Local Food Dinners

Farm to Table Dinner Series

Our dinners are unique, we pick a theme and create a multi-course tasting menu based on local products and global cooking styles. Each dinner is different and changes from season to season, year to year. We introduce you to your food and provide background into the sourcing and preparation of each dish served during the dinner. Our clients come from near and far to experience our truly local style of cooking. We always weave a lot of foraged wild food into the mix – it makes for an ultimate local dining experience.

We serve the dishes as courses for the entire group. Dinner typically starts at 5 pm and we serve all courses to the guests at the same time. The evening takes 4 hours and we cook and prepare as the evening unfolds. We can accommodate dietary issues (vegan, meat-free, gluten free, etc) if we know in advance. We can also provide the experience as a private booking for dinner.

Public dinners are $125/person plus GST unless noted

Private dinners are minimum of 10 people and $150/person

We offer gift certificates for a unique experience for someone special.

Dinners: 5 pm start – 9 pm (this is a tasting menu that takes 4 hours to eat!)

Vegetarian versions of all dinners are available upon request

You have 48 hours to cancel a reservation and re-book.
