The problem
A “halal” sign is a claim, not an answer.
Finding somewhere to eat is the easy part. Knowing what its label actually means is harder: who says so, what that rests on, and when anyone last checked.
Yep+
The food info is free. Always.
Nobody should have to pay to find out whether their dinner is halal.

What we’re building
So we're building a catalogue that shows its working.
Every place on YepItsHalal shows its label, where that came from and when it was checked, and says so plainly when we don't know. Searching it is free for everyone, anywhere in London, with no account.
Behind the scenes
Checking a place properly is slow, careful work.
- Reading what a place says about its meat, and where it says it
- Ringing to ask what the website doesn’t say
- Recording every answer with its source and the date
- Going back when menus and suppliers change
- And keeping the site, the maps and the search running
No place has had all of this yet: every label so far comes from what places publish, and from open data. Support is what pays for the rest.
What support does
Support is what turns a list into a checked catalogue.
- Your support pays for the checking
- More places checked, and kept up to date
- A bigger catalogue you can rely on
- Better answers when you’re deciding where to eat
Supporters also vote each month on the area we check next.
Why it matters
Because “where can we eat?” deserves a straight answer.
With family, friends or colleagues, nobody should have to guess, or take a sticker in a window on trust. A catalogue that says what it knows, and what it doesn't, helps the whole table decide.
Keep it going
Keep it free. Help it grow.
You can use the catalogue without paying, and you always will. Supporting it helps us keep building and maintaining it.

Card payments open soon. We're finishing the payment setup, so nothing can be charged yet. Everything on the site is already free to use.
What supporters get
- We donate a meal through ShareTheMeal for every month of support
- A vote each month on the area we check next
- A supporter badge on your account
- First look at new things, and first asked when we are unsure
- No sponsored messages, if we ever carry any
Stop, and nothing disappears: you keep the whole site, like everyone else.
About the meal
We donate a meal through ShareTheMeal, the UN World Food Programme's hunger app, for every month of support we receive. That is us giving to them. They have not partnered with us and have not endorsed us.
Nothing here buys a label. A restaurant cannot pay to be called halal, and neither can you.
Not ready to pay? Helping is still free.
Add a place we're missing or tell us when we have something wrong, using the feedback box at the bottom of any page. That is worth as much as the money.
