Notable offerings included the Buffalo Blue burger, which consists of two aged beef patties, Shropshire blue cheese, American cheese, bacon crumb, blue cheese dressing, buffalo hot wing sauce, and iceberg-red onion. The Bella Emberg, a veggie option, featured deep-fried halloumi cheese, mushroom duxelle, Dutch gouda cheese, ketchup, chipayo, crunchy onion flakes, and iceberg-red onion.
Sides included Nakatomi Fries topped with hoisin, sriracha, lime mayo, coriander, red chili, and sesame seeds, and Salt and Pepper Fries seasoned with a spicy coating, chopped onion, spring onion, and red and green peppers. The complete meal, including beverages, cost £43 for two people.
