Women in Business Lunch, Friday 25th May
“Britain’s Best Vegetarian Restaurant” awarded by the Vegetarian Society. Established since 1989 this is the only vegetarian restaurant in the Kingston area. They offer a wide variety of vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and wheat-free dishes. Their ingenious chefs are prepare the dishes with minimal amounts of fat, using only extra virgin olive oil. If the weather permits their doors can be opened out onto the riverbank and al fresco dining is almost irresistible so we might enjoy lunch while looking out over the River.
