Do you come out to small places like Lunsford's Cross?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you offer halal meat?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.

Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.

How many meats should we choose?
You don’t need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
