Winter menu, Matuans!
Sorry it's so fuzzy - we can't put our hands to a decent resolution picture of it, so best you come on in and take a proper look!
The lamb shank is back, the chowder and the parmigiana are back, the soft tacos are new and so is the Thai salad, and The Razor Special has made the cut (cut... razor... see what I did there? Oh, never mind...)
We are getting great feedback on this, so come and give it a try!
Cheers from Jeff, April and the team

Jeff is a bit of a Star Wars buff, so he might get one or two answers this quiz - if, in fact, it turns out to be ANYTHING AT ALL about Star Wars!
