🌱🥩 3. VEGETARIANS… WE GOT FED UP WAITING FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO DO IT.

So we did. 😎

A proper VEGETARIAN STEAK NIGHT.

Not a token veggie dish.

Not “we can take the chicken off that.”

And definitely not another bloody salad. 😂🥗

Alongside vegetarian starters, sides, sauces, desserts and drinks — all part of the same Safari Steak Night experience.

Meanwhile, the carnivores can tuck into Sirloin, Ribeye, Fillet or our warm Ciabatta Steak Sandwich. 🥩🔥

🚨🔥 **SATURDAY LUNCH AT SAFARI HITS DIFFERENT.** 🔥🚨

Monday to Friday might be about grabbing lunch between everything else you've got to do…

**SATURDAY?**

Saturday is when you actually get to **ENJOY IT.** 😎🍽️

No watching the clock.

No rushing back to work.

No sad desk lunch.

Just get yourselves into Safari, grab a table and order **WHATEVER THE HELL YOU FANCY.** 🤤🔥

🍔 Big juicy burgers
🥩 Proper steak dishes
🍗 Chicken favourites
🍟 Loaded, crispy, filthy-good sides
🌱 Vegetarian & vegan choices
🥗 Lighter options if you're pretending to be sensible 😂
🍰 And sure… it's Saturday. Have the dessert.

Our **£9.95 weekday lunch deal takes Saturday off**…

…but our FULL lunchtime menu most definitely DOESN'T. 🔥🔥

And that means Saturday is the day to forget the deal and explore the menu.

Bring the other half. ❤️

Bring the kids.

Bring your mates.

Bring that one friend who says **“I'm not that hungry”** and then eats half your chips. 👀😂

🥓🍳 THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE IN THE MORNING…

❤️ And all the breakfast favourites that make getting out of bed worthwhile.

THIS is what mornings are supposed to look like.

🚨🔥🍽️ BANBRIDGE — SHARE THE LIFE OUT OF THIS ONE.

Because FRIDAY SUPPER CLUB HAS CHANGED.

And we're genuinely excited about this. 🙌

Some places give you a 1-course offer.

Some give you 2.

Some give you 3.

At Safari we looked at the whole idea and thought:

HOW DO WE MAKE IT ACTUALLY WORK FOR EVERYONE?

So we did what Safari does.

We changed the rules a little. 😏

⏰ More customer-friendly hours
🍽️ More flexibility
💷 Great value
🥂 More time to actually enjoy your Friday night

No unnecessary rushing.

No one-size-fits-all thinking.

Just a Supper Club designed around the people who actually use it…

YOU. ❤️

We're always looking for the next idea.

The next improvement.

The next reason for you to say:

“Here… Safari have done it again.” 😂🔥

We know.

It's 2026.

Apparently a fiver isn't supposed to buy you much anymore. 😂

WE DIDN'T GET THE MEMO.

Our Safari Early Riser Breakfast is just £5. 🤯

Proper breakfast.

Proper plate.

Proper start to the day.

Because good value doesn't have to mean cutting everything back until you need a magnifying glass to find your breakfast. 🔍😂

That's the post.

Actually, no…
