Several councils have admitted to it. Islington gave the LIE that it was to avoid extra costs in deciding who shouldn't be given pork. The reason it is a lie is that the other meats(eg lamb, chicken) would also have to be Halal. It is not stated that they are Halal, therefore the claimed problem still exists. If it is all Halal then that must have been a requirement of the menu, thereby automatically banning pork.

I don't see where the law forbids non-Muslims/Jews from being sold Halal/Kosher meat though. All it seems to cover is that such meat is only allowed to be produced if it's intended for Muslims and Jews which is obviously the case.
It doesn't state anywhere though that it can't be sold to anyone else though. Without a explicit law banning it I assume it's therefore legal.
Any Halal butcher could easily state they aim to serve Muslims but there is no legal requirement for them to refuse service to non-muslims nor check their religion anyway.
