What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
