Both menus have been created using fresh and seasonal ingredients that are responsibly sourced, and ensures the food being served is healthy, full of variety and includes interesting things to try.  All non-pork meat products are certified Halal. There are also themed menus including Harvest Week, Chinese New Year, Love British Food Fortnight, World Cultural Diversity Day, and many more.
