Book NowAbout A Boy Named Sue
Perched right across from the St Andrews community market, this bushland outpost pairs crisp wood-fired pizza with open-air fire pits. It is an easy country pitstop for blistered pies like the Queen Margherita, pulled hot from the oven with bubbly char and clean tomato acidity. Regulars grab a bench outdoors under the gum trees or settle into the airy mud-brick side room for long group lunches. The kitchen handles gluten-free bases with serious care alongside house pastas and morning burgers. After the market bustle fades, pull up a seat near the glowing embers with a cold drink and let the afternoon drift.
- Bushland fire pits: Outdoor tables sit right beside working fire pits beneath the trees for open-air lunches.
- Market-side retreat: Directly across the road from the St Andrews market, making it an easy weekend refuel.
- Mud-brick function room: A dedicated sunlit mud-brick building handles private gatherings and milestone birthdays without rush.
