Extensive Menu Choices

Champion Burger

I recently tried the burger featuring a juicy beef patty, crispy bacon, and melted cheese, and it did not disappoint. The flavors melded beautifully, creating a satisfying bite with each mouthful. The fries served alongside were perfectly crispy, complementing the richness of the burger. Overall, it’s a solid choice for anyone craving a hearty meal that delivers on taste without any unnecessary frills. Highly recommend!

Braised Lamb Shank

The slow-cooked lamb shank is a standout dish, tender and flavorful, complemented perfectly by a rich gravy that enhances its natural taste. The seasonal vegetables add a refreshing touch, balancing the hearty lamb. Each bite is a testament to careful preparation and attention to detail. This dish is ideal for anyone seeking comfort food with a touch of sophistication. A satisfying experience that leaves you wanting more.

Salmon Belly Skewer

The grilled salmon belly skewers with teriyaki glaze were a delightful treat. The fish was perfectly cooked, tender, and infused with a rich, savory sweetness from the glaze. Accompanied by a refreshing side salad, the dish offered a nice balance of flavors and textures. While the portion could have been slightly larger, the quality of the ingredients and preparation made for a satisfying dining experience.

Football Sling

The cocktail is a delightful blend of cherry brandy and gin, perfectly balanced by the herbal notes of Dom Benedictine. The addition of pineapple juice and grenadine adds a refreshing sweetness, while a splash of soda lightens the drink, making it incredibly refreshing. It's an enjoyable choice for those seeking a vibrant and fruity cocktail that doesn't overwhelm the palate. A lovely drink for any occasion!

Classic Fish and Chips

I recently tried the beer-battered fish, and it was a delightful experience. The fish was perfectly crispy, with a light, flavorful batter that complemented its freshness. Paired with golden, crispy chips, it made for a satisfying meal. The tartar sauce added a nice tang, enhancing the dish without overpowering it. Overall, a well-executed classic that I would happily recommend for a casual dining outing.
