Vegetarian restaurants offer a carnivore option?

(I know the answer but it’s a 2 way street, surely)

Same reason the Indian restaurant doesn't sell pizza and pasta.

No. Any restaurant is mostly required to have vegetarian options. Including pizzerias.
The reverse is not true.
If you wanted to answer the question seriously you’d have to say that they just don’t seek those customers. By doing so they accept they will also lose vegetarian customers whose party include meat eaters as all other restaurants will accommodate both food styles.
But I don’t think Ben was expecting a serious answer.

One thing I can assure you as a non meat eater is that its always a big issue from meat eaters! Personally I just avoid meat and with no option remove it from a dish or go hungry. Not too difficult.

If I am eating out I wouldnt chose Hawksmoor, Beast, or Goodmans and demand no meat. I know what they specialise in and its not what I seek.

Required? I don’t think that’s true unless tap water counts.

“Mostly” was not to state a legal but a commercial requirement (I am not sure many laws accept to be followed “most of the time”)
No veggie dishes will result not only in direct lost of customer but often a SM campaign and bad reviews about non-customers rating down the restaurant because they could eat there -even if they live in a different county.

Logically it could either be ethics or religion?

I went to an all veggie in Edinburgh and it was because of the owners, husband and wife and I’m sure religion had to do with it.

Went to one in Neasden which is affiliated to Neasden Temple and that obviously was religion.

Either way in both cases it was some of the best food I’ve had but there again I am a veggie

Not really many of them. Is the Gate still going in Hammersmith. Had a great meal there a lifetime ago.

Not enough room in the fridge for tasty meat foods due to being full with tofu and other bland foods that require sauces for taste to become palatable.

Any decent restaurant or chef should be able to make good dishes that are good in their own right whether or not they have meat in them . I love a good bit of meat bit I equally love eating dishes that are entirely vegetarian or vegan . I've never understood the need to make such a song and dance about it. Good food is good food. If I went to a place that had meat in everything I'd question whether the chef was any good.

Yeah. Us omnivores are cool. The others are extremist.

We actually use Quorn regularly for curry meals and its fine.But only ever had with something that adds the taste,not sure a chicken Quorn sandwich would be as nice as chicken.

Quorn makes me ill , ( I’m not sure how I know this but the soy smell and flavour remonds me of winalot dog meal) If I need to do a curry for vegetarians I stick with lentils for a nice dal , potatoes and spinach , some Rajma with kidney beans , cauliflower fornice allo gabi adracki , chana masala with chickpeas . makes me hungry thinking about it , curry is one of the best things to make fully veggie. I do love a good butter chicken or rogan josh , fish curry with smoked haddock orveven an abroath smokey or two is lovely though. brocolli roasted in an oven for 6 mins with some garam masala and a little oil is a great fast treat also .

It’s all about cross contamination!

Meat eater but very partial to a good mushroom curry with saag aloo on the side, or mutter paneer!

Same reason the Indian restaurant doesn't sell pizza and pasta.

I used to frequent a restaurant owned by a couple - He was asian, she was a Italian - Great options, especially as my daughter at the time was a bit young for a full on Jalfrezi

I popped in earlier this year and it still offers the same great food and variety.
