Restaurant
Menus
There are three versions of the restaurant
NOVA Key - one with the coloured letters, one in plain black with
red crosses and another in plain black with larger thin black crosses.
However, with the black versions, the green bar below the "V"
for vegan stays green, so still easy recognizable for vegans. The
examples below give the three versions with different layout placement.
Remember,
if the "V" letter doesn't have a green band below it then
the dish is not suitable for vegans ... only vegetarians.
Some Fancy
Starters
|
|
Honey Glazed
Melon
Sun ripened melon drizzled with Eucalyptus and Acacia honey.
|
| |
This
example contains honey so it's not suitable for vegans. The
O is crossed because the melon wasn't grown organically
Remember,
if the V letter doesn't have a green band below it then the
dish is not suitable for vegans ... only vegetarians. |

|
Aubergine Autumn
Dream
Smoked aubergine and on a bed of spinach with garlic olive oil
topped with roasted pinenuts and shaved wild forest truffle. |
| |
This
example is suitable for everyone (without food allergies). |
|
|
Asparagus Soup
Asparagus creamed with coconut and a touch of
lemon grass |
| |
This
example contains chicken stock even though all the ingredients
are organic (organically fed chickens). |
Main courses
|
|
Satay Tofu Surprise
Tofu pieces in a satay sauce tossed with vegetables and served
with wild rice.
|
| |
The "N"
is crossed because the soybeans used to make the tofu are
genetically modified. The "O" isn't crossed because
the GM soybeans were grown without pesticides. (now there's
an interesting and frighteningly contentious catch!)
|
|
|
Chicken and Chips
Organic chicken from a local farm with French fries. |
| |
The chicken
is organic and this is mentioned in the description, but the
potatoes aren't organic, therefore the "O" is red-crossed.
|
|
|
Cauliflower Cheese
Cauliflower with four types of vegetarian cheeses
topped with paprika and chopped chives
|
| |
All
the ingredients are organic but because of the cheese not suitable
for vegans. |
And for Desert
|
|
Gooseberry Tart
with Elderflower
Wholemeal tart crammed with fresh gooseberries and topped
with walnuts with a splash of elderflower and lime.
|
| |
Suitable
for everyone (without allergies)
|
|
|
Ice Cream with fudge
and fruity bits
Topped with whipped cream. |
| |
GM soy
ingredients, colouring from crushed insects, contains geletine
and additives recently tested on animals.
|
|
|
Cheese Cake with
Raspberry sauce
Fresh and home-made with locally sourced ingredients.
|
| |
Suitable
for all except vegans (and anyone with allergies.) |
NOTE:
Allergy information should always be included on menus along with
a NOVA Key.

What You Can Do In Your
Own Time To Help
UNITED KINGDOM and
IRELAND site visitors
Due
to the current state of labelling practices in the UK, it's
worth keeping a vigilant eye open for products with "V"
or "O" style labels on them. And if you have doubts
about a product's authenticity as being totally meat free
or organic etc, then contact the stores management or the
producers themselves. Tell us about it as we will keep this
site updated with your reports.
