Come and enjoy some beautiful food on New Years Eve, then soak up the atmosphere or watch the midnight fireworks. Two sittings 5pm & 8pm, bookings essential and deposit required.

The menu is excellent with lots of thought put into flavours and seasonal tastes. Mamma particularly likes that sweets have not been forgotten either AND every item on the menu can be ordered in 'kiddo' size. Fantastic.
