EDIT ** Week 1 Sold Out

One for the locals |

As you may know, we’re open for dinner 7 nights a week year round. We’ll be throwing in the odd idea to keep things interesting for our team, and our guests, over the colder months.

Introducing Pie + Pinot Tuesdays

Every Tuesday this winter we'll be serving a rotating lineup of our favourite pies, from slow-braised meats to seasonal vegetables and the occasional wild card.

Expect different flavours each week, all designed for comfort and built with the same care as our dinner menu.
Alongside the pies, we'll have seven Pinot Noirs open by the glass + an optional 3 wine flight.

Each week we'll also offer a selection of large-format sides for the table, because some things are better shared.

Not feeling pie? Our full à la carte menu will be available throughout the evening.

Gather your people, settle in, and join us early week for dinner.

Every Tuesday throughout winter.�Bookings capped at 20 guests each Tuesday.

Available for groups large and small.
Sit back, pour a glass, and leave the rest to us.
