Takeaway is not available on Christmas Day. No pre order necessary, just simply call 9528 8433 and we cook to order. Upon calling you will be told your approximate pick up time from the restaurant. We have done this before and will navigate our way through it again. Stay safe everyone and for those dining in-house we will welcome you from a distance but with a huge smile and for those enjoying our takeaway offerings that same smile and appreciation will be waiting for you upon pick up!
