The food menu from Mi & Pho includes Spring Rolls, Hot & Sour Soup, Steam Bao Bun, Pad Thai Tofu, Vietnamese Curry Tofu, and a surprise dessert to be announced on the day. Drink pairings from Pomona Island includes Factotum, a pale ale; Discotheque a Go-Go, a double dry-hopped pale ale with Zappa, Mosaic, Simcoe, Vic Secret; Pomona lager; Stacks of Green Paper, a strawberry and raspberry sour with grains of paradise; and Boogie chillen’, a double dry-hopped IPA with Citra, Idaho 7, Sorachi Ace and Galaxy.

This ultimate vegan tasting menu is available for one night only at Escape to Freight Island on Tuesday 2 November, running from 630pm to 10pm.
