Menus
Menus are created seasonally and may differ from the sample menus on the website. Your menu will be sent to you about 5 days before your event, provided we have all the event details. Please note that during peak periods, your menu may be sent closer to the event. We can cater to dietary requirements, but please provide them before the final menu is sent. The menu is a chef’s choice, and everyone will receive the same menu, except those with specific dietary needs. Changes of mind about preferences won’t be accommodated on the night.
Menu requests
If you would like a specific item included on your menu, please be aware that this may not be possible due to the rapidly increasing cost of ingredients. Your menu is a Chef Choice Tasting Menu experience and not an a la carte or choice menu.
Your menu is created around seasonal availability and asking for premium ingredients or items not in season may incur surcharges.
Children
Children under 12 can be catered for with mains and desserts for $55 per person. Children's meals must be booked at the time of booking. You will be sent options for your children's meals with your final menu. All children will receive the same meal unless there are dietary restrictions.
Extra Chef
Due to the high quality of our menus and to ensure you get the best experience possible, bookings over 15 guests may require an additional chef. The chef is charged $55 per hour for a minimum of 5 hours. This is dependent on the type of experience you have booked and will be communicated on a case-by-case basis.
