Food wise, take your pick from tasty woodfired pizza, meat dishes, seafood and veggie options."

"Cosy little date nights, sunshine laden weekends or the perfect setting for group dinner and drinks.

"Definitely more bar than restaurant, Strange Company’s share-y, charcuterie-y menu, nevertheless more than holds its own. Always rotating and seasonally updating, it’s best to go with a “whaddaya got?. ” attitude and see what’s on offer… Will it be grilled octopus, kipfler potatoes and mojo rojo?"
