What food fad do you see being popularised next?
Food fads are reaching new heights overall, leading to extreme negativity and anxiety towards eating. The accumulation of all these fads will see the return of people wanting just good, decent grub, sourced locally.

What’s the design/atmosphere of your restaurant?
The building speaks for itself. Oh my goodness, if only it could! We would hear some juicy gossip from its humble beginnings back in 1896! We've tried not to mess too much with the interior of this beautiful double-storey federation style pub. We have simply highlighted all the original features and added a bit of a retro twist to funk it up. In fine weather, our beer garden is unrivalled as you sit and share the wooded valley with nature.

Who is serving/cooking and what makes them special?
We have an awesome, hardworking kitchen team, led by Head Chef Sheridan Noakes, who tirelessly prepare everything from scratch and deliver beautifully presented meals each time. he other amazing team members working behind the bar and in the restaurant hold impeccable service skills, and deem customer satisfaction as their main priority. We are very fortunate to have such a wonderful crew and are grateful for their dedication to their work.

Where do you eat out?
Any place where service is paramount and food is honest.

What should I order when I come down?
An ice cold beer to start. Then perhaps the Beef & Guinness Pie or a steak. Top quality nosh...no nonsense.
