It was such a pleasure being at the A Night Out For Hospo and meeting so many of the people behind the local businesses we love.

We caught up with Daniel from PALACE TAVERN and had a chat about the place, their quiz nights, and apparently the best burgers in town.

Now we want to know…

Have you been to Palace Tavern?

We loved getting the chance to meet so many local business owners and hear the stories behind the places that make our community what it is.
