🎉 WEEKEND SPECIALS RECAP – and a KATSU CURRY GLOW-UP! 🎉

Well, there was no holding back this weekend! Our specials of creamy garlic mushroom & bacon tagliatelle (with garlic bread, obviously – carbs on carbs 💪) and the fish pie (pictured below) were a roaring success. Huge thanks to everyone who came by and cleaned their plates like absolute legends. 👏

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Our famous katsu curry has had a makeover – and it’s looking GOOD. We’re now serving it with crispy panko-crumbed chicken and a brand-new katsu sauce that’s got a bit more oomph and a lot more “ooooh.” One bite and you’ll be questioning all your past life choices- see pictures below 😝

🥗🔥Also meet our Crispy Chicken & Bacon Caesar Salad (pictured below) – where tender, crunchy chicken meets smoky bacon, crisp romaine, aged parmesan, and our rich Caesar dressing.
Topped with crunchy croutons and a whole lot of flavour. Fresh. Bold. Irresistible

If you haven't tried it yet… what are you doing? Cancel your plans, grab your mates, and come see what the fuss is about.

🍴 Country comfort food, served with a smile and possibly a cheeky pint on the side 😉
