Our menu also includes international influences, such as French and Italian delicacies, so you can mix global flavours with local favourites.
This careful curation ensures every platter is a celebration of both our region and the wider world of food, appealing to a wide range of tastes and preferences.

Our estate is designed for all seasons. On warm summer days, take a seat at a picnic table or spread out on the grass. On cooler days, enjoy your picnic under the covered veranda, complete with drop-down sides and heaters to keep you cosy.
We do recommend booking a table to guarantee your spot, especially on busy days.
Of course, if you’d rather take your picnic elsewhere, everything can be packed up for a takeaway, perfect for enjoying at the beach, during a drive, or back at home.
