What’s the most delicious thing to eat on the 8th November 2025? To find out you’d better join us and local food legend Matt Golinski for a seasonal long table lunch celebrating Spring’s harvest. There is no pretense with Matt, just a passion for food prepared from the freshest local ingredients grown by his farmer friends. One of the most memorable things about Matt’s lunches (apart from the food!) is the time he takes to explain the menu, the ingredients and the farmers that produced them. You can’t help but be inspired by Matt’s creativity and sensitivity with food and you’ll leave with an appreciation of just how much good food comes out of the Mary Valley and surrounding region. This is not lunch for the sake of it, this is lunch to connect you to the local landscape and the people who farm here.

Served like a family meal on long tables this is an experience to enjoy real food and the magic that happens when good people come together to eat.
