Not quite hungry enough for a main course, but not in the mood for a sandwich? We’ve got just the thing…

You can now add fries and a fresh side salad to any of our starters for just £5 - perfect for a lighter lunch or a tasty bite that’s a little more filling.

And if it were us fancying a snack, we’d be adding fries and salad to our Scotch egg all week long. Just look at it! 😍

Choose your favourite starter and make a meal of it.
