Burgers made from a hemp and seitan patty will come with fresh vegetables and home-made sauces, while the aptly named ‘Belly Buster’ features double-cooked chips loaded with hemp and seitan meat, vegan hotdog and all the trimmings.
Not surprisingly, as well as the classic hotdogs and burgers, vegan Jamaican cuisine features on the menu, including traditional Jamaican patties and a Jerk Bean Pattie. The Jamaican patties feature a spicy filling, with tropical herbs and spices, in a golden vegan flaky pastry crust.
