Outstanding food brings people together. A great community keeps them coming back. The Mornington Peninsula is our home, and giving back is part of everyday life at The Kitchens. Through 20 Cent Tuesdays, we donate 20 cents from every hot drink sold across our venues to Southern Peninsula Community Support. We also support local causes through fundraising, donations and meals for people doing it tough, and help young people build skills and confidence through work experience and mentoring.
