We’re still picking basil at home - so we’re putting on summery pesto’y basil’y specials “thanks to Climate Change”😬😅😁 … pizza, pasta or even risotto laden with pesto, grilled courgettes, green peas, feta, basil and toasted seeds - an explosion of summer memories in your mouth! Only $28, on special till the basil stops producing 🌱🌱🌱

Don’t get me wrong - those things do exist, we’re just here getting them in front of you - cos we don’t do all the clichéd stuff - there’s plenty more we can serve up for you!
