Menus

Each day, before midday we upload the day's menus, it's always nice to whet your appetite before you even get to us. We also add in more detail about each dish in case you need to check out the ingredients for allergen information.

Daily Menu

Our daily menu is available from 12noon to 9pm Sunday to Thursday and from 12noon to 9:30pm on Fridays and Saturdays.

Where certain allergens are highlighted the allergen may relate to just one component of the dish, which may easily be substituted or removed. For more information please ask one of our crew.

We are happy to provide you with allergen guidelines for all our menu items, but due to the presence of some ingredients used in our kitchens, where we offer a gluten free menu, controls are in place to ensure that dishes contain less than 20ppm gluten. Otherwise, we can never guarantee a dish is completely free from any allergens or specific ingredients.
