Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you have alternatives?
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. Halal isn’t available.

What else we do in Gun Hill
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.

How it works

- We check access to base and quote.
