MENU
We’re Proud of Our 100% Tasmanian Menu

Some recipes are our own creations, others are timeless favourites — all generous, hearty, and full of flavour.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy your time here. We’re not a restaurant — you’ll have privacy and space to unwind, with us just a few steps away if you need anything.
Allergies or dietary requirements? No problem — just give us at least a week’s notice so we can source from our local Tasmanian suppliers.
Tasmanian Trio of Cheeses
Three devine local cheeses: Double Cream Brie + Vintage Club Cheddar + Blue Vein Cheddar – Relish an array of “Tasmania’s Finest Handcrafted Cheeses” from Southern Sky Cheese Company, our local cheese producer just north of our location in Perth, Tasmania. These premium cheeses are perfect by founder, Rod Wyker, with 30 year industry expertise he crafts fine cheeses and dairy products. Born of his love and passion for specialty dairy products and Tasmanian produce. Perfect Tassie cheeses to showcase on our platters.
Double Cream Brie – A creamy surface ripened cheese with an exquisite creamy texture and a mushroomy aroma that develops with age. Made with added cream which creates a subtle and delicate flavour and clean finish.
Vintage Club Cheddar – Expertly made with selected cheddars that have been carefully aged, this cheese offers a smooth velvety texture, and strong bitey cheddar notes.
Blue Vein Club Cheddar – This remarkable cheese delivers everyone’s favourite sweet and savoury cheddar notes, followed by earthy, sharp and robust blue flavours. A must have on the cheese platter for both blue cheese aficionados and first time tasters!
Tasmanian Prime Meats
Leg Ham Off the Bone, Mild Salami + Kabana – An artisan selection of Tasmanian meats, a true showcase of Tasmanian craftsmanship and flavour.
Scotch Eggs
A classic comfort food, long loved in Scottish and British pubs. Our traditional recipe features a perfectly cooked free-range egg, freshly laid by our own hens, wrapped in seasoned Tasmanian pork mince and gently spiced with fresh sage and thyme from our own garden for added flavour. Traditionally enjoyed cold as a hearty traveller’s snack or picnic staple, Scotch Eggs remain a nod to their heritage — a rustic Scottish favourite, lovingly recreated here in Tasmania.
Homemade Seasonal Dips
Always fresh, always changing. Expect our classic hummus (chickpeas, tahini, lemon, garlic) alongside a rotating seasonal dip made from scratch with local produce and herbs from our garden.
Wallaby & Pork Terrine
Wallaby is uniquely Tasmanian. Tassie is the only place where it’s legal to harvest them. Wallaby produces a much milder and sweeter meat than it mainland counterparts aka larger roos.
This is our own created recipe, you won’t experience this Wallaby & Pork Terrine anywhere else in THE WORLD!
Savour the unique taste of Tasmania with this sustainable, protein-rich delicacy. Wild-harvested wallaby meat, by Tasmania’s Lenah Game Meats, combined with tender Tassie pork, thyme from our garden, basil, garlic, and pepita seeds, creates a terrine that is both delicious and environmentally conscious.
Tasmanian Pepperberry Quince Paste
Created by Wild Pepper Isle, Tasmanian Pepperberries gives this quince paste an extra fresh, fruity dimension and little pockets of pepper that give you a burst of bush flavour and peppery bite! It’s a Gold medal award winner multiple times over at the Royal Hobart Fine Food Awards
Homemade Old-Style Pickled Cucumber & Red Onion
A true taste of tradition—our crisp cucumbers and sweet red onions are hand-sliced and preserved in a tangy blend of white and apple cider vinegars, balanced with just the right touch of sugar and salt. Infused with our special house mix of pickling spices, these pickles are bright, crunchy, and full of flavour. The perfect old-fashioned accompaniment to complement cheeses, meats, and terrines on your picnic platter.
Fresh Seasonal Vegetable Sticks
Crisp, colourful and refreshing—perfect for dipping, snacking, and adding a crunchy, healthy balance to your picnic platters.
Homemade Breads & Savoury Biscuits
Baked with care, most of our breads and savoury biscuits are made from scratch right here at The Church.
Soft, wholesome loaves and crisp, golden rosemary crackers provide the perfect base to enjoy with cheeses, dips, and preserves—a comforting homemade touch to every platter.
Scones with Jam & Cream + Rich Chocolate Fudge Slice
Warm homemade scones (made with ALL Tasmanian ingredients) served straight out of the oven. With sides of local gourmet Summerberry Jam made at the nearby town of Evandale, with whipped cream and Tassie butter, plus
Homemade Chocolate Fudge Slice for that rich chocolate treat to top off your day!
