“We enjoyed lunch here. We had the bratwurst and chorizo pizza to share between two people. We also ordered kumara fries, which were more like wedges and I loved them! Esp with the sauces provided. So delicious!! Really friendly service too. It opens at 11:30 and that’s when we went and on a weekday. So if you want it nice and quiet go then before it gets busier.” –Keryn Keelty
