Small plates include blaze wings with dynamite sauce, chicken or duck bao buns and tempura cauliflower. Mains range from pan-fried sea bass with mash and greens to grilled tiger prawns, teriyaki glazed prawns, mixed grills, Argentinian fillet steak or signature wagyu. There are also burgers, salads and sides, plus a dedicated children’s menu.
Drinks include signature mocktails, cocktails, champagne, wine, spirits and soft drinks, alongside a shisha menu for guests looking to extend the experience. Desserts such as chocolate fondant, tiramisu indulgence and sticky toffee temptation, provide a fitting finish.
