About SUNSET DINER

Sunset Diner serves juicy gourmet burgers, seasoned fries, and soft-serve sundaes in an upbeat, pastel-decked space right on The Canopy green. Diners stop in for katsu chicken or double beef patties stacked on soft buns, with dedicated fryers turning out crisp gluten-free sides. Tables spill out toward the fountains and playground, giving parents breathing room while dogs settle in on the terrace. The taps pour cold craft drinks like Billson’s Fruit Tangle alongside spicy margaritas, finishing up with s'mores and banoffee sundaes straight from the machine.

  • Gluten-free and coeliac prep: Burgers can be paired with gluten-free buns, while chips are cooked in dedicated fryers for allergy and coeliac safety.
  • Parkside park views: Features outdoor dog-friendly seating and open views positioned directly beside The Canopy's water fountains and children's playground.
  • Specialty taps and soft-serve: Pours craft taps including Billson's Fruit Tangle and dishes up house soft-serve sundaes like banoffee and s'mores.
