Clear your schedule, wear stretchy pants and get stuck in.
Tippler’s Tap – Pork Loaded Fries
Loaded fries but make them cheesy. Tippler’s piles slow-cooked pulled pork on top of fries, then drenches them in beer cheese, bourbon BBQ sauce and sour cream. We’re drooling.
Popolo – Four Cheese Arancini
Four cheeses, one perfect bite. Popolo’s quattro formaggi arancini are stuffed with mozzarella, parmesan, gorgonzola and fontina, then served with truffle mayo and crispy sage. This is what cheese dreams are made of.
Harajuku Gyoza – Mozzarella Gyozas
Crunchy, cheesy, ridiculously good. These golden mozzarella gyozas are dusted with cheese and oregano, and yes, they taste just as wild as they sound. Run, don’t walk.
Ahmet’s – Sigara Borek
These crispy Turkish spring rolls are stuffed with feta and mozzarella, plus a hit of garlic dill yoghurt on the side. Cheesy, herby and totally addictive.
Barbossa – Halloumi Bites
Pan-fried halloumi with chipotle mayo and a squeeze of lemon. Simple, salty, snacky perfection.
The Jetty – Tassie Baked Camembert
Hot tip: don’t try to share this one. Baked Tassie camembert served with aged cheddar, fig paste, pickles, and crusty bread. Add honey if you’re feeling extra.
The Charming Squire – Cheesy Garlic Bread
Garlic bread is great. Cheesy garlic bread with ale-infused cheese sauce? Life-changing.
Vici – Carbonara ai Funghi
Spaghetti in mascarpone cream sauce with bacon, wild mushrooms and a parmesan snowfall. Basically the pasta of your dreams.
Dal Dal – Korean Cheese Dogs
Deep-fried, cheesy and dripping in sauce, Dal Dal’s Korean hot dogs are pure cheesy chaos in the best way. Grab the four-pack and thank us later.
