Jenny and Noel celebrating 30 years
Most Recent Review
“This idiosyncratic, slightly old-world haven of provincial France won’t appeal to everyone but those in favour of earthy, honest food – and the kind of service where the host greets you in the car park – will love it." .. The Age Good Food Guide 2009
““Chef-owners Noel and Jenny Burrows have been serving honest provincial food to a faithful crowd for thirty years. The set menu changes twice a season and may start with cold beef, pickled home-grown plums, grilled zucchini and romesco sauce. Follow with slow-cooked duck breast, crisp beans and Red Hill morello cherries, and conclude with a trio of seasonal fruit ice-creams. And, like dinner at a friend’s, you can bring a bottle of wine without fear of corkage." ... The Age Good Food Guide 2010
