Yes, all meat is Halal. However, the butcher that we use also distributes non-Halal meats.

Our Take Home Meals are pick up only.
Our individual lunch bowls are a great option. Fuss free and ready to eat, our lunch bowls provide plenty of options to cater for all tastes and dietaries. They are hearty, balanced, and suitable for dinner too.
If you would like to create something more elaborate and abundant, we’d suggest our mezze box, as well as some mains, sides, salads and desserts. Depending on how many boxes you order, this could form more of a light graze (snacking style), or a full catered feast. For four people, we would suggest ordering one mezze, two mains, two sides and a dessert. If you are feeding ten and want a nice varied selection, we would suggest ordering two mezze boxes, five mains, five sides/salads, and a box or two of sweets. Our famous house baked focaccia is always an excellent add on - a crowd pleaser that feeds the masses and keeps the kids happy!
