 * How are the dishes being added in at this point? The problem is there’s a whoile
   heap of different ways of doing this, and each way will need something slightly
   different.
 * As an example, if you’re using a custom post type you can add to it, or extend
   it to include another meta box in the back end with the options, and then modify
   the template file to display these options on the front end. That’s only one 
   way that it could be done.
 * There might be a way to do it already pre-built, but without knowing what your
   site is running we can’t suggest anything. If there’s nothing pre-built you’ll
   have to get your hands dirty in the code and start some programming for yourself.

 * Sorry catacaustic I forgot to write down my website, which is:
    [http://homecookingse24.co.uk/our-menu/](http://homecookingse24.co.uk/our-menu/)
   The page on giraffe website is what I want to do on my website page menu. Thanks

 * As you’re using a [commercial theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_Products),
   we really can’t help as there’s no way for us to know how it works and how it’s
   setting up the dishes on your menu pages.
 * As I said, there’s a lot of different ways of doing this, and without knowing
   what your theme is uisng, it’s pretty hard to suggest anything that can work 
   as it could work, it could not work, but it also might break your site horribly,
   and we don’t want that.

 * The theme I am using is Skirmish, I don’t know if it can help you.
    Anyway, just
   a question: there is no plug in to do that? Thanks again

 * there are lots of recipe, font-awesome capable widgets, but your theme hasn’t
   been updated in two years and as catacaustic stated, how you’ve built out each
   page/post/item matters greatly to pointing you at a widget

 * that being said, is your “our-menu” a page or custom post type? are all items
   listed in this one page, or does it somehow pull in items from somewhere else?

 * unfortunately that’ll be harder to drop a plugin onto
 * i would consider long term moving to a solution such as WP Restaurant Manager
   which appears to accomplish this type of task as well as provides other features.
 * [https://themesdepot.org/plugins/wp-restaurant-manager](https://themesdepot.org/plugins/wp-restaurant-manager)
 * The downside of this is that you’ll definitely have to rebuild your whole menu,
   i just can’t think of another way since allt he data is grouped as one item currently.
 * p.s. i’ve never used that plugin and cannot vouch for it in any way, especially
   with your older theme, so….
 * Take a Full Backup!!! before moving forward

 * But where does that page get teh information for each dish from?
 * Is this a list that you can edit on that page, or do you have a separate admin
   area for entering dishes, or is it being dragged in from somewhere else, or… ?
 * See, we need to know all of this before we can do anything to help. Each way 
   has a very different way of doing things, and even then there’s most likely more
   than one way to do this for each way that I’ve mentioned above, so it’s not as
   easy as saying “is there a plugin” because there’s no way to know what that plugin
   actually has to do.

 * catacaustic, yes is that a list that I can edit on that page. When I built that
   page I just created a new page called menu and written all you can read

 * Don’t worry [@bernbe01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bernbe01/), I think
   we’re talking the same thing too.
 * [@toto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toto/) – If that’s how you do it,
   then a plugin won’t help at all. You’d have to create the icons that you want
   and add them manually to each dish. Using the system that you are now, there’s
   no easy way around that.
