About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Make the stall easy to find
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We serve as the queue moves.
