I've seen these mini directories fall by the wayside in the past, but I wish the author the best.

As someone that likes to eat vegan food and having worked in a vegan cafe, I think it's important to clearly state if an outlet has a vegetarian/vegan kitchen. That's very appealing to me. To be honest I've gotten lazy at asking in a lot of places about how they prepare their food.

We have something called a chip shop in the UK, where you can buy deep fried chips, sausages, chicken and fish. Some places keep the vat of fat for chips separate to the meat and fish friers, others mix it all up, and some chip shops (especially up norf'), use animal fats to fry in. I've bought countless bags of chips only to discover small bits of fish, or find the chips taste of chicken. Even in some places where I've asked and they've assured me otherwise. To be frank some people are too thick to even answer the question if posed or just don't care. I know for a fact the veggie burgers in Grubbs in Brighton were fried in the meat friers (though that might be past practice). It's also a bit of a turn off for me to watch someone make me a sandwich after they've just prepared someone elses and handled meat.

I'd like a veggie chip shop friendly list (if you can ever call a chip shop that)! I should cobble something together myself.

Where others have ascertained that the kitchen is veggie friendly, that's good information to share.
