Remember when we asked what YOU would like to see on our permanent menu? Well the results are in and we have the final picks!

Our Lions Mane ‘Flank Steak’ was the overall winner 🎉 the star of the Plants – Set on Fire show, the main dish and the (unsurprising) top pick for our guests!

But…our Basque Cheesecake w/ Lemon Curd was such a close second (with only 2 points separating them!!) we HAD to add it on there too! 😉

And to those who missed out on our MFWF Plants – Set on Fire event, come down and taste the two best dishes from the menu! 💚

Thanks again to the amazing for helping us perfect these dishes xx

P.S We may have a couple more new items on our menu too 😉 don’t forget to check em out

Still scrambling for a last minute Christmas gift idea?
Say less.

Gift them fire, flavour, drinks flowing and a night that’s anything but boring.

Plants Set on Fire is not your average dinner — it’s loud, hot, delicious and slightly unhinged (in the best way).

Think bold plates, good chaos, great vibes and the kind of food you just won’t stop talking about.

No wrapping paper required. No awkward returns. Just ✨experience✨.

Tickets are limited — hit the link in bio before it sells out 🔥🎁
