After the kitchen has closed, come for a late-night drink and snack. If you’re with a big party, it’s best to book in advance (you might be spread across some close-together tables).

Food, drinks and menus

All our lamb, chicken and turkey are sourced from Halal-certified suppliers (we keep copies of the certificates). Our menu does have items like alcohol, sausages and bacon, but all non-halal items are prepared separately. They're cooked on dedicated griddles or pans, with utensils thoroughly washed afterwards. These items are also stored separately in our refrigeration area. Finally, our animals are stunned before slaughter to adhere to ethical practices.
