We love new content for the ‘gram as much as the next person but for now, to help us maintain proper social distancing measures, please don’t stop by just to take photos. We know that our venue is beautiful, but the safety of our guests, staff and the wider community is our top priority.
Why are you offering a limited menu?
Some foods can be difficult for our chefs to make while they maintain social distancing rules in the kitchen, so we’ve introduced a new, limited menu for breakfast and lunch. It’s filled with lots of delicious options which we we’re sure you’ll love!
