Southsiders, get ready this Sunday (12 December) as fan-favourite ‘The Pits’ food truck levels up to a permanent Grease Monkey location.
To celebrate, 500 free Greasy burgers will be served up from 11am on opening day. Get ‘em while they’re there, as the freebies are expected to sell out within the first hour. Based off the food truck’s popularity, well over a thousand diners are predicted for opening day, said Grease Monkey Director Nick Tuckwell.
Grease Monkey Woden is opening its doors in the Westfield Bradley Street dining precinct, following two years of steady love from the Woden community for The Pits, parked across the other side of Hindmarsh Drive in Phillip. In turn, the food truck will see its last few days in Woden (in the carpark of the former hardware store) before finding a new park in Kingston in 2022.
Given that it only took a couple of years for The Pits to grow into a full-scale restaurant, perhaps the foreshore will see its own Greasy sometime soon.
Mr Tuckwell said that if there’s one way to know for sure if a neighbourhood is Grease-friendly, it’s through The Pits. “If the response is anything like what we’ve seen in Woden, then a Kingston location is definitely on the cards.”
The Woden menu will feature all the Grease Monkey staples: Greasy’s burgers, Detroit pizza and greasy fried chicken, as well as their cocktails and Grease Monkey’s signature independent and craft brews on tap.
The new eatery has a contemporary urban industrial feel, with low lighting, raw materials, baskets of plants hanging from the rafters, and tough-as-nails monkey mascots painted on the walls. On the tech side, they’ve introduced a kitchen touch screen system to cut the waste created by docket printers.
Leather bench seating, inspired by the seats of vintage cars, according to Mr Tuckwell, invites customers to sit and stay a while.
Booth and bar seating is available, underneath the overhead mural reading ‘It ain’t good if it ain’t greasy.’ Here, here!
