A tartare of beef piled on toast slick with dripping, soft-set Scotch eggs piqued with housemade piccalilli, a handsome roast chicken pie with rich vin jaune sauce, batter-fried potatoes plugged with sea scallops. Proper pub food, with all the trimmings.
Until its closure in 2020, Nik Hill built the The Old Fitz kitchen to be a little bit Sydney pub, a little bit St John and a whole lot of hell yeah. His CARTILAGE recipe cards pay tribute to the hits from the blackboard menu, perfectly pitched for Sunday lunches with a couple of ales and a bottle of funk. With $10 from each sale going to Nik to help with his next step.

- Raw beef on dripping toast
- Scotch eggs with piccalilli
- Roast chicken and artichoke pie for two with chicken fat & vin jaune sauce
