What Is The Best Type Of Steak?
A: It all comes down to personal preference, as far as tenderness goes the Eye Fillet is the most tender although, being so lean some find it lacks in flavour. My personal favourite would be the scotch fillet, still very tender but with a nice marble through the middle giving it that beefy flavour while keeping the steak juicy. If you’re a steak connoisseur, ask us about our Dry Aged Tomahawks!

What is the secret to a good pork crackle?
A: Who doesn’t love a juicy crackling pork roast! Dry the skin using a paper towel, rub in a dash of olive oil and plenty of salt!! Preheat your oven to 220*c and cook for approximately 15 minutes @ 220*c, then reduce to 160*c and cook for 60mins per kg uncovered or 68* internal using a thermometer.
Tips for the perfect cooked roast?
A: A thermometer is your best friend! The general rule for cooking roasts is 60mins per kg, though using a thermometer is the most reliable method and takes all of the guess work out for you! We recommend cooking at 160-170*c, with an internal core temperature of 65-68*c for beef & lamb and 70*c for poultry. Ideally covered for the main duration and uncovered the last 20 minutes
