studd siblings cheese PLATE

We believe Good Times is best enjoyed with good cheese.

The Studd family joke is that their veins run with brie instead of blood - so, who better than Ellie and Sam Studd (brother/sister duo) Certified Cheese Professionals to bring you a handpicked delicious autumn party cheese plate to devour whilst looking out over the Murray.

Pre-order your Studd Siblings Cheese Plate Add-on in preparation for Good Times featuring the Brillat Savarin Affine Triple Cream 200g (French Import) with a selection of crackers and seasonal fruits for ultimate indulgence of the dairy variety.

The Brillat Savarin is a decadent triple-cream cheese and is the perfect party pleaser. Created in the 1950s by Parisian affineur, Pierre Androuet, this example from Bourgogne, France is uniquely ripened under a thin coat of wrinkled yellow Geotrychum mould naturally found in unpasteurised cow's milk. This mould is rarely used because it is hard to wrap, but the poplar wooden box creates the ideal, moist microclimate for it to thrive.

NATURAL ICE-CREAM AUSTRALIA

Natural Ice-Cream Australia are Artisans of small-batch, gut-health focused ice-cream that is both prebiotic and probiotic. Showcasing natural ingredients and flavours inspired by our beautiful Australian bush with a particular focus on indigenous produce. NIA visionaire Wal Foster will be travelling down to Good Times from the Northern Rivers to create a once in a life time native dessert as part of the Wild Feast over Fire. 

WILD PIE

Sample an exclusive taste of Wild Pie - the exciting new pie range from chefs and best mates Jo Barrett & Louise Daily (Little Picket - Lorne), Mark La Brooy (Three Blue Ducks) and wild game providore Discovered Wildfoods. More than just seriously good artisan pastry, Wild Pie is driven by a shared passion for sustainably wild-caught ingredients that celebrate Australia while protecting it. The line-up for this pastry party includes High Country sourced wild venison & rosemary, Flinders Island wallaby bolognese (“wallagnaise”) and a banging wild boar & cabbage sausage roll. Giddy up folks, these won’t last long.

GOOD TIMES CANTINA

With a selection to suit every palette and dietary requirement, the Cantina will serve coffee, elixirs and a range of all day tucker from 8am-midnight on Saturday and from 8am-11am Sunday for those (wisely) choosing to spend the night in search of a recovery breakfast.
