Book NowAbout Donny's
Donny’s reinvents the Westgarth local with snappy wine-bar plates, genuine hospitality, and an unhurried pub feel. Tuck into an upstairs lounge beside the fireplace or secure a table out back in the dog-friendly courtyard. The kitchen keeps things concise—think gildas, fresh crudo, and warm flatbread alongside blush-pink steak and hot chips. Pull up a stool at the bar for a crisp martini, then tear into cashew cream spiked with house chilli oil.
- Dog-Friendly Courtyard: A sunny outdoor courtyard specifically welcomes pets alongside drinks and casual dining.
- Fireplace & Cosy Spaces: Upstairs room featuring an open fire complements the lively main bar and dining areas.
- Elevated Small Plates & Mains: A focused offering combining wine-bar snacks like gildas, crudo, and flatbread with elevated pub mains.
