Come join in – from beginners to experienced knitters. Now you can wile away the evening hours, stitch and bitch or flip the script and give Grandma a cardie next Christmas. Everyone welcome, young or old, blokes or ladies. Just bring down some wool and needles.

We have a professional massage therapist, offering up some relief for all of you hard-working parents! Enjoy a FREE 10 minute back, neck and shoulder massage while our lovely staff member takes your baby off your hands… heaven! Did we mention this is free?!

STONEGRILLS

Every Monday and Tuesday we offer stonegrill meals – two for the price of one (the meal of lesser value is free)! 

If you haven’t had a Stonegrill meal before you should try it out - your food is cooked by YOU, at your table, on a 400 degree Celsius volcanic rock, with no added fats or oils. Just like a mini BBQ, cooked to perfection because you cooked it! 

This deal is available Monday and Tuesday*, Midday – 1.30pm, and then again from 5.30pm onwards. We only have a limited number of stones (and they take a good few hours in the oven to heat back up) so they're only available on a first-in, first-served basis. Get in quick so you don't miss out! 
* excluding public holidays

STEAKS AND BURGERS

If stonegrills don't tickle your fancy (or you missed out), never fear - we have 2 of our Porterhouse Steak meals for $35, or any 2 of our Burgers for $30. These deals are on every Monday and Tuesday* evening, from 5.30pm. 
*excluding public holidays
