Fish & Chips and Buffalo Chicken Fingers give the menu a clear first-order path. Both are stronger anchors than broad pub categories because they are named dishes with enough surrounding comfort-food support to define the visit.

Veal Parm Pizza gives The Rex a clear lead dish instead of relying on a generic pizza identity. It connects the Italian comfort-food menu to the thin-crust specialty format and gives first-time diners a specific order to build around.

Pad Thai Noodle and Royal Pad Thai Noodle are the clearest anchors, with the Royal version adding tiger shrimp, chicken, tamarind, coconut milk and an egg wrap.

The 5-Item Charcuterie Board gives Cured its clearest centrepiece. It starts the meal with the restaurant's original board identity, then leaves room for tapas and cocktails to build the rest of the visit.
