    Shane Osborn expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming launch of Victuals at BaseHall 02: “I am so excited for this next chapter for Michael Smith and the core members of the Moxie team, who will open our latest venture, Victuals by The Arcane Collective on 15th July at BaseHall 02,” says Shane. “Continuing Moxie’s original commitment to conscious dining, the menu at Victuals will focus on delicious, healthy, plant-forward dishes such as the buckwheat larb with mango, peanuts and vermicelli that can be enjoyed with or without high quality fish and meat proteins.”
