Burger of the Month
Our patty this month is sure to get you feeling fine about the end of summer - it's the Thai Red Curry burger! It's made with pumpkin, banana blossom, spring onions, gluten free soy sauce, coconut & Thai red curry paste. We recommend topping it with soy soaked pineapple rings and our home made satay sauce!
Our toppings are Monterey Jack cheese, Applewood vegan cheese, halloumi, onion rings, avocado, homemade kimchi and salsa.
Our loaded fries are going strong. These fries are made with our air fryer, cooked with absolutely no added oil, while keeping their golden crispy crunch. Load them with either vegan/dairy cheese and red onion chutney/kimchi, or salsa and avocado.
Guest Coffee
Located in West Sussex, Skylark are a unique operation. They both roast top-notch coffee, and are 100 percent non-profit. All income from their roasting funds charity projects including jobs training at Pro Baristas, therapeutic food growing at Rock Farm, homeless interventions, and more.
Skylark are also at the forefront of sourcing coffee ethically - committing to pay double Fair Trade prices plus donating an extra £1 per kilo to conserve nature (including Skylarks) and empower growers exploited by coffee supply chains. Their head roaster Micah has worked in coffee supply chains for the best part of a decade, and most of the coffees are sourced either through his prior relationships with farmers, or through other non-profit partners.
This will be as always be served alongside our forever favourites Extract.
Guest Beers
This month we are excited to finally be getting in a much larger beer fridge, and with it we will be expanding our beer selection! We'll also be offering a 10% discount on all take away beers, so you continue to support independent breweries through us! We're showcasing Deya this month, a Cheltenham brewery that began in 2015. They're known for their attention to detail when it comes to the clarity of flavour & aroma in their beers, consistently bringing out exciting unfiltered and unpasteurised (mostly vegan) brews.
They're also committed to fighting climate change, working closely with Tyndall Sustainability and supporting UK nature based projects like Forest Carbon.

1. Half fill your serving glasses with the slushed ice.
2. Pour the beer into a tall mixer and let settle.

Cowabunga Dude
We had the absolute pleasure of meeting Lisa McGuinness in her permanent exhibition space at Gallery 7 in Margate Old Town. Her work is expressive and stylish, illustrating fashion and people - brought to life using acrylics, watercolours and ink. You can choose from loads of great prints to spruce up your living or work space, or get some cool cards for your pals during Virgo season!! We particularly love her Air Jordan and Nike pics.
Keepin' It Green
In the last decade, coral restoration has become a mandatory tool to counteract coral reefs' fatal decline. SECORE is developing techniques for sustainable and diverse coral restoration on larger scales. Breeding large numbers of coral offspring from natural spawning events has now proved successful among Caribbean locations!
Breeding corals may be broken down into three simplified steps: collecting coral spawn during natural spawning events and facilitating its fertilization; culturing coral larvae to settle and metamorphose into coral polyps; and placing the young corals back into the wild. Hope for the oceans is alive & well people!!
