At the heart of the menu is the restaurant’s signature steak offering, with rump, fillet, sirloin and ribeye steaks served with a choice of sauces and sides, plus new triple-cooked chips for the ultimate steakhouse experience.
New main courses include:
- A pork chop served with chimichurri hasselback potatoes
