SEASONAL PRODUCE
Great food starts with great produce. We proudly prioritise local, fresh & seasonal ingredients wherever possible, supporting Queensland growers, regional producers & artisan suppliers.
While this is our gold-standard, we also believe in being open and transparent about instances when sourcing out-of-state is necessary. Due to the size of our business, the breadth of our culinary offerings, and our event capacity, there are occasions when 100% 'local and seasonal' produce may not be achievable within Queensland - factors such as timing, climate or availability can affect this.
In these cases, our commitment remains to support other Australian businesses & producers, before all else.
