Summer Camp Cookouts at Pope Joan
Acclaimed chef Matt Wilkinson takes over the Brunswick East cafe's backyard for a twelve-night stint slinging charry, seasonal dishes.
Overview
Summer's en route, which means it's almost time to start planning those backyard barbeques. Or, you could leave the hard work to a professional — namely acclaimed chef Matt Wilkinson, as he returns to the Pope Joan barbie for his annual Summer Camp Cookouts series.
After the smokin' success of last summer's debut season, the al fresco dining series will once again see Wilkinson take over the Brunswick East cafe's backyard for a 12-night stint slinging charry, seasonal dishes hot off the coals.
On offer Tuesdays through Fridays from December 5 to 22, this year's menu features a summery lineup of local mussels; chargrilled chicken hearts, lamb and turkey; oysters and squid; veggie dishes aplenty and an array of 'things-in-tins'. Meanwhile, sister and next-door neighbour The Pie Shop will be keeping things sweet, plating up a special edition peach, lemon verbena and raspberry pie for dessert.
Bookings for Pope Joan's Summer Camp Cookouts open Monday, November 20. Contact the eatery by phone or email to reserve your place.
