"To the narrow-minded, heading for a curry in the blazing heat is an error.

This outpost is part of a brand spanking new development, meaning it has all of your chilled air needs, as well as those incredible lamb chops. Test your mum’s theory that a hot tea on a scorching day does wonders with the spicy venison and vermicelli doughnut. " - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
