A theatre has agreed to remove bacon and sausages from its café menu during a production featuring Peppa Pig.

Grimsby Auditorium said it made the decision "as a considerate gesture" following a request from an animal rights charity.

The theatre said it was committed to continually reviewing and enhancing its menu offerings, and would be removing all pork products during performances of Peppa Pig's Big Family Show on 3 and 4 March.

Why not stop serving it indefinitely? I don’t understand why we keep locking up animals and trashing the environment for nothing but taste.
