The Italian Long Lunch at The Dairy

Italian Long Lunch at The Dairy

After a few weeks of unpredictable weather, we’re thrilled to bring back our much-loved long lunch edition!

For nearly a century, The Dairy at Burringbar has been cradled in lush green fields, surrounded by rolling hills, Jersey cows, and happy hens. Our family has been its caretakers for almost 50 years, with three generations growing up here—milking house cows, collecting eggs, making butter and cheese, and gathering for long, abundant meals with family and friends.

Food is at the heart of our Italian heritage. Some of our fondest memories are of lingering lunches with Nonna, where time slowed, wine flowed, and the table was filled with handmade pasta, slow-roasted meats, wood-fired bread, and vibrant seasonal vegetables. Plates were passed, stories were shared, and laughter echoed under the old black bean tree.

Now, we invite you to experience this tradition with us. As the afternoon sun filters through the trees, take your seat at our long table and savour an indulgent Italian feast inspired by the flavours of our family’s villages in both northern and southern Italy.

Our past events sold out quickly, so don’t miss your chance to grab a seat at the table. We can’t wait to share this special tradition with you!
