The online Vegan Guide to Bristol was made possible by Yaoh and someone else, and is intended to be a light hearted positive glimpse at all things vegan in the area.

Most of the text (especially the locations and articles) is from 'A Vegan Guide to Bristol' produced by Yaoh, some being from previous guides. Any enquiries about the 'official' guide should be to Yaoh.

Any enquiries about the Bristol Vegan Fayre should also be to Yaoh, the organisers.

The superb graphic design of the 'official' guide is down to Nick from Dot Nine.

It is created free and the authors do not charge for their services (which often stretch late into the night)

Shout outs also need to go to fayre and guide sponsors Essential, Wild Oats, Suma, Beanies Health Foods, Earthbound, and the Vegan Society.

And big up to all those who advertised in the guide, appreciated.

If you are new to the vegan diet or are making the transition from a meat or dairy based diet, or even just looking to reduce your meat intake, then welcome ... and we know how hard it can be at the beginning, especially when trying to eat out or entertain, or shop cheaply or conveniently.

This guide should provide most of the answers you're looking for, and help reassure people that many businesses and establishments are used to dealing with the vegan lifestyle, have plenty of choice, knowledge and experience in the area, and are approachable and friendly on the issue.
