Chef's Surprise ! A Prawn Cocktail! As most of you know we specialise in delicious seafood dishes, whether its in a
"meal" on our gourmet prawn pizza, or our "world renowned" Seafood Saganaki crammed with all the goodness of the sea; snapper, prawns, mussels! A customer asked me recently "what's with the prawn cocktail it kinda of reminds me of Cobb & Co"? The truth is a loyal customer asked me one night could you do a prawn cocktail ? and it stuck we haven't been able to move it off the menu since! It's really popular & delicious, take a trip down memory lane - but better, you wont regret it! The customers always right! Right!😉😘
