retail, bulk or refill basis.

A directory of other caterers, who might be able to help at events that we are unable to attend, is compiled by Veggies, as part of the Vegan Business Connection, to support groups working to promote a healthy and compassionate lifestyle in other areas.

Veggies is a workers' co-operative, though workers take minimum wages, preferring to live simply so that others might simply live. We receive welcome support from a team of dedicated volunteers. To join us Click Here
