I'm vegan and was well catered for. I could always get basics like bread, butter and oat milk. If there wasn't anything I wanted from the buffet selection the lovely Chef Vijay would make sure to have someone make something for me. I had some delicious curry's, salads and deserts. All the dishes are well labeled with V, VE, D etc.

I'm vegan and found it very difficult to eat all week. They had a plain salad bar but I'm not the kind of vegan to eat just lettuce daily. All the decent salads had cheese or animal mixed in. In the restaurants it stated "vegan" but then still stated "Milk".
