The menu is created to celebrate the freshest seafood of the surrounding Abrolhos Islands.

Featuring the best seasonal WA produce the chefs will delivery a culinary journey of contemporary fine dining dishes.

Guy Jeffreys is the executive chef for Fogarty wine group.

At Millbrook Winery in Jarrahdale they serve estate-grown modern country food. While he features local artisan producers on the menu, the kitchen team are known for growing heirloom vegetables from saved seed in the property’s one acre garden. This approach to food has won much acclaim for the venue over the past 10 years under Guy’s guidance including a critics choice review in The New York Times.

At Bunkers Beach House, a casual seafood eatery, in Bunker Bay, they serve only West Australian seafood. While he uses vegetables grown at Millbrook Winery the kitchen team are known for serving only line caught or by-catch West Australian seafood. Guy has taken on this project in 2019 and in the first month been awarded top 25 by the West Australian Good Food Guide Awards in the casual dining category.

At Evans and Tate in Margaret River Guy is about to launch a new picnic based menu specialising in house Australian cold cut meats, breads and vegetable/fruit preserves. Stay tuned.
