The Greatest Showman-inspired circus spectacular twirling into Perth

Plus General Public Food Co. is making moves in Marmion.

November 20, 2025

Can you hear that? It’s the sound of the Ashes kicking off tomorrow! I know most of you don’t care — it rates probably 2/10 on the office’s give-a-flying-focaccia scale as well — but I’ve got tomorrow off to attend day one and am catching a live cricket podcast show tonight, all while very much enjoying some cricket nuffy chat with my barber yesterday (who’s also going to the Boxing Day test, lucky bugger).

For the rest of you, don’t worry there’s only some cricket chat below, along with another triple-stacked edition of food news, some fun little bike tour news down in Mandurah, and a very recognisable South Perth locale’s redevelopment is open for public comment until Monday.

General Public Food Co. making moves in the northern suburbs

It’s non-stop for the team at General Public Food Co.! Alongside their existing Scarborough venue, the same team have had their hands in Mount Pleasant’s Rowing Pavilion and newly opened Bert’s in City Beach.

Now, they’re heading north – with a new General Public outpost set to open in Marmion later this month, offering more of those relaxed, family-focused vibes and plenty of sourdough pizza from November 27.
