Ask any chef what they eat after a busy day in the kitchen and the answer will be the same. Comfort food, or in other words junk food, guilty pleasures, easy on the mind food.

Late tables of Next Door can find Ric at 11.30pm behind the pass into a bucket of chicken wings with beer in hand. On a special occasion he may be halfway through a door stop bacon butty consisting of our house cured belly bacon and fermented tomato ketchup. There have been occasions when lucky diners have gone home with a goodie bag of said bacon.

Although seemingly simple, there is always something a bit special and particularly delicious about these off menu classics. We all joke he has a magic touch with food in every form, even with his children’s salad cream sandwiches.

Join us for comfort food Next Door style, big on flavour, delicate in design.
