The menu style is represented by the venue's restaurant and bar-and-grill format, although specific dishes and cuisine traditions are not defined here. Its moderate price level places it within a mid-range dining category. The setting supports both dine-in meals and takeaway orders, giving the venue a flexible role for different occasions.

Outdoor seating is available in addition to the indoor dining environment.

The outdoor option also adds flexibility for different dining occasions without changing the venue's central restaurant and bar-and-grill character.

Takeaway service also allows food to be collected rather than eaten on the premises.
