Touchdown-level cravings reached. 🏈🔥

​No, we didn’t fly an Embraer through the bay this week, but our Thursday Pork Belly Ribs Special is coming in just as low, fast, and remarkably tasty!

🪧 ​We’re skipping the 500-foot altitude restriction and dropping in straight onto your plate:
​250g (The Recon): R99
​500g (The Low Pass): R165
​1kg (The Full Airshow): R250

​Slow-cooked, glazed to absolute perfection, and served with rustic fries. No flight permit required—just bring an appetite and get here before we sell out 😁.

​📍 Eat-in only | Starts at 5 PM
(Precision landing and bookings are highly recommended.)

Imagine the beautiful, flaky pastry of a croissant, but it's a donut, filled to max enjoyment levels with a beautiful, fresh custard cream.
Yes. All of that. In one dessert. What more could you ask for???
