Mama G’s Kitchen

Mama G’s Kitchen was opened in April 2022 on Mama G’s (aka Gloria’s) birthday! Mama G isn’t a stranger to kitchens, having worked from a very young age helping her parents in their own small bakery and delicatessen businesses. She’s now realised her own dream with Mama G’s kitchen.

Mama G’s offers a delicious range of food options to satisfy your cravings so there’s no need to go hungry while you visit the Tasting Room. Dine in and takeaway are available.
