Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch.
