Butcher and the Farmer opens this month!
Butcher and the Farmer will open on 22 September at the new Tramsheds development in Glebe. The produce-driven 300 seat restaurant, bar, and private dining room will feature a beautifully restored heritage tram as well as a fully integrated butchery, takeaway and providore experience. It will be open seven days a week, from 8:00am for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Butcher and the Farmer's ethos will be to celebrate ingredients and produce sourced largely from farmers it has a direct relationship with. Chefs Jared Ingersoll and Simon Van Twillert have created a menu that will feature whole animals roasted over coal, a rotisserie, and smoked meats and vegetables from a Southern Pride pit – a huge smoker imported from Texas.
The pit’s two regulators allow precise control over cooking temperatures delivering a range of flavour profiles. The menu will also feature pickled and preserved vegetables, some house-made charcuterie, terrines, and parfaits, and cultured yoghurts.
“Butcher and the Farmer is all about feeding people good, honest food, and them knowing where it comes from,” Jared says.
“The suppliers we are working with have been chosen, first and foremost, based on the flavour of their produce and because they are passionate people who pay close attention to every single part of their production.
“I hope that comes through in our food – we want to create simple, beautiful dishes that honour traditions and truly reflect and respect the produce they are built on.”
Some of the suppliers featured on the opening menu include pork from Crackwillow Farm in Oberon, NSW; biodynamic egg suppliers Cornucopia Farms; meats from Richard Gunner and Scott de Bruin in South Australia; and dairy goods from Country Valley and Pepe Saya. Dishes on the opening menu will feature classic and approachable favourites like smoked garlic toast with grated parmesan; smoked beef short rib and spit roasted lamb, and old- fashioned, comfort desserts like cobblers and pound cakes.
The providore and takeaway sections will sell goods perfect for eating at home or in the nearby park, including coffee by Melbourne roasters Rosso and home-made baked goods like cakes and crumpets.
Butcher and the Farmer open seven days from 8:00am
