Sow a seed
At St Erth café we are striving to work in harmony with nature. Wherever possible, we use fruit and vegetables which are in season,
regional and organic. Our philosophy flows through to the garden where we grow as many heirloom vegetables as we can to supply the kitchen with fresh produce,
every day.
The Garden
By using local growers and producers we support the local economy, using fewer food miles and promoting environmentally sustainable agriculture.
The Heronswood plate embodies the freshness and flavour of just harvested ingredients; we never take this for granted.
Garden harvest
We aim to use the freshest ingredients direct from the garden. Our chefs design the menu each day based on what fresh, ripe organic produce is ready to be harvested.
Many of our vegetables are heirloom varieties that most people have never seen or tasted before, purple carrots, yellow tomatoes, striped beetroot,
all dripping with flavour and fragrance.
Discover it
Discover fresh, simple ingredients that don’t need overpowering with elaborate sauces and cooking.
Heirloom produce such as Five Colour Silverbeet sautéed with garlic and lemon zest,
or Chioggia and Bulls Blood Beetroot complimented by horseradish cream are just some of the seasonal delights to be discovered.
Taste it
Our seasonal menu reflects the best that the garden has to offer.
The friendly staff are always on hand to explore the menu with you.

With the same fresh food focus as Heronswood, our café uses produce harvested straight from the garden and local ingredients.
The ever changing menu may include delights such as a freshly baked pumpkin, fetta & spinach tart, a tasting plate with Istra sausages, local potatoes & fresh garden greens or a local trout and warm potato salad. Desserts may be freshly baked cakes or maybe organic raspberries with freshly whipped cream. Local producers including Istra & Fernleigh Farm feature heavily as well as a myriad of others.
