What’s on the menu? ⬇️🎃

Food🍽️
🥞Ghost Pumpkin Pancakes
Fluffy, golden pancakes infused with spiced pumpkin puree, these ghostly treats are shaped like friendly spirits and dusted with powdered sugar. Perfect for a hauntingly delicious breakfast or brunch, they bring autumnal warmth with hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove.
🍳Eggs in Purgatory
A fiery Italian-inspired dish featuring eggs gently poached in a bubbling, spicy tomato sauce with garlic, chili flakes, and fresh herbs. Served with crusty bread for dipping, this comforting meal is both bold and satisfying—a heavenly escape from the ordinary.
🥐Mummy Wrapped Brie Encrute
A playful twist on a classic, this dish features creamy Brie cheese wrapped in puff pastry and baked until golden. Inside, a sweet-savory layer of fruit preserves or spiced nuts adds a delightful surprise. The result is a melty, decadent appetizer with a flaky crust and gooey center.
🍎Poison Caramel Apples
Sinister yet sweet, these apples are dipped in glossy, jet-black caramel for a dramatic effect. Crisp and tart on the inside, with a chewy, darkly enchanted exterior, they’re the perfect treat for those who like a little danger with their dessert.

Drinks🍸
Bloody Mimosa
Apple C***r Hot Toddy
Pumpkin Spice Mule
Candy Corn Mimosa
