What's On @ Buster Mantis

Taste Film Presents Queen & Slim (2020)
Feel the tension, taste the truth — we reimagine Queen & Slim through bold courses that echo the film's power and poetry. You're in the driving seat as we follow this iconic duo on the run to the deep south of America, from a diner-style breakfast date that captures fleeting intimacy, to fried chicken that offers comfort, to smoky bourbon sips steeped in resistance and a sweet potato pie that honours legacy, memory, and home. It's food as protest, love, legacy — and lowkey one of the most cinematic things you'll eat all year. Come hungry, bring your ride or die, leave changed.
Taste Film Presents The Lion King (1994)
Here for good grub(s)? You are in the right place, we pride ourselves on it. We're continuing our collaboration series with a legit favourite: The Lion King, in collaboration with Buster Mantis — a team of talent who cook what they like, with bold influences from all over the world. Prepare for a feast fit for a future king (or queen) with a baptism of coconut-infused beans, or perhaps a pack of hungry diners might be ready to get stuck into spiced goat skewers? Want more? No worries we're serving up delicious bean fritters on herby coconut yoghurt (amongst a veritable feast of other grubs). Prepare yourself for iconic songs, tears (at that scene) and bold dishes that accompany us on our hero's journey from cub to king.
