Every dish is delivered with flair: a locally smoked frankfurt with red onion and thyme marmalade, mustard, tomato and rocket on a lightly toasted baguette … that’s a hot dog, here!
An antipasto plate is an inspired way to try a taste of all the best local flavours – meats from Taree’s renowned artisan butcher, blue vein from the nearby Comboyne culturists, Hastings cheddar, Yarras olives, roasted eggplant, sun-dried tomatoes, marinated baby figs, roast olive tapenade, apricot mustard and balsamic vinegar are among the samples by “name” local producers that go to make up a true regional feast. And a mere $7 secures a serving of fresh-baked banana bread with Hastings honey yoghurt and rhubarb and lime compote, perfect with a latté or piccolo brewed from fresh-ground coffee beans.
