I can also vouch for them. Tiba's is better but the van does a good kebab.

the bruns sporting club wasn't bad at all. had that chicken librato thingo- like a spanish style parma. was delish but the paprika mash had little flavour

other guys got fish and chips which they reckon were really good

ranga beer got me well pished. will go again, if only for the random convos with the kitchen guy. massive acid trance casualty. excellent fun

the hidden pizza bar is a bad campaign. just look for us the way you would normally look for a business? google is how i found it.

fents the ranga is a one of those beers that is made in a brewery in geelong. you know where you go and make a beer, they brew it and stick your label on it? like the hawthorn pale guys are doing. bloody good beer.

"A light, Belgian styled beer brewed with a difference. Fresh ginger, lemon and honey are added into the mix to provide a pleasant background bouquet. A very refreshing session beer which is not too sweet, not too dry and not too overpowering. It is beer with ginger, not ginger with beer! Make it a Ranga!"
