Fortunately, Viva!’s new and updated Vegetarian Guide to the Lake District provides a timely boost for local businesses. Available at the incredibly low price of £1, this little pocket-book marvel contains the most up-to-date list available of vegetarian and vegan hotels, B&Bs, pubs, restaurants, cafes, healthfood shops, cruelty-free cosmetic and toiletry suppliers in the Lake District. And, of course, all are suitable for the many people who have been put off meat by scenes of mass slaughter and funeral pyres. Vegetarian Guide to the Lake District also offers a great, money-saving incentive to visitors and local Cumbrians alike. It can earn them pounds off their hotel and restaurant bills and shop buys with Viva!’s great new discount scheme. “There are genuinely big savings to made, with many places offering as much as 10 per cent discount,” says Rhian Langford, the guide’s editor. “All you have to do to claim your savings is produce a Viva! supporters card”.
