The relaxed yet refined dining destination is overseen by owner Angela Dillon. There’s a strong focus on showcasing the best of the region but what really stands out is the warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes it feel accessible while still offering a touch of casual luxury. The menu features seasonal produce from the garden and uses charcoal cooking to bring depth and character to the flavours. Start with goat cheese brûlée with estate beetroot, local berries and cress, followed by dishes such as pistachio-crusted roast chicken with estate vegetables, chive crème and balsamic jus. To finish, a classic tiramisu keeps things familiar and comforting. An extensive selection of local wines ties everything together, reflecting the surrounding region. Thoughtful, generous and grounded in its setting, delivering a polished dining experience.
