Food is at the heart of the experience, with a menu that showcases local produce and bold flavours.

For pasta lovers, the lamb shoulder ragu with pappardelle is slow-braised to perfection, paired with a deep tomato ragu and topped with parmesan. Classic fish and chips, featuring beer-battered cod, hand-cut chips, and mushy peas, delivers a taste of British tradition, while the fennel sausage and Nduja ragu brings a spicy kick to an Italian classic.
