Yes [all chicken is Halal]. For allergens I recommend you ask a team member at the counter because menu change.

Although El Pollote is a chicken-oriented trader, and the only one that’s confirmed having sourced Halal chicken, there is the following proviso. In relation to the question: “Is alcohol used as an ingredient in any of the dishes?” They answered: “It depends on the dish. For allergens I recommend you ask a team member at the counter because menu changes.” As such, be sure to ask a member of staff regarding the use of alcohol as an ingredient.

Otherwise El Pollote, or ‘big chicken’, with its fried chicken and fresh, tangy salsas on the side, won the #kerbsbucketlist competition two years on the trot as well as the #friedchickenfightclub!

We are totally vegan so don’t offer any meat, but a lot of our dishes are Halal. We use beer in some of our batters, so if you would like to ensure your order is totally Halal, please tell one of our team when you are ordering, and we can make a different batter from scratch for you.

With Club Mexicana’s Mexican-inspired street food being 100% vegan, expect dishes like their BBQ Sticky ‘Ribs’ Plate, their new tacos ‘Chorizo’ and Sweet Potato with Salsa Roja, Tempeh ‘Bacon’ with Pickled Carrot and Deepfried Spring Onion and Al Pastor ‘Pork’ with Charred Pineapple, Chick-n, Waffles, Streaky ‘Bacon’ Rashers, Chilli-infused Maple Syrup.

We only have one product that has some alcohol (rum essence to be precise), that is in our apple muffin. We don’t use animal fat.

With over 150 years of combined baking experience and recipes handed down from generation to generation from the Baltics and Russia, where rye bread is a staple food, Karaway is a family-run, award-winning bakery that specialises in rye bread.

Now only have they won the Great Taste Awards over the last 5 years, (more than any other UK bakery) but this year they smashed it with 13 products being awarded, thus collecting 19 stars in total. Their Honey & Walnut cake won 3 stars – the highest award that is only given to excellent tasting foods!

Our menu is totally fish based at the moment. Our batter has no alcohol in it and we cook everything in vegetable oil

Ink is a street food company that specialises in calamari (watch out for their Sharing Plate) and a selection of mayos in the prettiest of pastel shades: wild garlic, smoked chilli and miso.

They’ve also informed us that “once we’re up and running, then we may look into a veggie offering”. Happy days of fishing!

We have lots of customer from Middle East too, so we avoid using any animal fat and alcohol in our product. We are 100% Halal-friendly!

Wheelcake Island brings its favourite childhood snacks from Taiwan, Wheelcakes, to the streets of London with the help of their mascot – Wheely, the humble fat frog.

If you don’t know what Wheelcakes are, then they’re soft, moist, fluffy Taiwanese pancakes with creamy fillings in a variety of flavours including adzuki bean, chocolate, matcha and vanilla custard.

Although Seven Dials Market will have a number of alcohol companies catering to the masses, the only alcohol-free bar is Hackney-based soft drink company Square Root Soda.

Having won the 2015 BBC Food & Farming “Best Drinks Producer” award, they’ve expanded with an ever-changing range of seasonal flavours and special non-alcoholic craft beer shandies, plus some classics and tonic waters.
