A Menu Created by Head Chef Adrian Buchanan

Head Chef Adrian Buchanan has created a plate menu for lunch and dinner, with guests able to choose between two, three, or four plates. The plates are classically inspired, with smaller versions of main dishes such as lamb loin, pepper fillet, confit duck, and spinach and ricotta tortellini. The panko-crumbed Brie served with wild rocket and spicy bacon jam is a must-try, while the crème brûlée is the perfect ending to a delicious meal. With Ken Forrester as one of the owners, the wine menu is extensive, offering a variety of wines to pair with the food.

If you’re looking for a light breakfast, the restaurant offers a concise menu of muesli, omelets with your choice of fillings, croissants, sandwiches, and a savory waffle. The on-site deli stocks a selection of local produce, wagyu meats, jams, preserves, and sauces.
