11th November 2010 Picture yourself, sipping on a glass of red, crunching away at that fragrant herby bread that is just warm and soaking up butter. A professional thinker sits at the table on your left. To your right: a couple in love. The world is a beautiful place and you are satisfied...yet tempted by that blackboard menu. The only thing holding you back is that ultimate question, Crispy grilled pork belly that has been bathed in aromatic spices such as cardamom, cinnamon and star anise then pressed and grilled or do you choose the premium cut of scotch fillet cooked to perfection with the most addictive famous burnt garlic cream sauce, decisions decisions too much to choose from....
But if you are leaning towards the sweet, then it is time to discuss the 'press-your-nose-against-the-glass' display case. They have filled it with the loveliest homemade cakes such as the Moorish Lemon cake, the dreamy chocolate cake and slices galore.
If you are wondering about the beverage list by now, it includes many of the popular red and white wines and a large selection of beers and spirits.
Thanks Workman's a pleasure to spend our money with you, and always a warm welcome atmosphere.
