A staple appetizer at Queen Vic's, this curry dish has received National recognition for its taste.

This may be one of the best dishes at Queen Vic's.
We were pleasantly surprised when the puff pastry stuffed with a 6 oz piece of beef, lamb kabob, and sautéed mushrooms arrived to the table.
The perfectly tender beef puff was accompanied by mashed potatoes and the veggie of the day.
Each bite was full of flavor and the puff melted in our mouths.
