IN REPLY to Peter Arnold’s letter (Courant, October 28) I really don’t know what Mr Arnold’s problem is.

At your service: Hexham Golf Club caterers Simon Nichols and Gavin Dicks, who treat vegetarians the same as other diners for Sunday lunches.

So he didn’t think Hexham Golf Club was conducive to vegetarian taste – did he really look around?

My husband and I are not vegetarians but a high percentage of our family are and we have never found it a problem to eat out in Hexham.

He talks about discrimination against vegetarians; what nonsense!

There is at least one specialist vegetarian restaurant in Hexham and most other venues have excellent vegetarian options.

We had a family get-together on Tuesday with both adults and children who are vegetarians and it was no problem at all.

This ‘blatant discrimination’ he talks about is, quite frankly, non-existent.

I suggest he does his homework before his next visit, and if he is adamant about telling his vegetarian friends not to visit Hexham I can refer them to a great number of vegetarian friends who can refute this.
