Fried Chicken and Free Wine #2
Apr 5, 2025 onlyFried Chicken and Free Wine* * [tasting] Yeah yeah, it’s a wine tasting but we’ll be slinging awesome low cost wines by the glass so you can have another one with your fried chicken. We're doing this once a month on Saturday's from 12-4pm [because it’s…fun!] Expect fried chicken, fun wines, big tunes and wine makers when they’ve finished vintage. Grab your mates, see ya there. You don’t need to book and seats will not be reserved, but do it anyway so we know how many chickens to sling!
