01 — The Charcoal Grill

Fire and iron

Our kitchen runs on an industrial charcoal grill, not a deep fryer. The result is smoky, charred, and substantial food that stands up to a long poker session. Every plate carries the deep, unmistakable flavour of real fire, giving players something more than a quick snack between hands.

  • Charcoal grill imparts a deep, smoky flavour to meats and vegetables.
  • Grill is fired up from 3 PM until late, matching poker hours.
  • Menu items are prepared to order, not sitting under heat lamps.

Every item in this category is engineered for minimal mess and maximum flavour. Sliders come in pairs, served on brioche with a side of house pickles. Finger food includes grilled skewers, empanadas, and crispy potatoes. No cutlery required, so you can stay in the hand while you eat.

04 — Table-Side Dining

Never leave the felt

Our floor staff take orders directly at the poker table. Food and drinks are delivered on small trays that fit beside your chip stack. You can eat between hands without disrupting the game.

  1. Signal a floor staff member

    Raise your hand or catch a floor staff member's eye. Orders are taken verbally at the table, so you never need to leave your seat.

  2. Place your order

    Choose from the late-night menu. Staff can recommend items that are easy to eat between hands and will confirm any dietary requirements.

  3. Food arrives table-side

    Orders are delivered within 15 minutes during peak hours on trays designed to fit on the table's side rail.

  4. Eat between hands

    Please avoid eating during active betting rounds. Between hands is the ideal time to refuel without slowing the game.
