You can come here from 10am until late to eat, drink and dance.

That is, homemade and freshly cooked from scratch to order. We know where our ingredients come from and we work

seasonally and locally as often as we can.

We have made a choice to bring you the best quality we can over speed and fast food prices; at busy times there may be

a short wait while we cook it for you.
