Pop your head into the kitchen and say hi

Chris and Kirsty Catalano have a passion for food and for hospitality, and they bring their family kitchen to your plate every night they are open. You will see them both in the restaurant daily, because they are hands-on owners who work alongside their team. Their eldest daughter, Denikah, runs front of house.
