With the limited space we have to operate in, I do try use ingredients that crossover with other menu items.

Sometimes, I simply get the urge to sell something I love, in the hope people will come along and also enjoy it.

I think this current dish is a bit of both. It uses ingredients we mostly already stock and also meets my current fixation on wild mixed mushrooms.

Whilst the feedback I’ve received so far has been hugely positive, thanks to .online , I can show social media our latest potential offering:

KIMCHI FRIED RICE
CHIPOTLE MARINATED AUBERGINE
WILD MIXED MUSHROOMS
FRIED EGG
SESAME SEEDS
CHILLI CRISP
PARSLEY

Let us know what you think - should we make it an upcoming special?

Now then,

Our Saturday night quiz trials have been a good laugh. Lessons learnt and rounds developed.

We’re hosting our (potentially) final free trial Saturday 12 September, whilst we fine tune the method and scoring. We’ll be trialing other nights after this.

Come down, win free refreshments and partake in our food and drink deals.

Our evening hours are from 5:30pm with kitchen closing at 8pm.

Cheers,
Scott
