Or choose from a whole menu of seasonal hot meals and light snacks that are also suitable for vegans, including vegan sausage rolls and pasties. We can accommodate most dietary requirements including non-gluten bread, scones and brownies.
Allergen information
Most of the food and drink served is prepared on site in our kitchen, using a wide range of ingredients. As a result, we can’t guarantee that any of our food and drink products are completely allergen free.
If you have an allergy or intolerance and would like ingredient information about the food and drink served, please ask the staff, who will be happy to help.
Always check when you visit
