Phatbreads
Delicious sourdough phatbreads fired in a glorious mobile wood fired oven aka The Phatmobile! Phatbreads are what they call the beautiful sourdough flatbreads adorned with fresh mouthwatering toppings. They are made with the best quality flour from Marriage’s, fantastic organic veg and eggs from Sarah Green Organics and Brambletye Fruit Farm. Top quality cured meats and cheese from Tozino and Black Hand Food, and outstanding fresh meat from Turner and George. What makes them so delicious is the slow fermentation of the sourdough (at least 24 hours), lots of vigorous kneading, good quality flour and cooking them in the blistering hot wood fired oven.





Chef Grant Hawthorne produces award-winning, premium Mozambique-style Peri Peri sauces and marinades, with a selection of street food to showcase their versatility such as pulled pork, chicken Prego rolls, prawns and burgers.
