Native & Wild

Overview

Are you a carnivorous, eat-the-coat-of-arms sort? Think that crocodiles are best served on a plate, rather than roaming across the continent? Keen to sample some of the flora this grand ol' country has gifted us, as well as the fauna? Native & Wild is just the feast that'll let you eat and drink your way across the Australian landscape.

On May 8 from 7pm, Catchment Brewing Co.'s latest serves up a dinner that couldn't be more Aussie — and there's not a meat pie or lamington in sight. The menu kicks off with wild boar meatballs with Australian cheddar; wild pepper, black garlic and wild thyme crocodile skewers; and Warrigal greens — and yep, wild is a theme.

From there, munch on wallaby fillet with wattle seed syrup and burnt onion, braised rabbit with native veg and bush tomato caprese salad, plus emu schnitzel with outback sea parsley and lemon myrtle, kangaroo sliders with finger lime mayo and quail egg, and charcoal samphire. Aussie spirits, beers and produce will be flowing in abundance, but needless to say, this isn't a meal for vegetarians. Tickets cost $95 per person for the kind of culinary lineup you mightn't come across again.
