We are a small boutique restaurant nestled in the Kitchen Garden at Blackwood Ridge.
We grow a wide range of produce here on the farm and our menu reflects the seasonal availability from paddock to plate.
This summer we are offering a 4 course set menu for Lunch Friday, Saturday & Sunday bookings available at 12pm or 1pm.
Morning and afternoon teas will be available either side of lunch service and will be predominately outdoors, depending on the weather and indoor seating availability.
Table d'hôte $79 per person
