Both Fresh and Matt value local, responsibly farmed produce which is reflected in their seasonal menus. Matt is a true fourth generation farmer. With a rural upbringing on a classic Aussie dairy farm, his family still runs the property in the Central Tablelands of New South Wales, which supplies beef and lamb to our restaurant and for events at the Gallery. He was the pioneer of ‘paddock to plate’ philosophy in Australia and believes in the importance of everyone understanding the origins of the food being served on their plate. Matt has developed menus for events at the Gallery for lunch and dinner. As these menus use seasonal ingredients they change regularly so the menus below are sample menus only.
