Must-Try Dishes

  • The Wildling Burger: Tuck into this delicious burger, crafted with a beetroot bun, and filled with a homemade beef patty, streaky bacon, matured cheddar, wild relish and onion rings. Of course, it comes with a side of fries!
  • Running Wild Salad: For something tasty yet healthy, this salad is a must. It's a vegan bowl, filled with quinoa, tender-stem broccoli, roasted chickpeas, sauteed spinach, avo, hummus, and sweet potato wedges.
  • Face Smasher: And to end off your meal on a high note, dessert! We love the Face Smasher – Mexican churros, served with chilli chocolate sauce.
