What comes off the roaster

Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:

- Count residents who need an alternative
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
