What do you do when you have loads of pears & plenty of left-over reds? Get out the Vacola jars and do some old-fashioned bottling. Our beurre bosc pear tree was loaded with fruit this year, so we made the most of by preserving the pears in a spiced red wine syrup (with star anise & cinnamon sticks). Once they have been bottled they can be stored for months and we have instant desert – beautiful on top of chocolate almond cake (finish with a chocolate glaze) mmmm!

Join us for a rare treat on the eve of MOOMBAKI’s 11th vintage; a degustation menu featuring current & rare museum wines, carefully matched with a delectable selection of truly local and lovingly prepared produce.

Check out the delicious menu

The Old Pantry is an exciting new restaurant next-door to the Butter Factory on Mt Shadforth Rd, Denmark. Jiri Srutka is the passionate chef and he sources all his produce locally (and I mean within a 5 to 50km radius), and he is causing much excitement due to his in-house charcuterie most notably from ethically grown venison and pork from just down the road. Marron features on the menu as well as freshly caught seafood. The menu changes weekly depending on what is available through the local networks. We’ve experienced some fantastic flavours and melt-in-the-mouth moments as his many repeat customers will also testify.

Dinner: Friday & Saturday nights
Lunch: Weekends
