Banana Split Pancake
From the Cafe, Wednesday 7 October.
Our take on the classic banana split, served hot. A fluffy hotcake is topped with fresh banana and drizzled with maple honey syrup and rich chocolate fudge sauce. We finish it with a cloud of mascarpone chantilly, rainbow sprinkles, a crumbly Cadbury Flake and a glacé cherry on top.
Banana Pudding & Honey Banana Smoothie
Two banana favourites, one day only. Enjoy a Banana Pudding Scoop from the Canteen for $7 (was $10) or a Honey Banana Smoothie for $6.50 (was $13). Pudding is layered vanilla, banana and biscuit pieces, and the smoothie is banana, full cream milk, bush honey and frozen yoghurt.
Where It All Began
The LaManna Banana Commercial
Long before National Banana Day, there was the LaManna banana. Take a trip back to 1992 and watch the original commercial that first made bananas a LaManna favourite. A little bit of Melbourne TV nostalgia, and still a good reason to love a banana.
BBQ Meats Straight From Our Butcher
Game Day and the barbie go hand in hand. Our in-house butchers prepare everything fresh, so all you have to do is light the coals and click the tongs. Stock up on thick-cut steaks, juicy beef and pork sausages, marinated chicken pieces and pre-seasoned lamb cutlets.
Want to take it up a notch? Grab a bottle of Fancy Hanks Original BBQ Sauce from our grocery aisles. It’s the perfect match for anything coming off the grill. It’s smoky, tangy, and made right here in Melbourne.
Fresh Fruit Platters: A Fresh Half-Time Option
Keep things light between quarters with one of our hand-arranged fruit platters. Choose from sliced, chopped, or fruit skewer platters. It’s perfect for sharing and easy to grab between goals or during the half-time show.
Pre-order by 2pm for next-day collection.
