Alfred Works

You head down to The Custard Factory on Gibb Street and find yourself in a converted industrial space that actually feels alive. Alfred Works is set up so you can graze properly — different vendors doing their own thing, each one genuinely good at what they do, rather than the usual airport-food-court vibe. It's the kind of place where you can rock up solo, grab a seat at the communal tables, and watch people cycling through from woodfired pizza to Asian street food to craft coffee. The whole setup feels proper Deritend — unpretentious, mixed crowd, genuinely buzzing without trying too hard.
