For those with allergies

We cook food to suit the vast majority of our visitors and choose ingredients with that in mind. For dishes that contain allergens, we try to offer alternatives. It is important that all guests feel welcome at Astrid Lindgren’s World and therefore the options for those with allergies are constantly being expanded at our various food outlets.

Options for those with allergies

The park has a specific member of staff trained to deal with allergies, who is responsible for the overall work of providing options for allergy sufferers. Our staff are trained in allergies and allergens, and they are happy to tell you how to combine dishes to keep you and your children full and happy. However, you know most about your allergy, so please do not hesitate to share your needs with us so that we can find something to suit you.

Our cafés have a number of options for gluten-free and dairy-free sandwiches and there are various cakes that are gluten-free, dairy-free and/or egg-free. All our ingredients are listed, so if you want to double-check something to be sure, just ask our staff for help.

If you want energy to play, you need to eat

Days filled with play sometimes require a break to replenish energy supplies. In our restaurants we cook all our food from scratch, in our own kitchens and using almost all local ingredients.

Picnic areas

There are plenty of picnic spots in the park. If you bring your own food, you are welcome to set yourself down in a nice spot to eat. We can especially recommend the Birch Trees below the Tiny, Tiny Town and the Picnic Trail. The trail is next to a pond and has several cosy seating areas.

Barbecue areas

In the park you will also find some proper barbecue areas. These are located in the Mattis Forest by the Mill playground, the Birch Trees and by the Brenda Brave setting. Each barbecue has charcoal and lighter fluid, so you can light a fire yourself.

The meal is part of the experience

Food can become part of a larger story. In Astrid Lindgren’s World, we serve Småland classics so that everyone in the family can appreciate them.

The dishes on our menus have been chosen based on the Småland food tradition and Astrid Lindgren’s stories. We prepare most of the food in our own kitchens with the park’s own chefs.

Småland’s food tradition

When we took the plunge and started cooking all our food from scratch, it was the obvious choice for us to use locally produced ingredients. Partly because we want to offer visitors a genuine and healthy dining experience, but also to support local business and contribute to reducing environmentally harmful transport.

About us

There are about 20 restaurants, cafés and kiosks in the park. Almost 160 people work together to prepare and cook the high-quality food we serve and give our guests a great dining experience.

Crops in the park

Next to one of the park’s restaurants is our kitchen garden. There, our gardeners grow a variety of crops, highlighting the link between ‘soil and table’. Here our chefs harvest rhubarb, beans, asparagus, beets and various spices, according to the growing season. Sometimes, if we have a big harvest, we also have crops for sale.

Meatballs with mashed potatoes

Here in the park, more than 16 tonnes of meatballs are consumed in a season. For us, it is important to ensure the quality and origin of the meat, but also the safety of the production process. Our meatballs are produced at Bjursund’s slaughterhouse, an hour’s drive from Vimmerby. The mince is made using beef from local farms. We only season with salt and pepper and use potatoes to bind the batter.

Pannkakor

Almost 1000 litres of pancake batter

Our pancakes are now widely talked about and we have for several years fine-tuned the recipe so that it is really good. No strange additives and of course Swedish eggs in the batter.

We make almost half a million pancakes in one summer in the pancake machine and at the buffet you can choose between our homemade jams and toppings with a cold dollop of cream. This year we also offer our homemade chocolate sauce.
