We don't have a kitchen, but if you're hungry we do have some creative ways of feeding you.Great wine is for everyone, and everyone is welcome. See you soon at the Cellars!

Another enjoyable evening at Two Doors. Our table of 8 were seated comfortably upstairs and enjoyed some tasty entrees and more than a couple drinks. My highlight was the new stout on tap - it was a hefty 9% but the taste was exquisite dark and bitter but sweet and fruity.

The vegetarian selection is still utterly rubbish. Why can’t there be one dish that’s actually not terrible or weird combinations. Also the slaw was pure mustard - the schnitzel was super crispy though
