We Would Like to Thank...

Local Eastbourne fishermen Martin Hansen and Dan Dellebarca catch almost 100% of the fish served here. Martin and Dan fish daily off the Pencarrow Coast and in the Cook Strait providing us with a variety of species a lot of which is line caught. Martin and Dan also sell their catch at Whiorau Reserve in Lowry Bay on Saturday mornings.

We have also been working with Scott Makin a local gardener. Scott has been growing organic baby salad leaves and micro greens such as the Bulls Blood Beet, Golden Silverbeet and Pea Tendrils specifically for us from the gardens and green houses in Lowry Bay. Scott supplies us with these still growing so that we can cut them fresh as we need them. We are working closely with Scott who is seeding a variety of interesting and hard to source vegetables that we will be using in the restaurant fresh straight from the garden.

 

Where possible we try to use produce from this region, with most of our Prime Angus Beef coming from the Levin Area and our Lamb coming from the Wairarapa. Our Salmon comes from just across the strait in the Marlborough Sounds, our Oysters come across from Blenheim and the Crab we use comes down from Waikanae.

We use Coffee Supreme’s wonderful Fair Trade Organic Coffee, but once you’ve had your fix we keep the Coffee grounds for Scotts worms! Scott feeds the grounds to his worms to help produce the “worm wee” used to fertilise the produce he supplies us. We also keep our vegetable scraps that Scott then composts along with extra coffee grounds to use on the vegetable gardens.

Since we have had the restaurant we have cut down the rubbish being sent to landfill by nearly 75 % We have done this by recycling all Glass, Plastic, Cardboard as well as the vegetables and coffee mentioned earlier. We have also cut the use of harsh chemicals in the restaurant and now use environmentally friendly cleaning products made from Citrus, Pine and Salt solutions.

We would also like to thank our friends and family who provide us with their seasonal glut of organic “Eastbourne” fruit that many of our sorbets and chutneys are made from.
