People ARE aware that vegetarian dishes are not just a bowl of salad, I hope?
This is not the early 80ies anymore. Serving a vegetarian meal does not mean handing someone a raw carrot.
Now, I am a hunter and a very enthusiastic meat eater (especially moose and deer), but my +1 is a vegetarian (She is not vegan. She does not try to force me to give up meat, I don't try to force her to eat it) so I eat vegetarian on occasion. I am not fanatic enough that I absolutely MUST have meat in EVERY meal.
While I will never claim that a quorn and similar meat substitute dishes taste as good as the same dish done with quality meat (it is usually pretty flavourless and needs a lot of seasoning), it is usually way better than processed meat crap and stuff I have been served in many fast food joints.
