It’s all about having a bit of fun, and the layers of the venue help us break down a few social boundaries and pre-conceptions. We’ve mixed old with new to embrace the natural beauty of this historic building and by implementing contrasting colours and furniture we’ve helped these old stone walls shine. Whether it’s our pastel pink Victoria Arduino Black Eagle espresso machine, or a framed Bill Murray portrait in a commanding position above the fireplace, we hope to put a little smile on your face.

The spot was designed ourselves with no designers or artists involved and we’re proud that everything was sketched, drawn, designed and thought of by these big old noggins of ours.
