No! We are regular customers at some of them, but that is our only connection.

Yes, you're very welcome. You can be as anonymous as you like, but all we ask is that you are balanced. Neither totally glowing, or totally condemning reviews are helpful. Even if you hated a place, try to think of at least one good thing to say about it. If you want to completely slag a place off, please don't review it - email us instead, and we'll investigate.

Yes, we've tried to cover all the places people might visit. As the Peak District is so large, it has been sub-divided into areas. Towns and villages (eg. Glossop and Buxton) that fall just outside its boundaries have also been included. The areas more or less comply with real administrative boundaries - eg High Peak, and Derbyshire Dales.

We have tried very hard to ensure that all the information is correct and up to date, and that Seafox or one of our Rambling Reviewers has personally visited each place. It has not been possible to go everywhere though - sometimes we have relied on info we've seen on websites or submitted to us by others, backed up with a phone conversation with the proprieters. Please note that we do NOT simply lift info from other websites! One of our reviewers is an occasional staff writer for the publisher 'Vegetarian Guides', so if some of the listings have similar wording to their 'Vegetarian Britain' book, this is why. Small businesses, especially cafes, often vary their opening hours, change ownership, or stop trading altogether. Sometimes they give absolutely no notice to anyone that this is about to happen. If you are travelling any distance, please phone the premises beforehand.

It is possible that a place has closed or changed ownership, changed chef, that you've had an unusually bad experience, or that we visited on an uncharacteristically good day! Please click on the 'Contact' link, and fill in the feedback form. We will get back to you as soon as we can. We welcome your views, and take them seriously.

This means that as far as we are aware, the establishment welcomes children and will do child-sized portions. It does not necessarily mean that they have high chairs and nappy-changing facilities. There could also be a flight of steps, which would make access with a pushchair difficult. We strongly advise parents with very young children to phone ahead.

Many places set up websites and then don't maintain them. If we listed URLs, half of them would be broken links in a year's time, and many other would be hopelessly out of date - giving a misleading impression of prices, menu options and opening hours. If you want to find a website, all you have to do is Google the company name and postcode, then check when the site that comes up was last updated.

NB: Do not trust un-moderated restaurant review sites! They can have places listed that closed down over 3 years ago, or places listed as vegetarian that now serve meat!

Unfortunately, many caterers still don’t know we exist, or think we’re too difficult to provide for. Most bed and breakfasts are happy to serve you fruit salad and fried tomatoes on toast for breakfast, with herbal tea or black coffee. You could ask in advance for soya milk, or take your own. Many pubs and restaurants will offer you a simple vegan meal such as pasta in tomato sauce if you phone ahead. Just keep politely pushing - things are getting better every year, and you can be an important part of the movement for change.
