NOTICE – PLEASE READ
We have recently noticed that we have few people on a continuous basis who are coming with their bags and putting their recycling rubbish in our bins.
We didnt mention this before thinking it was a one off incident but a lady in particular has been doing this frequently in past few weeks as recorded in our security cameras.
We kindly ask that our business rubbish bins are not used for personal or household recycling. These bins are for business use only.
We have also recently experienced damage to the front of the property caused by a vehicle, where no responsibility was taken.
We understand accidents can happen, however taking responsibility and informing us allows matters to be resolved respectfully.
CCTV cameras are in operation on the premises. We would prefer not to escalate these matters and appreciate your cooperation.
Thank you for your understanding and support as always 🙏 ❤️

UPDATE - All fixed now.
Ready to take the orders now!!
🚨 Temporary Kitchen Update 🚨
Due to an unexpected issue with our gas bottle, we’re currently unable to take orders that require the full kitchen at this stage.
The good news? 🙌 We’re still able to take and prepare fried items, so your favourites from the fryer are still good to go!
We’re working on getting this sorted as quickly as possible and truly appreciate your patience and understanding. Thank you for bearing with us — we’ll keep you updated!
