On the Menu

At Wild Side, the menu will certainly tantalise and delight your taste buds. They offer a wide range of dishes, ranging from juicy burgers, chees pizzas, something sweet, as well as something tasty from the grill. And if you're looking to sip on an amazing cocktail, there's sure to be something to suit your taste and preference.

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.
