Not heading home to mum’s cooking on Anzac Day long weekend? No sweat. These kitchens are open on April 25 for you.
It’s amazing when Anzac Day falls on a Monday making that public holiday become an amazing long weekend. Those of us who have no plans but to laze about and let someone else do the cooking for us will be glad to know that more than a handful of locals will be staying open on April 25. Because everyone deserves a good feed on this day. Agreed?
Want to know who's playing two-up?
