MR. PICKLES BAR & EATERY

Arguably the best riverside terrace in town, an über-cool fit-out, a bar that sparkles with glassware and a clever, ever-changing seasonal menu. Mr. Pickles’ food takes diners outside the box with bold flavours. Charcuterie boards are a treat. Hands-on owners Mat Pedley (front of house) and Maurice Montero (chef) are having fun.

SMITH’S GENERAL STORE

Vicky Smith’s business is a hunting ground for affordable pre-loved decanters, lemon squeezers, Agee jars, rolling pins and egg beaters, all the things that grandma once wielded. There are also up-to-the-minute ceramics, zinc-wares, candles, baskets and more to tie it all together.
