Good beef starts long before it reaches the grill. Our head chef Matt Fox and some of the team recently travelled to Tallawanta Farm in northern NSW to meet with the team at and see firsthand where our beef comes from.

This is where Tallawanta Black Angus Porteño Reserve is raised.

The cattle are raised on the farm and grain finished for around 180 days on a ration grown on the property including sorghum, barley, wheat and faba beans. The feedlot is also on the farm, with water sourced from an artesian well.

Understanding the produce we cook with every day is an important part of what we do.
