WINTER MENU

Our sunny courtyard is the perfect spot for springtime dining, and the large open fireplace in the heart of the restaurant keeps us cosy in the winter months.

With its rustic wooden beams and corrugated iron, our unique restaurant nods to the colonial past. Charles Boydell’s journals tell us that he regularly made the voyage from Paterson to Morpeth via paddle steamer – we wanted to capture this authenticity to honour our namesake.

Boydell’s Christmas Package 2025

 

“Fantastic dining experience. Best I have had in a long time. Food was amazing and served promptly. I had the Reserve Shiraz Viognier with my main which is beautiful. Great atmosphere from the rustic timber construction of the 1800’s era building. And quiet enough to actually talk without needing to raise your voice. Just terrific IMHO” – Jeremy
