A free-to-attend family weekend of whale-theatre, performance, dance, music and creative workshops. A celebration of creativity, community, imagination and ocean culture.
Read moreA purpose
Our vision is to create a positive impression on people and the planet, reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment. Locality, seasonality, and provenance drive the menu. We want to educate our team and guests on all the great produce available on our doorstep.
Food for thought
Vegetables and farm fruits are local and hyper tasty, the local catch each morning dictates what fish to have with your chips, and peel and eat prawns are MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) certified only.
We are also tackling food waste with correctly sized portions.
