Mavericks Gastropub, where vintage aviation charm meets bold, modern flavour. At Mavericks, our Gastropub and conference facility are decked out in a character-filled old-world aviation theme—complete with a replica WWII US Navy spotter plane suspended above.

Inside, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, never uptight, and the food? Anything but ordinary. From slow-cooked Lamb Shoulder and Korean Fried Chicken to loaded Poké Bowls, Seafood Chowder, and decadent desserts like Caramilk Cheesecake and triple Chocolate Lava Cake, our menu is a celebration of flavour with something for everyone.

Bringing the family? Kids are co-pilots here. Our all-in-one kids’ meals include Fruit, Cheese and Crackers, Corn Chips with Guacamole, their choice of main, a Drink—and optional dessert or a classic spider. It’s a full adventure on a plate, perfect for even the littlest flyers. Whether you're here for a relaxed bite, a hearty feed, or a gathering with colleagues—prepare for take-off
