Let's help fundraise for a great cause!

It's Locals' Night again, and the Mac & Cheese returns for another round.
If you love cheese, and can't get enough mac, this is the dish for you.
Packed with enough mac to max your mac-ometer, and topped with crispy, savoury bacon and melty cheesy happiness, it really is a good time.

Now we know you are not supposed to have favourites.... and claiming that you are practically besties because you know someone who once saw someone who flatted with a sister's friend of someone famous.... BUT...
One of our superstar team members is the sister of Cameron Gray - FOR TRUE LIFE!
And because our staff are like family - their family is our family!
So a massive shout-out to .gray_ competing at the 2026 Commonwealth Games. In case you didn't know...we are huge fans 🙂.

Missing a feline friend near The Riverhead? 🐾

We’ve had a cute little visitor hanging around our spot quite a bit lately. We know cats are natural explorers and love making the rounds, so we’re not looking to trap them or cause any fuss.

However, if your fury feline has been spending a bit more time away from home than usual, or if you’re starting to wonder where they’ve wandered off to, they might just be visiting us!

If this sounds like your cat, send us a private message so we can make sure they find their way home to you.

Ooooh, both teams enter this game unbeaten in the current campaign. That is about to change for one of them!
Who's it gonna be?

Hello locals!
Here is your weekly special for simply being you.
It's a Cottage Pie made from the finest cottage around. No, wait.... that doesn't seem right.....

Ok, so after a quick fact-check, it turns out our Cottage Pie is made with beef...... there is no actual cottage in the Cottage Pie! Who knew? 🤷‍♀️

(Next they'll tell me there are no shepherds in Shepherd's pie 🙄)
