If you feel awkward or nervous about having to order vegetarian, when our with a group of meat eaters, the best plan of action is to do your research before hand.

Most restaurants will have a menu online that you can scour in your own time, and many have their full nutritional dietary information online also.

If you can’t find anything on their site, it’s OK to ring up and enquire with a waiter or host. Remember they’d much rather you do this than choose somewhere else to eat.

Once you’re at the table and ordering, don’t feel too awkward  about asking questions if you’re unsure. Just remember to be polite and understanding with the kitchen if there’s something that can’t be made vegetarian.

We promise, it will only feel awkward for the first couple of times!
