Spring Menu Revamp!!
We’ve had a little revamp of our menu for the arrival of the Spring/Summer season - All the favourites are still there but with added oomph. Our Dirty Chips have been pimped up, and we’ve been listening to your feedback on the Ma’doner’ making sure you can have it just the way you want it!
We take time and pride in our food, making everything in-house - from our burgers and chips down to our burger sauces, buns and flatbread, slaw, onion rings, pickles… you name it, we make it! We buy from local suppliers and make sure all our meat, cheese and eggs are organic.
Come on down and feast!
