The Taverner is definately a great resteraunt.. The food, the vibe, the bike parking spot out the front... You have changed the place around big time since buying out the old place and doing it up.

You should see me at leat once a week there... Especially now that uni is over

Nice one dude. I done know a thing about resaurants but from what i see on tv it looks like a pretty intense career.

BTW, MrZ is one sweaty character. Check out those lakes under his pits.

Actual a side car, dirt track.... in 1960 it was the queensland champion (Australia)... in 1998 the motor (which my dad built) won 18 trophies out of 22 starts with a first at phillip island.

Yes - will drop in when in the when in the neighborhood. Got croc on the menu? I expect to see the hack reattached to that Norton by then!

Saw the FIRST pic of the "art", and I'm thinking "WTF - that looks like a sidecar bike front end ... I wonder what it was used for ... hmmmmm ..." - LOL.

Congrats and good luck!!
I know it is a tough business.

Best of luck to you and your staff!!

BTW, a mate of mine owns the East Burleigh Brewery famous for Duke beer. Give them a try for a beer brand.
He is a hell of a brewer so I expect his beers are fair dinkum.

Sorry, I should clarify... Indy has a cold drip aperatus as well as the normal coffee. It is served in a glass with ice.. The flavour is great... More flavours than normal coffee and cold so it goes down perfectly in summer... You can have it any time
