The menu is a carnival of flavours, with options ranging from beef and chicken to veggie and vegan delights. The ‘John Wayne’ is a crowd-pleaser, featuring a 6oz Welsh beef patty, smoked bacon, American cheese, BBQ sauce, Cajun mayo, red onion relish, and lettuce. For those seeking a fiery kick, the ‘Spicy Uncle Pedro’ combines a 6oz Welsh beef patty with super spicy Caribbean hot sauce, avocado & Wah Wah salsa, jalapeño-infused sour cream, and lettuce. Vegetarians and vegans aren’t left out, with options like the ‘Vegan John Wayne,’ which includes a handmade bean & herb patty, hash brown, vegan cheese, BBQ sauce, Cajun mayo, red onion relish, and lettuce.

Sides are equally tempting. ‘Dirty Fries’ come loaded with melted cheese, smoky bacon bits, jalapeño-infused sour cream, and Cajun mayo, while the ‘Hula Hula Fries’ feature mozzarella, smoked bacon, pineapple, garlic mayo, mango sauce, and chives.

The Grazing Shed prides itself on using quality, local produce, ensuring that each bite supports Welsh suppliers. The restaurant’s rapid dining system means you’ll be seated and served in no time, even on a game day.

While the atmosphere is casual, with wooden benches and a community feel, it’s worth noting that the restaurant can get busy during peak times. Arriving early or visiting during off-peak hours might enhance your dining experience.
