We were so intrigued about the little restaurant in the bush that we always drive by on our way to Grassy Head that we booked a table. And I’m glad we did! Character. Ambience. And food prepared with love. If you’re ever in town. Go! And these “frozen juice fizz” kids drinks. An absolute winner. Pat even put his hair up for the occasion 🤣

I knew that chicken stock I brought on holiday wou I knew that chicken stock I brought on holiday would be put to good use. It’s a gelatinous flavour bomb and makes bolognese so silky.
