Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces

- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
