What you can order

Made for a real working day.

Choose from the current menu when you order. Availability and prices can change, so the live menu is always the source of truth.

One halal food menu

Breakfasts, meat dishes, sandwiches and hot lunches are part of the same halal food offer—not a small add-on menu.

British and Desi choices

Move from cooked breakfast plates and omelettes to parathas, chana, kebabs and curries depending on the meal you want.

Vegetarian choices too

Vegetarian menu items and modifier choices are labelled separately. Halal and vegetarian describe different dietary needs, so check both labels.

Ask before you order

For supplier, ingredient, allergen or cross-contact questions, speak to the café team so we can check the current product information.

What halal means on our menu

Café 1 states that all food it serves is halal. That includes the food offered across breakfast and lunch categories, not only selected meat dishes. We avoid describing an item as independently certified unless the supporting supplier information is available for that product.

Halal status does not by itself answer every dietary question. Allergens, vegetarian requirements and personal preferences still need to be checked separately. The online menu provides useful labels, and the team can help with the latest ingredient information before you commit to an order.

  • Halal cooked breakfasts and breakfast rolls
  • Halal chicken, lamb and kebab menu choices
  • Desi breakfast, parathas, chana and curries
  • Vegetarian and lighter café options alongside meat dishes

A halal café near St Albans city and civic centre

Our address is St Albans Crown Court, Bricket Road, St Albans, Hertfordshire AL1 3JU. The café is open to the public, so local workers and residents can visit as well as people attending court.

We open Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm and close at weekends and on public holidays. As the café is inside a courthouse, follow the building’s current visitor and security arrangements when you arrive.

Order halal food in the way that suits your day

Order at the till if you are already in the building, or use the website for collection, takeaway, dine-in ordering and eligible local delivery. Delivery operates from 8:30am to 4:30pm within a half-mile radius on open weekdays.

The live menu is the best place to confirm what is being sold today. It also prevents an old social post, blog article or third-party menu from becoming an inaccurate promise about stock or price.
