Consider this your official sign to message the group chat, gather your besties, and lock in a long, slow brunch by the water this week. 🌊☕

The sun is out, the breeze is fresh, and the Esplanade is calling... It’s a beautiful day for a stroll along the Manly waterfront. Do yourself a favour - take a break from the daily rush, soak up some sunshine, and pop in for a hot coffee and a bite to eat to warm up.

Bring a friend, or just bring a book. We’re ready for you. 🤍🥞

Our Bombay Fish is our take on a classic British kedgeree, reimagined for the Australian palate. We’re talking crispy-skin barramundi, fragrant spiced rice, curry oil, and a delicate cloud of coconut foam. 🍛✨

It’s vibrant. It’s layered. It takes a bit longer to prepare but is totally worth it.

Ready to give it try? See you at Groundhog Social soon.

If you love a Mushroom Benny, you MUST check this out! 🍄✨ We’re obsessed with these wild mushrooms we get from our local legends at Ruby Creek in Wellington Point. These aren’t your average grocery store finds—they arrive fresh in the box, still on their roots and literally still growing! 🌱

From the seaweedy texture of “Elephant Ears” to the soft, cauliflower-like “Coral Mushrooms,” every box is a little different and packed with passion.

Come taste the difference that local sourcing and zero food miles makes to your morning. ☕️🍳

We asked our chef for the best takeaway sandwich recommendation, and the answer was clear - the Reuben!

Roast beef. Sauerkraut. Pickles. Swiss cheese. It’s the ultimate “grab and go” fuel for your busy day. Swing by the takeaway window and see why it’s our top pick for a lunch on the move.
