Kim Stringer, V for Life’s Director (Scotland), commented:
"We know that loneliness can often affect older adults, however events like this lunch club help foster meaningful connections over a shared passion for good, healthy food. Our aim is to create a space where individuals can enjoy a sense of belonging, alongside wholesome meals designed with their nutritional needs in mind. It’s not just about the food – it’s about building a supportive community of like-minded people."
Barrie Henderson Hendersons Director says;
“We value the work that VfL does and look forward to welcome new faces at our new joint lunch club. Sharing lunch and making new friends is vital and especially in cities like Edinburgh – older people can feel isolated and lonely.”
Don't miss out on this wonderful opportunity to connect with the vegan and vegetarian community. We look forward to welcoming you to this special event!
The award-winning chefs at V for Life bring tailored cookery workshops directly to communities all over the UK. Whether hands-on or demo-based, their sessions are designed to suit the unique needs of each group, offering simple, nutritious recipes that anyone can master.
Claire Bannerman, V for Life’s Roving Chef (Scotland) says:
“For those unable to attend in person, we also provide virtual sessions – a lifeline for carers or those with mobility challenges. These include live demos or interactive cook-alongs, allowing participants to cook together, even from a distance.”
About Hendersons
Hendersons first opened in Edinburgh 1962, blazing a trail for the vegetarian and healthy-eating lifestyle. Initially an outlet for the organic produce grown at Janet and Mac Henderson’s East Lothian farm, it expanded to a bistro bar and the popular Salad Table restaurant. This pioneering approach to dining earned Hendersons iconic status on Scotland’s food and drink scene.
Almost six decades later, in the summer of 2020, Hendersons ceased trading as a result of lockdown, much to the dismay of their long-standing customer base.
In order to preserve Janet’s legacy, her grandson Barrie Henderson opened a new restaurant in October 2021 serving wholesome vegan and vegetarian food made with fresh, organic, local and sustainable produce.
Hendersons Eat Better Live Better stands by the values that the original Hendersons also stood for, such as using locally sourced whole food and organic ingredients as much as possible.
The menu is accessible enough for everyone but also contains plenty of options for people with specific dietary requirements and we hope you will visit us soon!
