Did you know that May 28 was International Burger Day?

We love a classic burger and have just added a brand new 'Smash Burger' to our lunch menu for all the burger fans out there.

Here's our Smash Burger recipe to get your weekend taste buds tingling...

Take two sumptuous prime beef grilled burger patties and lightly grill it on the pan until the three thick slices of extra tasty cheese completely surrounds it and melts through the centre.

Lift that delicious stack onto a locally baked sesame milk bun with lightly grilled onion, mustard and fresh pickles with a generous serve of SSP
burger sauce on top.

Served with a side of freshly cooked chips and you have the perfect lunch by the harbour... well almost.
Absolute perfection would be the inclusion of one of our new beer tasting paddles.

If that doesn't get you craving a burger... nothing will :)
