We sink our teeth into this nutritious menu for a first taste and pick out the best.

The bread’s complex carbohydrate has been substituted with a healthier slice of fresh pear, ferrying a scoopful of assorted nuts, oats and berries for a fibre-rich appetiser. The crunchiness of both the pear and assorted nuts complement each other perfectly.
