Evening menu

    We work hard to provide fast, fresh and nutritious food served by helpful and friendly staff, but another part of what makes us special is our range of dishes, which tries to be as sensitive as possible to people’s food preferences, allergies and ethical choices.

    We hope our traditional, vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free menus make people feel happier and more comfortable when eating away from home. We want everyone to have choice and to be able to focus on what they can eat rather than what they can’t. After all, time spent together with friends and family is all the more special if it’s inclusive and sensitive to everyone’s dietary requirements. Enjoy!
