When you enquire, please mention:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china

- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
