Any idea if the Camera Restaurant does reasonable vegetarian food?
Squid ink spaghetti doesn't sound very vegetarian to me. (All I could
see on the menu with a V next to it.)

I've never been, but it certainly doesn't sound promising.

If you happy to consider alternatives, you may be interested in the
Vegan Guide to Oxford[0]. We've had particularly good vegetarian food at
the Gardener's Arms (entirely veg[etari]an, on Plantation Road), and
various Indian, Lebanese, and Italian/pizza places. The Big Bang do some
good vegetarian sausages, too.

Hope this helps,

Alex

Jodi, Alex

Nick arranged a set menu that includes reasonable vegetarian options.

I've added it to the wiki

Whoops, it seems that is the normal set menu and I don't have a copy
of the veggie one.

Nick?

I believe it does - I've certainly enjoyed their vegetarian dishes
when I've eaten there in the past!

The set menu that Steve posted will apply to all the meat eaters. For
our couple of veggies, the restaurant manager has had a chat with the
chef, and decided that the best thing will be for the vegetarians to
order from the normal menu. I'm told that there are more dishes on
offer than shown on the website, I've asked for a list and will report
back when I get it.

I've just had it confirmed that there will be plenty of choice for the
vegetarians,
and they'll be trying hard to keep everyone happy! They've said

"No worries I will make sure the vegetarians have a few different
choices as
we can exchange meat for tofu etc and we will be flexible in order to
accommodate you all."
