The same care bestowed on the vineyards is given to Newstead’s culinary offering. Lunches served on the veranda feature seasonal produce, most of it grown on the farm. Today, a salad of fennel, radish and figs, shaved Parma ham and Parmesan, topped with a dressing made with honey produced in the next-door lavender field, is star of the show. Tomorrow it may be shoulder of pork slow-roasted with chilly and ginger and served with spring onion pancakes or slow roasted wood fired spicy chicken. Home-grown macadamias and apples from the Newstead orchard are used in an assortment of bakes and the vegetable garden’s fragrant tomatoes shine on artisanal wood fired pizzas. Delicious desserts. Limited quantities of artisan food is prepared daily. Enjoy winning wines & bubbles & infused craft cocktails in the vineyard Bubble&gin bar.
