food

Our menu is built around what is in season. Nearly everything is made from scratch and in-house; we churn our own butter, make our own bacon, sausages and sauces and you can find our chefs, pickling, smoking, curing, and fermenting to achieve our desired results. 

The jewel in the crown of the open kitchen is the Pira charcoal oven, which was imported from Spain and enables food to be cooked simply, with rich and solid flavours.

We choose to work with local growers, and support like-minded sustainability focussed business’s; We use produce that is predominantly organic, all meat on our menu is free range and ethically raised and our Seafood has been caught using low-impact sustainable methods. We believe that great tasting food, starts with sourcing the best produce.

In addition to our Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner menus below; Our Chefs menu is a set menu option for a minimum of 2 people and is required for groups of + 8 for dinner. It is also an option for group lunch bookings if prior notice is given; We also have set lunch menu options for groups for $50pp. Vegetarian & vegan options are available with prior notice.
