Hags Restaurant

Not too deep in the forest, many giant trees can be found, but only a few of them look like this one.
A dirt path leads to stairs carved in one of the roots and, after it, a magical portal embedded in a tree knot. A picnic area next to the tree confirms your location. You are in one of the many entrances of the Hag's Pot!

The Hag's Pot
The interior of the restaurant is a cozy place full of creatures from every plane that you have never seen before.
Magic lights float all around the space, illuminating every table and giving a warm feel to the restaurant.
The smell of the stew reminds you of home. At the hearth of the tree, you can see the only pot of the kitchen. A huge pot in which the hags prepare the only meal available at the place: the Perpetual Stew. A pot in which ingredients are placed and cooked continuously, forever.
Ingredients and liquid are replenished as necessary.
Since the creation of the restaurant, the pot has never been emptied. It's just cuisine, no magic involved.

The Portal
There is only one Hag's Pot, but many entrances can be found throughout different planes. All of them are different, but they all lead to the same interplanar tree.
It is common to see creatures come and go every few seconds, entering through the portal and grabbing a hot stew ration, but every customer will go back to the plane they came from when exiting the restaurant.
In the material plane, many of the trees that serve as an entrance to the Hag's Pot have a picnic area outside that customers can use to enjoy their takeaway meals.

Competitors
The Hag's Pot publishes itself as a cozy restaurant with homemade meals that brings warmth to the heart. They are becoming quite popular all around the world and opening new tree Portals all over. As such, it's becoming the direct competitor of the Gobble Gob, a fast food restaurant chain with a drive-through managed by goblins. But the Portal Trees are somewhat hidden in the forests and hard to find, so your best chance of finding one of them is by direct recommendation from another customer.

Many quests and plot hooks can be inspired by the combination of the Gobble Gobb like a boycott or espionage. Or maybe just an easily accessible interplanar meeting point or a quick stop to take a breath between adventures.
Reference note: The perpetual stew is a real world concept that still exists today in some places and that is speculated to have been common in medieval times.
Have fun!
