Remember when a lunch out didn’t cost the earth? We still believe in that.

Every Friday from 12pm Mavericks has our $18 lunch specials on — proper plates, proper flavours, no “tiny portion on a giant plate” nonsense.

Bring the workmates, bring the boss, bring the coworker you’ve been trying to impress… actually bring the whole darn office.

Sit inside the gastropub… or if the sun’s behaving, wander out to the deck.

$18. Fridays. Lunch done right.

Book if you’re sensible, walk in if you like living dangerously.
