welcome

monster is now a herbivore.

Monster Kitchen and Bar recognises the importance of sustainabil-

ity. for 365 days we are celebrating "the year of the veg". calling

on all the talent, skills and experience of our culinary and service

teams, we endeavour to turn the innocent veg into the l ife of the

party, with an emphasis on locally sourced produce.

also on offer is an eclectic range of cocktails, wines and spirits.

be adventurous and do something different, fabulous, unconven-

tional and never ever boring. that's how we roll.
