What’s going on: Flicks and Feasts brings together two great activities in one great location. Friday night we got ‘Blue Hawaii’ showing, so naturally the fare is Americana in style – like our faves Taco Truck and Smoking Barry’s BBQ, then on Saturday the cult flick ‘Spirited Away’ is up so the fare becomes Oriental in flavour – think Caliko BBQ and Hungry Panda. Mmmmm! Pull up a pew and enjoy munching on some tasty food in front of an awesome film!
