    Sacla organic pesto is suitable for vegetarians. I've seen it in Tesco. http://www.sacla.co.uk/products/pesto/organic-basil-pesto

    +1 for the Salca organic pesto. Also I found with a few pesto brands their green pesto may not be vegetarian friendly but their red pesto might be. No idea why though

    It's very easy and fast to make your own, some nuts oil and basil blended up. Girlfriend makes an amazing one: walnuts, oil, basil, lemon, salt.
    You can make a lot and freeze some as needed.

    I think that's because the green pesto generally contains Parmesan (which isn't suitable for vegetarians as rennet is used in its production).

    The Meridian green pesto is suitable for vegetarians and vegans, but you'd probably need to go to a health food store for that.

    And as mentioned above, homemade pesto is easy to prepare and delicious if you are prepared to give it a bash. My favourite includes sundried tomatoes, fresh basil, pine nuts, olive oil and garlic. YUM :D
