ABOUT ANCORA WEDDINGS
Ancora Weddings has been bringing a little bit of the Mediterranean to the Tweed Coast since 2017. Our light, bright interiors, complete with water views and a Med Club vibe, were inspired by owners’ Mark and Lia’s romantic Greek Island engagement.
WHAT’S THE FOOD LIKE AT ANCORA?
With a similar theme running through our most popular menu, our Mediterranean shared feasting menu is never short on compliments. In collaboration with UK celebrity chef Matt Kemp our menus are designed to be shared and enjoyed together. With signature dishes such as slow cooked lamb and Byron Bay Haloumi – you cannot go wrong! But we also offer two other cuisines, Italian and Mexican (courtesy of our sister restaurant Lola’s Cantina.)
