REVIEW: Tin Can Kitchen launches summer 'Al Pastor' menu
The range includes an Al Pastor Burger, Al Pastor Dirty Fries, Al Pastor Burrito, and an Al Pastor Pizza.
All the dishes are inspired by Latin street food and feature smoky, slow-cooked pork in a rich adobo sauce, pineapple, and lime.

The burger, made with a Welsh beef patty, is topped with the Al Pastor pork, pineapple and lime salsa, and Honduran crema.
A pot of homemade queso is served on the side for dipping.
The Al Pastor Burrito is a "proper handheld feast", packed with spicy adobo pork, Mexican rice, pineapple salsa, and other fixings.

The Al Pastor Dirty Fries are piled high with melted cheese, the smoky Al Pastor pork, pineapple salsa, and more of the Honduran crema.

The standout item on the menu, however, is the Al Pastor Pizza.
A "summer flavour bomb", it features the slow-cooked pork, homemade marinara, melted mozzarella, and a zesty pineapple lime salsa on the signature house-made dough.

The pizza is also served with queso and Honduran crema for dipping.
The team at the Argus had the chance to try the new summer menu and were left impressed.
First up on the menu was the Al Pastor burger, a beef patty topped with Al Pastor pork, pineapple, lime salsa and Honduran crema.
While some people may seem sceptical about pineapple on a burger, for us it just brought the delicious juiciness of the pork and pineapple to the fore of the dish, and gave us something uniquely tasty.

The dirty fries with piled high with melted cheese, smoky Al Pastor pork, pineapple salsa, and that dreamy Honduran crema are always a popular highlight with us here at the Argus, and these were a right delight.
There was a perfect mix of slightly sweet pork and the pineapple salsa, juxtaposed brilliantly with the Honduran crema.

However, by far our favourite element of the new menu is the Al Pastor pizza, topped with slow cooked pork in a rich adobo sauce with a zesty pineapple lime salsa and small chunks of pineapple.
While there is an ongoing debate about whether pineapple belongs on pizza, in this case, it absolutely does, providing that extra sweetness to one of the most delicious pizzas we have ever tasted."
The menu is available for a limited time only.

Royal Navy's only hospital ship banned from sailing as it's so decrepit it could sink
Navy chiefs want to send the ship back to Falmouth, Cornwall, for more urgent work SINKING SHIP Royal Navy's only hospital ship banned from sailing as it's so decrepit it could sink THE Navy's only hospital ship is so decrepit it has been banned from sailing amid fears it could sink. RFA Argus — which first saw action during the Falklands War in 1982 — underwent major repairs in April. Advertisement Navy chiefs want to send the ship back to Falmouth, Cornwall, for more urgent work. But the Maritime and Coastguard Agency and Lloyds insurers ruled the crew and other vessels would be at risk if Argus left her Solent mooring near Portsmouth. A naval source said: 'This is what hollowed-out means. "Argus has so many problems. Advertisement "There's no way they'll let her sail back for proper repairs.' It is a humiliating blow to proud Royal Navy as its fleet sinks to an all time low. Labour have axed seven warships – including two frigates – in their first year in office. It leaves the Royal Navy fleet with just 15 prinipal warships, including five frigates, six defenders and two aircraft carriers. Advertisement Around half those are in dock for repairs. A Royal Navy spokesman said talks were taking place with Lloyds and the Coastguard 'to address' issues with the 28,000-tonne vessel. They added: 'There are no current plans for the ship to depart until all identified defects have been rectified.'

Concerns that ALN sessions at Splash Pad could be cancelled
The splashpad runs specific sessions for children with disabilities and ALN to use the space, giving them a stress-free experience with less children using the park. Parents of those with ALN have voiced their concerns and highlighted the discriminatory comments that have been overheard and directed at these sessions. These same parents are now becoming increasingly apprehensive to visit the park, as inappropriate behaviour from other parents who are unable to use the site for ALN sessions has increased. One parent, who wishes to remain anonymous, said: 'I'm a bit scared to go back down there. 'I don't want to go there just to sit and listen to people slag off my kid because he's disabled - a lot of us don't have the energy to go there and get shouted at anymore. 'I'm just worried that people like me aren't going because they're scared and we're scared that less people going to ALN sessions means that they'll stop or cut the sessions.' Parents are still feeling the effects of offensive comments directed at their children (Image: NQ) A Newport City Council meeting this week passed a Notice of Motion to promote neurodiversity inclusivity in the city. This motion will make the city more accessible for those with additional learning needs and create a neurodiverse-friendly city. This 'requires a comprehensive approach that involves both raising public awareness and understanding and designing spaces that accommodate the specific challenges faced by neurodiverse individuals and their families'. As the hot weather persists and sessions at the splashpad become increasingly popular with new opening hour increases, parents are urged to response 'with kindness and compassion' to those with ALN. Councillor Laura Lacey, cabinet member for social services in Newport, said: 'It's just about getting people to understand. The city needs to be tolerant and compassionate. 'It would be nice if parents of non ALN children stuck up for those with ALN children, so they don't have to fight for their own kids. 'The people who are saying and doing these things are the ones who should be pointed and looked at, not the children trying to enjoy these sessions.' Newport's splash pad will be open until 6PM every day from Monday 21 July to the end of the summer holidays. From Monday, the booking system will be extended to cover the weekday morning 10-11AM relaxed sessions for those with ALN.
