Crumbed calamari rings fried and served with fresh lemon wedges, Tartar sauce and chips.

Tortellini panna – Sautéed beef pockets with bacon and fresh ground black pepper in a creamy parmesan flavoured
sauce.
Pasta Primavera -Seasonal vegetables simmered with olives, capers and sun-dried tomatoes in a creamy “Pomarola”
sauce.
