  • BYO Friendly: Guests are welcome to bring their own wine to pair with dinner.
  • Free Prawn Crackers: Baskets of complimentary prawn crackers arrive at the table upon seating.

  • Kid-Friendly Dining with Free Table Crackers

    The relaxed dining room and welcoming setup cater effortlessly to families with children, accompanied by complimentary prawn crackers.

    Free prawn crackers at the tables. Food is great, place is clean but not trendy or upmarket if that bothers you. Kid friendly, and a good kind of noisy bustle.

    It’s always very hard to find an eating place where the whole family have something they like and this is one of the rare one that’s on our list.
