Independent takeaway categories

These are the backbone of halal eating out in the UK and can be found in virtually every town:

  • Kebab shops — doner, shish, and mixed grills
  • Fried chicken shops — often fully halal
  • Curry houses & Bangladeshi/Pakistani restaurants — almost universally halal
  • Turkish restaurants — typically fully halal
  • South Asian sweet shops & snack bars
  • Lebanese & Middle Eastern restaurants

Planes

Halal is standard on all Muslim country planes, including those departing from the UK.

It is served quite widely in Asia, including in non‑Muslim countries such as Cambodia and Vietnam.

  • It was served to all passengers without them knowing.

Support the judicial review

Bringing a judicial review on religious slaughter is expensive. Your donation funds the legal work needed to challenge the abuse of the Slaughter of Animals Act 1933 exemption.
