Dining out? Visit a ‘Just Ask’ restaurant
Many of us like to buy ethical food for the home, but when eating out, we can feel
awkward asking if the eggs are free-range, for example, if the meat is welfare-friendly or
if the veg is local or organic. Well, Just Ask is a solution. Restaurants displaying the
Just Ask seen here welcome enquiries from diners wishing to know about the source
of the food on their menus, so you needn’t feel embarrassed asking the question. Look
for the logo in the window, on the restaurant website and either on the menu or on
table cards on the table. Here are the members so far...
