Little Nessie
Murder by Mushroom
Our take on a beef wellington - but don’t worry, there’s no death caps in sight. Toasted brioche bun layered with black garlic and Dijon mayonnaise, a 120g beef smash patty, melted Swiss cheese, and portobello mushrooms stuffed with rich mushroom duxelles. Finished with a golden puff pastry topper and served alongside a savoury au jus.
Sprig + Fern Tāhunanui
Smoked Pork Stack
Eight-hour smoked pork belly layered with crispy bacon, sweetcorn fritter, cipotle bacon aioli, house-made pickled red onions, smoked garlic BBQ sauce and pickles stacked in a buttermilk bun, served with house cut chips and tomato sauce.
