Countdown to the VfL Awards 2026 has now begun!
Our judges have voted and we can now reveal the finalists in the 2026 Awards for Excellence in Vegetarian & Vegan Care Catering.
Here at VfL, we think that care caterers who make a special effort to create delicious and nutritious vegan and vegetarian meals deserve special recognition.
