Jazz and Shiraz Fri 27th August
Jennifer Degrassi is not just a Locavore local, she is an all singing dancing chanteuse recognised around Australia. Join us for dinner or at the bar as we soak up the jazz, and consume wines by the half glass, which means you get to look at a lot more!
Bookings highly recommended.

Locavore (local-eater) lives by the principles of the 100-mile diet. That is wherever possible, all produce is sourced from within a 160 km radius.
When in doubt we follow these principles:
If not local, family farmed; if not family farmed, organic; if not organic then fair-trade.
A recent Choice Magazine survey found that the average basket of food in Australia has travelled 72 000 km. So... Assuming:
| Average Locavore basket of food miles |
= | 10 000 | ||
| Saving a total of food kilometres per basket |
= | 62 000 | ||
| Locavore serves 4 baskets of food per day |
= | 248 000 | ||
| Locavore saved kilometres per week |
= | 1 488 800 | ||
| Open 50 weeks per year |
= | 74 400 000 | ||
| Open 2.70 years |
= | 200 880 000 |
| Listed account suppliers on MYOB since opening |
