Happy new year to you all!

No doubt many of your resolutions for 2019 will include loosing weight and getting fit but I have heard a lot of people saying this is the year they will start eating a plant based diet.

I'm happy to accommodate all dietary requirements at the restaurant '“just inform us first so you can enjoy your meal.
