Food Scene

Quality, authentic 'gourmet' style pizza . Bar and restaurant concepted by legendary identity then eccentrically created by the inimitable Trent Eggington / Dylan Hickey combination and their Melbourne hospitality coastal trade conections. The boys bought an unprecedented operation to port fairy which was embraced. Pete has maintained the original formula and consistently creates excellent pizza. The place employs / or has employed most of the local grommets at one time or another.
