Our Head Chef Tim Pickering always aims to source his produce as locally as possible, and with an idyllic Hawke’s Bay location, his “food miles” have been relatively few. Now with the Cape Kidnappers vegetable garden in place and its close proximity to the lodge, our chefs are able to create daily menu’s based on what is freshest, utilising many vegetables straight from the garden and offering the most seasonal produce to our guests. Depending on the season we have a wide variety of different vegetables growing and we would be delighted to show you through.
We pride ourselves on making as much as we can on site. Our Pastry Chef Korey Field makes everything from scratch here at The Farm – from cereals, cookies, breads, jams, exquisite pastries to ice cream. His chocolate chip cookies are gaining legendary status, and the smell of melting chocolate wafting from the kitchen means Korey is making one of his wonderful desserts for the night’s dinner menu.
