Yea Buoy Slider 2026 Burger Wellington
This is the last week to try our entry for Visa Wellington On a Plate Burger Wellington! Final burgers will be slung Sunday 23rd Aug.
Our slider is a celebration of kai moana and the fishermen who supply us. Fun fact "slider" is old Navy slang for the greasy little burgers that slide down in one bite.

Thank you to everyone who came, the vibes were on point!
Huge thank you to Kyle for bringing lots of tasty ideas and banter, the team loved having you in the kitchen.
The menu was a fusion of ideas, Kyle bringing his style to the local ingredients we use here at Graze as well as revamping some Graze and Culprit classics. We have created yet another butterfish fan!
