Email reply from the manager at the Rose and Crown:

"We do not have specific items on the menu but can ALWAYS cater for at least one choice for Vegans – our current options are:-

Mixed vegetable sausages with mash potato and caramelized onion gravy

Sauteed garlic mushroom and roasted tomatoes with tagliatelle pasta

This is what we offer functions particularly as they have a higher % of dietary requirements."

University of Essex

Some info on vegan options at the University of Essex, from a lecturer who works there:

Fusion restaurant is quite good, they change the menu a bit but they do various stir fries with tofu and vegetables. They can customise as you like. 

Zest has a hummus flat bread, and a tofu and vegan pesto panini.

Happy days has a veggie burger

Take three has a hummus and salad baguette (sometimes) and a peanut butter sandwich (good breakfast). 

There is a salad bar in Blues open til 2pm and they do jacket potatoes and beans. It is ok on campus for vegan food and it is getting better, but you usually have to be quick because sometimes these things run out by late lunch time. If you want anything about 4pm onwards they may have sold out.

Please note that unfortunately we cannot verify the accuracy of any findings provided by the eateries surveyed.

The Chickepea is a curry stall on Colchester market that always offer a vegetarian option, which is usually suitable for vegans.  

-I have been told that the only time it may not be suitable is if the stock used contains lactose. (so it is worth asking just to be sure!)

Vegan options include chickpea dhal, bombay potatoes and rice.

A small take away tub is £3.50, and a large tub is £4.50.

The Chickpea is also available for parties and private catering services as well as an independent stall for festivals and public events.
