AMAZING Italian style food bought to you by Glenn Laurie chef and restaurateur who ran the beloved Little Black Pig & Sons in Heidelberg between 2013 and 2017 with his partner Lolo Hanser. Prior to that he spent four years at The River Cafe in London, which sparked his passion for Italian food, and he was also part of the opening team at Richmond’s Royal Saxon Hotel in 2009.
Much of the fresh produce is grown on site for use in the kitchen.

There is a costal walk from Torquary to Lorne. You can do anysection of this depending on how adventurous you are feeling. My favourite is Torquay to Anglesea with lunch at the Anglesea General Store cafe at the end. Be sure to drop a car at your destination.

Lorne is about an hour's drive away, but well worth it. The township is amazing and in the hills behind is the iconic Erskine Falls.
