Welcome to The Foodworks

To ensure every dish is enjoyed at its best, our food is cooked to order as soon as it reaches the kitchen. This means your dishes will be served as they are ready rather than in a fixed sequence. As a guide, we recommend choosing six or seven dishes to share between two people, and you’re always welcome to order more as you go — it’s all part of the fun. We also regularly feature specials, created using the freshest seasonal ingredients available each day, often in limited quantities. Please ask a member of the team about today’s selection.
