Hi there! Please see FAQ's below - we hope this is helpful!

Please note, there is absolutely NO SMOKING permitted on the premises 

What days are you open?

We are open Thursday - Saturday for dinner service only from 6pm onwards

Do you cater for dietary requirements?

We are able to cater to dietary requirements with advance notice i.e. allergies & intolerances. Please add these under "Special Requests" on the booking form.

Due to our small kitchen team and the nature of the restaurant we are unable to cater for personal preferences and alternative diets, i.e. Vegan, Vegetarian, Pescatarian, Keto etc. 

We encourage you to reconsider making a reservation if you are choosing not to eat certain food groups as we would love for our guests to experience what we work so hard to offer. 

Is there a children's menu?

No, we do not provide a separate children's menu. 

The food we cook is made with the freshest local ingredients and can be consumed by people of ALL ages. We are happy for children under 12 to share a menu, please notify us when you make your reservation!

**Please DO NOT bring your own food/food from other venues into our restaurant

How far in advance can I book a table?

We take reservations up to 90 days in advance.

Reservations for the SAME DAY cut off at 5:00pm.

If there are no times available it means we are fully booked!

Can we bring our pets?

We love pets, however, we do need to ask you to leave yours at home for the comfort of our guests and preservation of the kitchen garden.

Is the venue licensed?

We are BYO only - which means you will need to bring your alcoholic beverages of choice! We do supply tea, coffee, locally made soda water and soft drinks. We charge a $4 corkage fee per person for alcoholic beverages.

Gift vouchers

We no longer provide gift vouchers 

Haven't heard back from us?

We advise you to check your Spam/Junk folder if you're waiting on a response from us. We do our very best to get back to everyone in a timely manner, but sometimes it is misdirected to the junk folders.
