A pub has been named one of the best eateries for veggies.

The George in Trafalgar Street, Brighton, has been shortlisted for an award by the Vegetarian Society.

Its owners will find out if they have won the national title of "best provision for vegetarians in a pub or pub chain" at a ceremony in London on October 27.

Last year, the society declared Brighton the "best UK destination for vegetarians".

The George won the society's award for best pub in 2002.

It will be visited by mystery diners as part of the judging process.
