Shopping tip: Use the category archive for the current product selection, then open the individual product page to check ingredients, allergens, pack size, cooking instructions and storage requirements.
Vegetarian and vegan frozen foods are not the same
A vegetarian product may contain dairy, egg or other ingredients that are not suitable for vegans. For example, products based on mozzarella or halloumi can be vegetarian without being vegan.
If you specifically need plant-based or vegan products, use Nicol Retailer’s separate Frozen Plant-Based Food range and always check the product information before ordering.
Dietary suitability should be confirmed from the individual product label and current product information, particularly where allergens or strict dietary requirements matter.

Frozen vegetarian food for easy meals
Frozen vegetarian products do not need to form the whole meal. They can be combined with pantry staples, fresh vegetables, sauces, grains and breads to create more complete dishes.
Vegetable gyoza
Vegetable gyoza can work as a starter, snack or part of an Asian-inspired meal. Pair them with noodles, rice, stir-fried vegetables or dipping sauces.
Halloumi
Halloumi-style products can be used in burgers, wraps, salads, sharing dishes and casual meals. Check the individual cooking instructions for the product you purchase.
Cheese-based appetisers
Mozzarella sticks and cheesy doughballs can provide straightforward options for sharing plates, party food and casual entertaining.
Vegetarian sides, snacks & sharing food
Frozen vegetarian snacks can be especially useful when preparing buffets, informal gatherings or mixed sharing menus where several small dishes are served together.
Consider combining vegetarian freezer products with dips, salads, breads and fresh vegetables to create a more varied spread.
Where you are serving guests with dietary requirements, keep vegan, vegetarian and allergen requirements separate rather than assuming one product suits everyone.
