Please note, the list of food items varies from year to year. This page contains items that have been present in past years, but may change for the 2014 season.

Our royal food court features many types of food and drink. Several taverns will also serve beers, wines and other drinks. Here is a listing of our current food vendors as well as some of the food items they offer.

Some merchants offer gluten-free items, and vegetarian options. We are working on a menu of these items for future events. Until then, it never hurts to ask. Some are able to create special items by request.
