Local Talent Taverna
Food & Drink
A casual walk-in-only affair that’s open for lunch, afternoon snacks and dinner. Whether you’re riding solo, with a group of friends or have the family in tow, there’s ample space for you to park up to enjoy a meal, drink or a game of pool.
Our menu varies slightly week-to-week and is a hat tip to the fare served around the Mediterranean — expect saganaki, raw fish, freshly grilled pita and souvlaki. Chef and co-owner, Matt Hawkes (ex Bar Mason and Rita) uses local produce where possible. You can find a couple of sample menus here.
There are delicious drinks on offer too. Alongside the house cocktails, you’ll find Parrotdog beer and juicy natural wine on tap and bottomless mugs of Coffee Supreme.
Open from 12pm to late, Wednesday to Saturday, come as you are.
