The kebab shop on B'burn Rd, their veg is never frozen, wilting from the heat perhaps, but never frozen.

You will have a better chance if you go to a vegetarian restaurant which advertises 'vegetables in season'.
I don't know why you are averse to frozen veg - frozen soon after picking retains more nutrients than veg that has just been 'chilled'.
The restaurants to avoid are the ones who use microwaves - food loses a lot after 'nuking'.

Don't know about Accrington but the Sparrowhawk in Fence only use fresh veg and everything else is made fresh no microwaves. Certainly worth travelling a bit further for.
