Now that is a question that can be debated at length, but ultimately it does not work in with what we want to be doing at the moment. We know that it works very successfully in many places around the world and we would be the first to acknowledge that there is a time and place for everything.

We don’t serve mock meat for our own reasons below:

- it is a heavily processed food

- some mock meat contains egg and dairy anyway

- heavily processed soy is incredibly bad for you

- it is essentially fast food

Mock meat does not fit in with our ethos so we like to stick to meals that were never intended to have meat in the first place.

We use grains, veggies, fruit, beans and legumes i.e. eliminating as much as possible that has been processed and instead turning to a purer way of eating. For that reason we don’t have any microwaves and use the gas stove only.
