Our menu harks back to pre-Covid times, when food was made from scratch, using fresh ingredients, and cooked by qualified chefs. Head Chef Simon Burgess specializes in pizza, pasta, and risotto, but is pretty excited about most culinary areas!
The rest of the culinary team, Shanice, James, Bart, and Lisa work alongside Simon, to prepare pizzas, pastas, risottos, burgers, steaks, salads, and Spanish tapas for your enjoyment.
