Winemaker Dinners

Our special Winemaker Dinner series brings a unique experience – combining a cellar door experience from a range of sustainable, family run wineries from across the country with a specially crafted three course meal from our team. An opportunity to learn the stories behind the wine, speak to the winemakers themselves and take home a bottle or two at the end of the night.

We love Australian wine and Australian ingredients and this is our way of celebrating them both with you!

High Tea stand on table in The Dove and Shears

Best of British High Tea

Every Saturday during June from 11am to 2:30pm

Members $50pp | Visitors $56pp
Includes house-made high tea tower and choice of tea or coffee teapot

We’ve teamed up with Cape Byron Distilleries, an esteemed Australian distiller from Byron Bay, to prepare this special edition Best of British High Tea in celebration of the Royal birthday!

What makes this special? Our chefs have put a Dove and Shears spin on some of the King Charles’ favourites and are serving alongside some traditional and unique high tea treats. You’ll also find the beautiful Brookies Gin ‘baked’ into several items, including our house made Jammie Dodger.

We’d recommend pairing this High Tea experience with one of our limited edition Brookies Cocktails – either the Brookie’s Turkish delight or Brookie’s free spirited blood orange spritz mocktail (hint, you can add these when making your booking too)

Menu is provided as a sample only. Individual items may change depending on available stock. Children’s High Tea available for $30pp. Bookings are essential as numbers are limited. Full payment is required to secure your booking. View Terms and Conditions.  

Gin Flight

Designed to showcase the unique, the award winning, the quirky and the downright delicious boutique gin from behind our bar. A great introduction for the gin novice, but equally impressive for the gin connoisseur among us.

We’ll be spotlighting three gins each month (or so…) from our range of over 100 different varieties for you to sip and enjoy at the bar or with your meal. Stay tuned to our socials for the latest selections.
