What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
